Vehicle Description
KC Classic Auto is proud to present this FABULOUS 1966 Ford
Fairlane GT convertible, A.K.A. Gidget! Believed to be a 3 owner
car, current owner purchased the car from the second owners estate,
who owned it for 35 years. This RARE ride is 1 of 4,327 Fairlane GT
convertibles produced in 1966! Powered by an S-code 335hp 390ci V8
mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine and transmission
are believed to be original, and the date code on the block (6E27 =
5/27/66) and the build date of the car (6/13/66) support that. The
previous owner installed a Crane Cam, hooker headers, Glasspacks,
and an Edlebrock Performer intake manifold. (original intake
manifold, exhaust manifold, etc.) will be included with the
car).The body panels appear to be original with evidence of rust
repair being performed on the lower rear quarters, and the bottom
of the driver door. Previous owner believed the car had one full
re-paint (in its original Arcadian Blue). The paint/body are in
good condition with some flaws/touchups and bubbling from prior
rust repair (see pics).The power convertible top was replaced
around 16 years ago and works great. The top is in good condition
with minor wear. The Parchment interior is in good shape for its
age, showing normal wear. The front seat covers were replaced in
2000, and the drivers seat has one small tear on the bottom.The car
runs and drives great! In the past year, the current owner had the
following installed: a new Holley 650cfm carburetor and electric
choke, new under hood seal/bumpers, new door seals/bumpers, new
master cylinder, NOS temperature sending unit, new door stoppers,
new vacuum lines, new fuel lines, new brake wheel cylinder, and a
new tailshaft seal. The emergency brake was repaired, oil was
changed and a tune-up was performed last year as well.The car sits
on factory 14 wheels (recently polished) with 4 new BF Goodrich
Silvertown Redline 225/70/14 tires. The original broadcast sheet,
owners manual and many original parts are included with the sale.
Some aftermarket parts also included. Visit KC Classic Auto online
