1966 Ford Fairlane 500 - 2 Door, V8, 4-Speed

Description for Ford Fairlane 1966

So your Dad just gave you his '66 Fairlane . time to ditch the wheel covers. white wall tires and sluggish automatic trans. I mean the only people that have automatics in your town are the cops and the school librarian. So what does a kid in the late sixties do with his newly acquired ride? Well 1st you blow that cash you were saving from working at the car-wash on a set of badass ET II mags. While your at the speed shop the guy across the street offers to throw on a set of glass-pack mufflers for next to nothing. sending the single exhaust into the trash. Now that she is looking the part and sounding sweet you need too make your way to old man Jack's junk yard to grab that 4-speed transmission you have had your eye on. Finishing her off with that white 4-speed knob that you have been sleeping with under your pillow since you were old enough to know that all the cool cars have 3 pedals. So lets talk about this fine example of Detroit engineering you see on this page. I know everyone claims they have found their car in a barn. but I really did!!! Now granted it is not a barn-find in the sense that it was tucked away decades ago and left unattended. but more like it was freshened up close to ten years ago and parked in the barn. Only brought out to take the wife to Dairy Queen or to haul the kiddos to the 4th of July celebration in small town USA. What started out as a base Fairlane has been updated and freshened up to make it run great and look good too. The stock 289 and auto trans are gone. nbsp;making way for mid-seventies 302 and a toploader 4-speed. The car was painted almost about 7 years ago. It is not show quality paint or body work. but presents itself well and is driver quality. Floor pans and trunk area have patches installed by previous owner. Going through the stack off receipts this is what has been done to the car in the last 3000 miles:4 new tires last weekfront end alignment March 2015clutch and pressure plate replaced January 2015front shocks. front coil springs. rear leaf springs February 2011wheel cylinders June 2010seats upholstered and carpet replaced motor rebuilt at 39. 70 miles on the odometerAll there. does not appear to be missing anything. All lights and gauges work . even the AM radio comes on and sounds great. I just took the car on a 100 mile trip and it ran great with no issues. Glass is all intact. all windows go up and down like they should. The previous owner did do some amateur etching on the wing window glass. but these are easily replaced if you decide they are not to your liking. This is solid car that runs down the road great and has awesome curb appeal. Sold as is. No warranty. Buyer responsible for all transportation
