Vehicle Description
It's not hard to say that this 1966 Ford Fairlane GT tribute is
better than an original. With amazing new paint, comfortable A/C
interior, a performance-built V8 under the hood, and the upgraded
5-speed manual, it's the muscle machine that leaves you wanting for
nothing.
You're looking at the face of Ford racing in the '60, and this
coupe carries it perfectly. Highland Green is one of those great
Ford performance colors (heck, the Bullitt Mustang was that hue!)
And there has been a serious investment in a modern clearcoat and a
professional hand applying it. The way this coupe pops in the
sunlight really highlights how straight the body panels are and how
crisp the creases remain today. Plus, there are details the let you
know this is a real muscle machine, like the 17-inch ARE torque
thrust wheels and the 390 callouts on the hood (it's a bit of an
understatement, but more on that in a bit.) But it also is still a
premium Fairlane at heart. So you get the hardtop coupe body with
the bright wide re-chromed bumpers and the shining grille as long
as the horizon.
The Fairlane's upscale mission is particularly evident inside with
handsome stitching on the freshly restored interior. It makes for
the perfect classic car atmosphere with the bucket seats, a center
console, and lots of brightwork on the instrument panel. There's
plenty of room in the back seat, and the spacious trunk will carry
enough luggage to go coast-to-coast. The large horizontal
speedometer is bright and clear, and to supplement it, a set of
auxiliary dials watching voltage, oil pressure, and coolant
temperature was fitted underneath. The steering wheel is a
beautiful piece of performance art that just begs for a set of
vintage driving gloves to be wrapped around its rim. We know that
you won't be able to resist rolling down all the windows and
showing off the hardtop profile, and so this one also comes with
modern R134a air conditioning to keep you cool while looking
cool.
While the interior and exterior show big money spent in
restoration, your favorite investment is going to be under the
hood. In fact, you might want to grab your sunglasses before
showing this one off. There are so many polished component in this
award-worthy engine bay that we dare you to find another piece that
could be chromed. And once you look beyond the style, you're going
to see the substance of a performance-built V8. This is a 351 bored
out to 419 cubic-inches that's also been balanced and blueprinted
as well as fortified with Probe Industries crank, rods, and
pistons. More go-fast goodies include, Edelbrock heads, heavy duty
push rods, Edelbrock Thunder series four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock hi-rise intake, and Hedman long tube headers that feed a
new x-pipe dual exhaust. In fact, there are too many components
list here, so call for all the details. Not only does the manual
transmission give you full control over this V8 and its rumbling
soundtrack, but also since this is upgraded to a Tremec five-speed
with Centerforce clutch, you got an extra gear advantage over every
other muscle machine. Grip is even superior to the other classics
thanks to four-wheel disc brakes and modern ZR-rated tires. But as
much as this seems like a beastly Ford, it also is quite
thoughtful. For example, the aluminum radiator with electric fan is
not only good for performance, but also it can also keep the motor
cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
With only about 400 miles on the total build you're looking at a
classic that's beautiful, comfortable, and wickedly fast. This
Fairlane GT tribute is exactly the car you would build if you had
the time... and this one is turnkey ready today. So don't miss out,
call now!!!
