For Sale: 1966 Ford Fairlane in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 XL has upgraded V8 power, a speedy style, and a distinct blue/green packaging that makes for a cool classic with the right custom feel.

There's a lot of personality in this Ford. The Fairlane coupes were restyled this year with stacked headlights, Coker bottle curves, and a hardtop style with fastback lines. So they were substantial-looking cars. The dog dish hub caps, high stance, and side exhaust tips give this one the look of a quarter-mile king. And there's even some extra V8 power to back that up, too. But that's not the whole impression of the car. This has a newer respray in metallic green that gives it a nice gloss and shine you want in a true classic. And the good-looking finish also helps to highlight the well-fitting panels with a well-creased style that gives these Fairlane coupes the right touch of upper-class distinction.

The two-tone aqua interior is tasteful against the green exterior. The clean upholstery has an inviting style for this large coupe. And there are even nice details with the button top on the seatbacks. There's also an upgraded AM/FM/cassette radio for updated driving music. But what this Fairlane 500 XL does best is give you a solid driver's experience. You have nice factory features like the thin/grippy factory steering wheel and bucket seats up front. These are joined by upgrades like the floor shifter and an auxiliary gauge trio under the dash.

This Fairlane was produced right before the era of the mighty 351ci Cleveland V8. But it just seems like the exact right kind of coupe that's perfect for this upgrade. You get a hardy powerhouse in a lighter small block package. It has been upgraded further with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and Ford Motorsports finned valve covers. This is a strong runner and it makes a sweet tune out of the newer dual exhaust. There's even a stout but smooth C6 three-speed automatic transmission to get the power moving to the ground.

This is the bright green hardtop with the right touch of street machine attitude. So if you love a cool and distinct classic Ford, call today!
