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 and rare 1966 Ford
Fairlane 500 GT "S-Code" with big-block power that's been
rotisserie restored and painted underneath! Powered by a
believed-original 390 C.I. V8 with a "C6ME" date code, this '66
Fairlane really has the cream of the crop when it comes to Ford
powertrains! Torque is stomped into the pavement through a
believed-original 4-speed manual transmission, which shifts quick
and smooth and is sure to put a smile on the face of whoever is
behind the wheel. Being the benefit of a full rotisserie
restoration, this '66 Fairlane's curvy bodylines are laser
straight. The exterior is covered in a fantastic "Red Poly"
paintjob, which has a beautiful finish and a mirror-like shine.
That red paint is complimented by contrasting black GT stripes and
badges, which run alongside the lower doors and quarterpanels. As
to be expected from a fully-restored car, this Fairlane's
undercarriage is rock-solid, even painted body color like it was
from the factory. Opening the twin doors of this Fairlane welcomes
you into a show-quality, stunning black vinyl interior, complete
with comfy patterned bucket seats that sit on either side of a full
center console. Options on this showstopper of a Fairlane include
factory gauges, an aftermarket tachometer, an original AM
pushbutton radio, a full center console, GT-package trim and
graphics, a woodgrain steering wheel, a GT shift knob, dual remote
chrome mirrors, vent windows, and a mean-sounding dual exhaust
system. The car rides on an eye-catching set of factory-correct 14"
chrome wheels over thin whitewall tires for a factory-fresh,
period-correct look straight out of a 1966 Ford advertisement! With
that combination of a 390 V8, dual exhausts, and a 4-speed manual
transmission, this '67 Fairlane runs and drives just beautifully
and sounds great doing so. It isn't every day you see an authentic
S-code Fairlane GT come up for sale, much less a fully-sorted and
restored example like this one is. You're not going to see another
quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
