Vehicle Description
1966 Ford Fairlane 500 XL 2 Door
Why This Car Is Special
This 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 XL 2 Door we have at Skyway Classics
was the top of the line and advertised by Ford as the sporty
version, but ours is a little more sporty than most as it has the
390 engine option.
Mechanical
It features a 390 cubic inch V-8 engine sitting in a factory stock
looking engine compartment, It is backed by an automatic
transmission and comes equipped with power steering, power brakes,
and has newer chrome valve covers, performance spark plug wires, a
chrome air cleaner, headers leading to a dual exhaust system. and
the original FOMOCO windshield washer water bag.
The undercarriage is structurally sound, with a dual exhaust, and
4-wheel drums to keep it simple. The transmission works great and
has stylish Ford factory styled wheels with chrome trim and Cooper
Cobra white letter tires.
Interior
The red and black bucket seat interior appears as stock with center
console, factory and accessory gauges, seat belts and upholstery,
red safety lights and white courtesy lights in the lower interior
door panels. A back bench with the same presentation, sits under a
very nice headliner. Up front the semi padded black/red vinyl dash
houses the simple instrument cluster, and glovebox.
Exterior
The red paint on our 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 XL 2 Door Convertible
looks great in contrast to the black top appears to be in very nice
physical condition with a nice shine to the paint and a super-clean
top. Ours has straight panels with good gaps, original badging, all
bright work and chrome is in very good condition, as are drip
moldings, window moldings, and a stainless rocker trim strip.
Mechanically, this one can still bring a smile to our faces since
the 390 engine has a great sound and solid performance on the open
road.
