This 1966 Ford Fairlane GTA was one of the best ways to bring power
to the pavement. And because it was so respected back in the day,
you'd better believe it still makes a stir today. But more than
just a big motor brute, you'll marvel at the level of originality
and care that has gone into this fast Ford. The Candy Apple Red
immediately grabs your attention. Plus, the rocker triple stripe,
GT fender badges, 390 callouts on the hood trim, and Ford's styled
steel wheels are all reminders of how the GTA took no prisoners on
the streets. But it also is still a premium Fairlane at heart. So
you get the hardtop coupe body with the wraparound bumpers and
distinct grille as long as the horizon. The interior continues the
right balance of power car fun and gentlemanly style. After all,
the red inside looks as sporty as the red outside, but there's
added sophistication everywhere from the button-top seatbacks to
the working courtesy lights in the doors. And as you look under the
hood, the stock-style big V8 has subtle power upgrades like an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and long tube headers. It all
makes for an authentic upper-class GTA that you need to
experience.

The GTA had a great reputation as a gentleman's muscle machine. It
comes from having a stylish setup and a well-appointed bucket seat
interior. And because the big 390 motor was mated to a stout but
smooth C6 automatic transmission (it's the "A" in GTA) it still
knew how to cruise. It's a unique package for its time, and because
this one feels so authentic today, you really can feel the pulse of
it through the steering wheel. It makes for the kind of powerful
and genuine experience that is irresistible to true classic
enthusiasts. So if you love a true muscle machine cruiser, you need
this GTA in your garage. Call today!!!
