Vehicle Description
Ford's famous Fairlane is a staple of the classic car market, known
as the quintessential mid-size muscle cruiser. This is one example
that lives up to that reputation, a stellar 1966 Ford Fairlane 500
XL Convertible with big-block power that's ready to hit the road at
the turn of a key. Powered by a correct 390 C.I. Ford "big-block"
V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '66 Fairlane is
one powerful highway bomber. Torque is put to the pavement through
a smooth-shifting 3-speed automatic transmission, allowing this
Fairlane to drive down the road like a dream. The exterior
"Candyapple Red" paint looks fantastic laid out over this
Fairlane's laser-straight bodylines, and it pairs perfectly to the
white exterior trim and convertible top. In addition, the floors,
frame, trunk and jambs are all rock-solid and each present well!
Opening the twin doors reveals a stunning black vinyl interior,
complete with 500XL-exclusive comfy deluxe-patterned bucket seats
as well as a full center console for added convenience. This '66
Fairlane features a litany of performance as well as functional
options, including power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, an
Edelbrock intake manifold, a remote chrome driver's mirror, a full
center console, factory gauges, an original AM pushbutton radio, a
power convertible top, a heater + defroster, vent windows, and a
mean-sounding Flowmaster dual exhaust system. The car rides on a
sleek set of 16" Legendary Magnum 500-style wheels over Nitto
"Extreme Performance" blackwall tires for a fantastic look that
combines the best of both vintage and modern muscle! With that
combination of a 390 V8, Flowmaster dual exhausts, and power
4-wheel disc brakes, this '66 Fairlane runs and drives just
beautifully and sounds great doing so. The very definiton of
"Muscle Cruiser", this '66 Fairlane isn't going to be on the
showroom floor long, so don't let it pass you by! We'd love to see
you behind the wheel when it goes.
