For Sale: 1966 Ford Fairlane in Lutz, Florida

This 1966 Ford Fairlane has the right look you want in a great cruising classic. That means impressive paint, a comfy interior, and proper V8 power. Plus, there's always just something extra cool about a classic coupe with a fastback profile.

The trim tag tells us this was born an Arcadian Blue coupe. The factory-correct color has the kind of bright presence that can be a standout in a crowd, and this example benefits from a more recent respray that really gives it a nice glow. And you can tell there has been an overall investment to keep this car looking impressive, right down to the clean glass and fresh gaskets. Those big chrome bumpers have the mirror-like look of new, and they are joined by the complete trim, ornate grille, and wheel covers give you terrific classic brightwork. Plus, the pillarless hardtop profile with its long/sleek rear gives this a sporty style. And that's reinforced by details like the fender callouts and dual exhaust tips.

The blue interior is also factory correct. There have been more recent investments in carpets, nice door panels, and comfy velour bench seats. It's all fresher, but it retains a vintage appearance, right down to the working dome light and classic wood inserts on the door. This is built to be a comfortable true cruiser, and so you may want to update to a retro-style radio or restore the R134a air conditioning. But no matter how you choose to motor, you know there's just something hypnotic about the feel of the thin steering wheel in your hands and the breeze that comes from rolling down all the windows on a hardtop and going for a drive.

Nestled in the tidy engine bay is Ford's hardy 289 small block V8. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, it makes for a nice power package that confidently moves this coupe. It makes this classic an easy cruiser. That's why you also have solid any-time driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.

It's hard not to get excited about an attractive all-blue coupe that's also been set up so that you can enjoy showing off this style in more places. Call today!!!
