My friend's cousin has a 66 Fairlane 500 w/ the 427 he bought back in the late 70's for $350. He still has it, bone stock w/ about 78K on the clock & near-mint. I begged him to sell it to me back in the 80's. He refused. Smart guy. Still one of my all-time favorites.
Every car lover has at least one regret in their past: "Damn! Why did sell that! I was so _stupid_ when I was a kid..." I have two regrets - my '56 Jaguar MK VII Saloon Car that I let go for $50 less than the $150 I paid for it; and my '63 Falcon Ranchero 27mpg workhorse... although workpony might be more accurate. I was so _stupid_ when I was a kid...
I remember going with my dad when we bought a new 67 Fairlane wagon. Light blue with the wood on the sides. We kids would put the back seat down and have a ton of room in the back. That was before seatbelt laws of course.
My parents had a light blue & white vinyl top ‘66 Mercury Comet Caliente when I was a little boy. I remember when they traded it in on a white ‘73 Chevelle Malibu that my mom just had to have. Dad always missed the Comet and mom always loved her Bu. Both would be cool to own today!
I love Fairlanes bad ass cars body style I have 66 390 with the 4-speed Toploader used to be a Moonshiner car still has the tanks in the side quarters from Tupelo
@Steve Paige Moonshining is still illegal today even tho it's popularized on a certain network. NASCAR got it's roots from the old Rum Runners or Moonshiners, and of course you know that happened after the 30's.
The car Mario Andretti won the 1967 Daytona 500 with. To this day the only race car driver to win a Formula 1 championship, a Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 .
If only Ford had built any 427 Mustangs. The 428CJ is a good substitute, especially with a C cam. They turned out good! I built a few .060 over 390s (401 cubes , 4.11 bore) with CJ heads 12.5 to 1 cr and big nasty solid lifter cams in high school auto shop. They would spin to 7500 rpms and take on stuff that they should have not been able to beat. They were just old used cars back then.
@@notme810 even had a 7 l Galaxy beautiful car beautiful interior with automatic that thing would run with a 440 Dodge and beat a lot of them, had a mustang we put a 427 in it look just like Steve McQueen's bullitt 4 speed it was a great great running handling car but I got on it one time and hit second hit a wet spot in the road had a water leak somewhere I guess for sleeping through the payment she tacked out almost 8,000 I didn't make it home
1967, I bought a new Candy Apple pearl Ford Fairlane GT 427 car that TASCA Ford built in-house. I still have it today and it's still in pristine showroom condition.
I have a 1965 Galaxie 2 dr ht with a 490 hp 390 I built 20 yrs ago and it will still give you a tingle running it on a 2,lane. It is a little bigger than the 66-67 Fairlane but has the stacked headlights and coke bottle qtrs. Still a fun car! My 40 yr old son is amazed by how it runs with the new stuff. Lol.
I rode in my friend boss 428 4 spend as this, same thing as this cars too much torqued good off each gears lift the stang but that about it. Not real fast as it can't rev. Fall on it's face . Long stroke motor But I love the 427 side oiler short strike and racing cam .now that cars got toque low end but it also got come on the cam rev. 6,000 Now if only we can find a ford 427 hemi double head cam engine that bad azz to bad they ban it before it. Got into production
Anyone who knows anything about Fords knows it's a '67. Look at the bright moldings running down the side, The 66 didn't have them, just a GT Stripe at the rocker panel. Look at the grille, the '67 has an egg crate grille with vertical dividers. The '66 grille had all horizontal bars and a center "spinner". The 428's were only available in 1966 full size Galaxies and Police cars (Interceptor with 15 more HP). They were not a performance motor, just a docile, big car cruiser motor. In 1968, they upgraded the 428 to CJ and SCJ performance versions installed in Mustangs and Torinos. The SCJ motor made it's debut in Super Stock winning the '68 Winternationals. The '67 Fairlane in the vid had a later 428CJ swapped in by the owner. This was a popular swap as the 390GT/GTA motor was gutless. The 428 was dimensionally identical and fit right down to the stock exhaust manifolds. I know, I owned 2 '66 390 GT's and both were slow. I did a 428 swap from a wrecked '68 Mustang CJ and could finally keep up with 396 Chevelles and 400 GTO's. I dressed the motor with the 390 valve covers and air cleaner and told everyone it was the same old 390 with "a good tuneup".
If you bored a 390 .060 over with pop up pistons and a good set of early style C6AER heads (which came on some GTs) and 2.09/1.65 valves and headers with a solid cam and a good intake like a PI aluminum one and the CJ 735 Holley that 400 cube 390 would smack you around. 7000 rpms+ and mine makes 490 and it’s just .020 over 10.25 to1. If you build any FE right they will put a big smile on your face.
The thing about FES 390 s 427 428 you had to get inside their head you had to know what made these engines tick and thank God they were so smart guys because these engines were deadly on the track if you cut me I would bleed blue I love Ford and everything they stand for lay down the tracks they have the records Chevrolet just can't seem to get it through their head I mean they use an old Ford engine design from the 50s and they call them LS now
@@JohnSmith-wd9rc I thought they made all the cars use them, just at Daytona & Talladega. I remember Bill coming from 2 or 3 laps down to win a race,& this was b4 the lucky dog, he had to pass everybody under green to do it! Wish Chase was in a Ford!
I'm a MOPAR guy but always respected Fords. Chevy guys couldn't win so they outlawed the HEMI and made them restrict the Fords. I've despised Chevrolets ever since.
The FE is the most versatile engine’s made. They just needed an aluminum intake and headers and the weight was right at an iron SBC. And you can build a 445 inch long stroker with good heads and have close to 600 hp on pump gas. A 390 can be done to make 600 hp and live . I bleed Ford Blue and I have respect for other makes. But magazines hype was a load of crap. This is the design that won races in every kind of racing they went into. The 428CJ was a good street engine. No doubt about it! 427s have the same stroke as a 390. Building a screaming 400 ci 390 with a good cam and heads is easy now with the aftermarket stuff !
The Fairlane bounced at the start , I never had that problem, probably because it carried the front wheels a little as it took off , I had a 4 speed , and over Time I had 289, 302, 351c, 460 auto , it was the big block that broke the front " frame" I loved that car but being it's a unibody and having a friend that wanted the car really bad. He knew the issues, I sold it
John Smith That engines not stock from Ford he put Chevy parts in it The driver wears diapers because the car goes too fast now he shits himself. Just too fast for A ford Driver
Tell me I am nuts, but the 66-67 Fairlane and Comets were the best looking Fords ever.
Don't forget the 64 Comet Caliente!
& 64 Fairlanes& Galaxes ,65 Comets...But your not nuts .
68' fastback Torino, 68' fastback mustang. Late 60's Ford muscle so brutal and badass.
Agree
I see how the '66-'67 Fairlane styling influenced '68 Road Runner
Love those double headlights and coke bottle quarters. Fairlanes are beautiful works of art.
DAMN, that's a ferocious sound!
When I was little, my dad drove a 428cj '69 fastback Torino GT. ❤️❤️❤️
My friend's cousin has a 66 Fairlane 500 w/ the 427 he bought back in the late 70's for $350. He still has it, bone stock w/ about 78K on the clock & near-mint. I begged him to sell it to me back in the 80's. He refused. Smart guy. Still one of my all-time favorites.
Yes he is a smart guy to hang onto that. I sold a Six Pack Super Bee for $600 back in the 80's, now I just for that car.
The 427 is actually a hotter engine than the 428.
During the 70’s gas crisis. You couldn’t give muscle cars away.

I'm a mopar man but I've always had a little love for a 67 Ford fairlane. Especially a green one
That was a good old fashioned street launch!!!! It put a great big smile on my face!!😊
Man, I loved these cars - couldn’t afford one. Still can’t
I had a 67 Ford Fairlane with a 289. Same exact color as this one. It was a great car.
Man I got a 67 Fairlane to 289 in it but red
I remember going with my dad when we bought a new 67 Fairlane wagon. Light blue with the wood on the sides. We kids would put the back seat down and have a ton of room in the back. That was before seatbelt laws of course.

Would of been nice if you'd of shown the whole race!
I got ride in a 67 Fairlane GTA with a 428. That thing was sick!

Whatchoo talkin bout Willis ? A 67 Fairlane in Indy ?
Great camerawork.
There isn't anything abnormal about liking a classic Ford. Growing up, my parents had plenty of them. Like what u like.
One of favorite of all times ! Rocket ! Fun to Drive ! 😊
That tramped hard those 428s are great
John Smith-they are drop dead beautiful!!
Sounds great !
Nice finish shot....
Love the name of your channel ;)
I always love the 427/68 and 7 mustang fastback

@@notme810 actually, 427 was an engine option for '67-'68 Mustangs. Quite pricey, though.
One of the best always wanted one . A TRUE HOT ROD .
Best looking car by far
Had a 67 xl 302 4spd great car didn't handle the cornors that good. Ol heavy metal
As much as he baked those slicks, I would say he needs a wider slick the way he spun at the light LOL
70s Tunes, driver "granny shifted" as well.
Nope, a little less tire pressure to hook 'er up
Who won?
query: How do cars with a clutch do a brake torque burnout to heat up the tires?
Gas and break with the right foot.
A line lock, basically you lock the front brakes , I owned a 67 and raced it. It's about setup you saw the car bucking ,yeah that's not good
1967, I bought a new Candy Apple pearl Ford Fairlane GT 427 car that TASCA Ford built in-house. I still have it today and it's still in pristine showroom condition.
How much
@@user-sn3ut7mv7e It's not for sale.
Had two 390 gt and 289 loved them both but big block crush them on a street first on race day FORD
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe ..
Surely there must be some of these in barns somewhere. Visitors go out and find Yours.
I guess you had to be there.
Love my big block Fairlanes. But that one needs the rear suspension tightened up. That ass end was bouncing like a kid on a trampoline.
You have great eyes
lol the shocks
Whats this thing in the way,
I think I seen rocks, rock with sharp edges. But after the tower.
Oh Hell Yes!!

Nothing personal but you should really get someone who has at least a reasonable amount of camera experience - Yikes!
Why so jacked up?
WE HAVE A STROKER fe in our fairlane
It’s ok to shift while doing a burnout
Sorry Charlie. This is a 1966 Fairlane. It did not come with a 427 or 428. The 1967 model had the option with the 427 and it also had a hood scoop.
there were 66 Fairlanes that came with 427's. but only a handful

Get those FEs breathing with good parts and they will run good
And Caliente.

This poor video needed some help...
Well that sucked didn't see the whole race.😡
crummy video
Bad to the bone
Boat owners use those Engines for boating Anchors
The bad thing about Ford was that they did not make a lot of those hot engines. 427 Ford, Rare. 427 Chevy, lots of them made.
smith Ford stands for found on Road dead. Or fix or repair daily or find other ride dummy. Fords are junk
Yeah, Fords are junk. Tell that to this guy in this hot ass Fairlane. I am usually a Mopar guy, but I can respect the hell out of this Ford.
