You are looking at a 1966 Ford Fairlane that has been turned into an R Code style Lightweight Fairlane. This car
has the infamous Ford 427 FE engine, with a speed toploader, heads, blowproof bellhousing, and Ford 9” rearend.
The car was built to be strong, powerful, and fast, and it checks all of those boxes. This is a great way to get a
427 Fairlane without spending 150k-200k.
The car starts right up and sounds amazing. The car is very fast and is a complete rush to drive and I wouldn’t
hesitate to take the car anywhere. All the lights work.
The car started out life as a C code 289 Fairlane, but it is far from that now.

Interior:
Nice woodgrain steering wheel, tachometer. Dark Blue Bench Seat interior is in great shape and very clean. Very
nice carpet, seat upholstery and headliner. Very clean and simple interior. No radio.
Body:
The body of the car is finished in Wimbledon White paint with matching Wimbledon white detailed wheels. 427 Emblems
on the front fenders and long with the fiberglass hood correct for a lightweight Fairlane. The body is overall very
straight and the paint is nice and clean and smooth. Highly representable car. Windshield wipers have been removed
but can be put back on. Quarter Fairlane 500 emblems are included but not installed. Battery has been relocated to
the trunk. The trunk is very solid with only two minor places on the driver side trunk floor.
The underneath of the car is very nice and solid. Subframe connectors were added. I see no signs of rust and the
floors are nice with no ugly patch work or anything. Could use a little cleaning but extremely solid. Frame rails
front and back are also nice and solid with no issues. The car is manual steering and manual drum brakes. The car
could use a couple things such as small rubber quarter window seals and arm rest ash trays and a radio perhaps.
Needs a radiator support bracket for the top.
