The Brown Family owns a piece of their families history in this 1966 Ford Fairlane. Mr. James was working on getting this rig back to perfect before he passed and now after 20 plus years, we hope to get it running again. Mr. James' grandson Justin wants to drive this car on his wedding day. Will we at least get it started after its long pause of running? We attempted to get it started for the first time in years. Will we get this Old 2 Door Ford started? Will it Move for the first time in years? Will we put a smile on this family's faces? All these questions answered on this episode of RevStoration.

You, got her going, Rev! Ephesians 2:8-9! My favorite! I, put that on my business cards.
390 four speed Fairlane. The stuff of dreams.
She is going to be fun to drive.
The sound of those thrush mufflers brings back memories they sound like no other muffler has ever been produced.
I had a 390 in a pickup with a 4 speed. A car with a 4 speed would be a different story. It would be very special..
Bought a 66 Fairlane 500 XL new right after returning from my second tour during Vietnam war. Loved that car! Had to sell it a few years later to help my Mom & Dad out with medical bills. Thanks for the video! JP3
I enjoyed it too.
@jwpeters Thank you Sir for your service. May God bless you
Did the XL have the 4100 Autolite?
i was born in 66, have always want a 66 Falcon or Farlane. awesome car, and awesome grandpa. my grandpa use to buy and fix up and repaint and sell old mustangs when i was a kid. i would spend hours watching him, and then sweeping out his garage, for a quarter. awesome memories... thanks rev, and god bless you and your family.
Good Lord what a nice FORD !!!!
I had one of the 66 Fairlane GT 390 4 speed it was Spanish Moss Green and a black vinyl top with black interior a good running car, Justin should enjoy that ride for a long time.
RIV ALL OF US KNEW YOU COULD DO IT WHO YOU GOT ON YOUR TEAM LOL
I started restoration on my 66 Fairlane convertible 5 years ago after 25 years of ownership. Almost done. I had a red 66 in high school. Love these Fords.
Can't wait for another episode with the Ole man! ❤
For the performance nerds like myself. In 1966, this car was advertised as having 265 hp @ 4400 rpm, and 401 ft-lb of torque @ 2600 rpm, with a Holley 2 barrel. That's plenty of torque to make this car a super fun street cruiser.
Is this a gta because they had 390 4 speed transmission
@@walterpack2541 A Fairlane GTA has an automatic transmission and a GT has a 4 speed manual.
I believe these cars were advertised at 335 hp,,427 ft/lbs of torque,,chk specs.
Rev you remind me of the old school pastor, willing to help anyone in anyway you can! Get to see a car being handed down I got my grandfather's Plymouth and lived that car! Wish I still had it.😊
Wonderful! My family had a 1965 Galaxy 500 that came with a 289 that my Dad moved a 390 Interceptor from a THP cruiser into. That is my favorite car EVER! Thanks!
My experience with Fairlanes in the 70's were the inline 6 versions. Unless you were a teen or a sailor then it was a trip to the junk yard looking for an affordable V-8 to swap in.
I love these cars. I had my first entire can of Coors in a white Fairlane just like this one on a saturday night in the big city of Chickasha Ok. 1972.
I graduated hs with a fellow that drove a ‘66 to school. His two older brothers drove it as well, so it was a hand me down through that family. That car was slick as a mink but dog gone, it had a stinking Chevy 454 in it with a 400 turbo transmission. Makes me sick to my stomach to think back how nice that car was and for his daddy to defile it like that lol.
Great video, great car! Kinda cringed when the uncovered fenders were used for tools, chemicals, etc. Should invest in a set for when ya’ll work on nice rigs. Had a 1966 Fairlane GT with the 390 and 4-speed, nice car.
Yeah that can of wd40 on the paintwork made me cringe.
Rev., its great to see another fairlane getting ready to hit the road once again. Thanks to your knowledge an help. Im sure they are as happy as can be. My wife an i have two 67 fairlanes. One is a 289 GT automotive/floor shift console car. An the other one is a 390 hi-po XL automatic floor shift/console car. We love to get out an cruise them when we can. 😁👍👍
Love the old Fairlanes. My grandfather had a 67 and I remember riding around on a Sunday afternoon with him and my older brother cause grandpa liked to just sit and ride looking at the scenery while my brother drove.
Good Job 👍 Rev Ole Grandpa is Smiling 😁
Im sure he would have loved seeing his grandson starting his car.
Marvel Mystery Oil was my favorite.
Being a stick shift I have broke engines free by putting the trans in gear and rocking the car by hand.
What a car! Okay my first car was a 1967 Ford LTD with a 390 engine so there. Keep us updated on this old gal!
Wow! A friend of mine has a 66 but the 390 blew up and he actually jammed in a 460 because he happened to have a wrecked Lincoln on hand!
Good alternate
I have me a new favorite TH-cam channel. I appreciate everything you and your dad are doing. God bless you
Brings back some good memories when I was a sophomore in highschool back in 1984 I owned a 1967 Ford Fairlane 2 door with a 390 V8 I drove it to a girl's house one night and missed her driveway and went off the road culvert and the car busted in the middle left it at her house and never got back to it for over a week. Well her dad didn't care for me much and before I could get back over there to get it out of there driveway her dad called a salvage yard. Basically the car was gone for good 😢😢
WIsh you would have kept it out of the ditch and hopefully the girl was worth it..
@@RevStoration Yeah I was young and stupid back in my youth. I kinda gave her dad a piece of my mind so that relationship ended quickly. But a few years later I gave my life over to the Lord and haven't looked back at my youthful ways of being reckless and rebellious
A lot of the 1966-67 Fairlanes had bad Welds from the Factory and broke in half, It was when the first started using the "Robots" for the Welding!, So I was told.
David if TH-cam had an award for best intro for a channel you would be 1st 🥇 place
How cool is this video you have a great man A.K.A Rev that teaches you the great word then he comes to your house to play and help get your car runny
Reverend David the 66 Fairlane 390 is a runner. You did this family a solid. A great will it run video.
💯👍👊
Bringing things back to life.
That would be a bad boy with one of those coyotes under the hood
Could be a dream car . Thanks for letting us have a peek.
Thank the Lord for a sweet Ford
Good Lord, What a Ford!!
Absolutely beautiful car! Justin is very blessed to have such wonderful people in his life. God bless ya'll
I was glad to be involved..
That is gonna be a gorgeous car when its done
Love seeing the young fellers working on these classics. Great job Rev.
Good to see everything going well Rev. Man you make me feel old that car was made in 66 the same year as my birthday. Hope the ole man is doing well and the family.
my jaw is getting sore vfrom gritting my teeth everytime you lean over or put stuff on that beautiful paint on the fenders.
We got a towel for the fender..
great job I agree with the thirsty 390 comment we have a 66 Cyclone GT with a very thirsty 390
feed her with drink and she will go.
Nice to see old cars passed down through the family.
Yes, I agree... Awesome ride for an awesome family.
That's a sweet ride, i hope y'all get it running and save it!! It needs to be a show car!! God Bless y'all and Thank You!!
I’m not that far from you Rev and I build FE’s almost daily. If that young man needs anything let me know. Any parts or anything I’ll be happy to help him anyway possible. Love seeing the young folks in the hobby.
Great job Rev
Great car wish they still made them the way they use to
May Gods Blessings continue to shine upon you and your family always
You did a great job rev that that taking noises only exhaust manifold leaking
🇺🇸👍 Good Video, I would like to see the car again when all of the Chrome Trim is installed 👍
That’s a nice Fairlane, would love to drive that, that FE engine, love it
Sweet ride for sure..
7:39 thrush mufflers had a set on my dad’s truck I miss those
He's definitely got the announcers voice
Justin is a awesome young man... he has got a VOICE for sure.
She's a runner!
I want to tune up on it soon... maybe she will truly be a runner...
@@RevStoration oh she will be! I used to have a 67 Fairlane 2 door hardtop with a 390/4 speed. It loved to run and go to the gas station! 😂
Very nice car!!glad to see you back, I miss you guys when you don't put out any videos, hope the Old man is doing well, and thank you for what you do
More to come for sure... sorry for the delays...
When Justin starts putting the bits and pieces on he will need some help. Fairlane club of America is a fantastic source for info. There is a forum for 66-67 fairlanes. Many of the members will have parts for sale. I have seen pictures posted and you know a picture is worth a thousand words.
Great video sir,great if you could do more recovery videos of your friends vehicles,that car will look great when all the chrome is fitted🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
My brother-in-law had one of those, a Fairlane GTA.
Awesome car.
I had a 66 Fairlane 500 2 door hard top 390 4V white outside black inside automatic transmission. I traded it straight across for a 69 Dodge SuperBee. I wish I had both of them back. My 66 had power brakes and the # 8 plug was a real chore to change lol.
Great cars for sure.. Thanks for watching.
Just wondering if you guy's are coming back??? I'm praying for you and your family. And I will continue to pray for you. Hopefully see you soon.
Good Seeing You Back At It David, Hope Your Fathers Doing Well As He’s Heals, Your Wife & Family Are All Well & Blessed.. What A Cool Old Ford Galaxy 500, 390 4V, Beautiful Car, David I Appreciate Your Hard Work & Everything You Do, Your Are A Good Man, Can’t Wait To See What’s Next..
It's a Fairlane, not a Galaxie
My Mistake, Beautiful Fairlane
It was great of you to lend your talents and get that car running , it looks great and sounds good too. Keep up the great work and the awesome videos 👍✌️🇺🇲
I'd like to own that car. Very nice.
Agreed. Sweet ride
Hi from Europa, Serbia- Novi Sad!
I remember those old thrush mufflers. They also had some they called hush thrush.
A sweet rig, hope to see more 😊
Way to go Rev!!! Another Ford brought back to life!!!!! To the current owner of this Fairlane, enjoy this cool ride and be yourself!!!!!
great job as usual thanks for sharing hope you and family doing good
Hello Rev and the ole man
Do the right thing and rebuild the 4100 and put it back on. Keep it original.
es and comets are my favorite,i have owned many of them.i have a 66 caliente-428 4 speed
Old Ford techs refer to the 4100 carb as "cracker box" fun fact.
Spark plug change--no fun on a big block Fairlane--been there-done that. Factory plugs would be auto-lites
I worked many years in wholesale electronics. It is amazing how many almost strangers would ask, what can you get me a new tv for, or a new car radio, or can you come look at my tv. At least once per week, so I know what you are talking about. At least I hae retired from all that.
Cool car
Rebuild that holley. The 390's seem to run really well with them. Mine does.
That is one nice car you done a good job on it I enjoyed the video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great car
Yes sir..
Nice car hard to find the 390 4 speeds
My first car was a 65 Fairlane 289 power glide.
Great job Rev!
My older brother ran head on into a medium blue 66 Fairlane. It drove home but we had to tow his 54 Customline Ford. 😢
Very nice work you guys thanks 👍😊
Hey Brother put some stick on insulation on your ute .Firewall and bonnet doors floor everywhere.It will sound like limosine also cooler.Keep up the good work.After 60 s lincoln must have suicide doors or mid sixtys buick riviera
Don miller had a 67 merc cyclone 390 4 speed she roared. Yepper good luck guys
YOU GOTTA KICK THE FAST IDLE OFF
That car is so near completion, just needs a little loving. Now you need to find a Model A to get going.
that should be a Z-code 390, 300hp. The 4100 is the clue. There was an H-code 2 barrel at 265hp, and the S-code 390GT was 335hp (pretty strong 390). It appears to be a Fairlane 500. It'll be happier with the 4100 rebuilt and back on the car.
Excellent video Rev :) , Justin :) also parents nice car & think oil change plus time change plus oil filters, new fuel pump also carb rebuilt plus & coil to and time change for start ! Then a water pump plus thermostat change plus hose too and nice car for sure Rev :) nice classic vechile !
Oh hell yeah
grate video Rev really enjoyed it
Wow man... choice year... I mean each of the years of the 60's are great years for Fords eh? :-) I'm not lying by saying that and you know better than most that is true for sure. Ya the 66 Fairlane... phew.. man that car with a big block. Just so different from year to year but each year of the Fairlane models are worth keeping.... Dang. I'd love to have one of these lol Beautiful. Be a good thing if he doesn't mind putting the time in to pop that motor, ring it then hone the walls with a dingle ball honer... Lap the valves then if he wants... at least check the bearings... inspect them and if bad, roll in some new ones and then shoestring polish the crank... lot of free time ate up but really not much money really? His Grandad probably has that stuff in a box already and was planning to do it before he run out of steam [sadly RIP]. Love the car though. Stroke that 390 lol Get it up to or beyond 427 at any rate lol
I agree... Beautiful car.
I hope that stuff without has been resolved , been a few months. Such garbage they tried to pull! Never said that! Well, you have not been coming up on the list of subs on my side. So gonna have to watch a bunch !! God Bless! He is Coming SOON!OMy
For future reference comma cans of WD 40 do spray upside down!
Hi for Covington
Hay buddy's
Smoke may just be that choke mostly closed
Try white cleaning vinegar in the cylanders.
Nice car but that knock sounds like a cam bearing gone bad. Cars worth a new rebuild.
Nice
Putting tools and leaning on those fenders with that paint? In the words of Gretta, How DARE you. lol.
Rebuild the carb and change the oil
Next on the agenda... The oil was good, but now we will change it.
Did anyone notice how much it was shaking? Ya got a dead cylinder to diagnose.
Im not at all a ford guy. But I do like that old fairlane. I wish ford had stuck with the 390 water pump/ timing cover design. Much better then the later 302/351 aluminum timing chain cover/ water pump. IMHO...
Amen..
I am they all breakdown
OK pudding gonna correct you he said thrush and Mr. Horsepower are different
Maybe, Im incorrect... Puddin can correct me on a buncha things.. Thanks for watching.
