- Deep dive into Michael Tagg's fantastic big-block, 4-speed 1967 Fairlane that runs 9s. Ultimate sleeper look with one of the coolest engine bays we've seen. Perfectly prepared, bench seat, old-school vibe with huge naturally aspirated power.

• 1967 Fairlane With 428...
All aluminum FE with a stick in a beautifully prepared and meticulously maintained Fairlane. Absolutely killer combination. Thanks to Mike for building such a great car and Evan for bringing it to us.
You’re welcome Paul.
Pure badass bar None.☝️👍🤔👍💪💪💪💪💪🆒😎😎🎯😆😁☹️💪✌️
exactly what dad raced, and drove home... cept it had a 13 bolt detroit locker rear end and the only thing you could see is the pot in the rear end.. it was all rubber... low 10s car
Awesome! Makes me want a FE!
Absolutely stunning car. Built, driven, and loved in the old school way, with plenty to give the competition. It just doesn't get any better than this.
And can we please just take a moment and appreciate that this is NOT another LS swap?! 🤣
Only fools do an LS swap to a Ford
Exactly
@@ricktotz4078 or worse jz swap fuckos
@@ricktotz4078 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree no junkolet stuff .
What a great car, your coverage is excellent 👍.
Thank you from all the old Ford boys...
Fuckin a man
Sweet ride! I have a 66 Comet Caliente with a 351w swap, C6 and a built 9 inch. I've owned it since I was 18 and I'm 40 now. I love the old Ford's and Merc's.
Great I had a 65 Caliente with a 351 Windsor and a FMX automatic 2dr hrdtop
427 2 door post car!!!! super, super rare. the FE series motors are the most beautiful motors to come out of my home town, Detroit. what a super nice car man, love that gree metallic. my dad had A 66 fairlane, 427 toploader 4 speed, he used to race at Detroit dragway. he even beat Huston Martin (RIP) (Harold Martin's dad) in a trophy class once. it was a raggedy POS looking car but that 427 was a screamer.
I could listen to that BB 427 all day, those T bolts and fairlane left the line so nice and straight. The camaro in the other lane lost before they did their burnout.
Another great car, love this channel! Ford Forever!
what a beauty!!
Nothing sounds like an FE.
Had a few in my life including a 428 CJ
Fords will run fantastic when prepared properly i.e. Bob Glidden this man has done a good job also
A 67 car with a better 66 steering wheel, super super cool. Also, the radio-delete dash is one of my all-time favorite things. Awesome vid Evan and just an absolutely bad-ass car!
Ditto on both, the padded 67 horn was rather ugly to me, and the radio-delete dash a rarity. Wish I had another one in any version as these 66 and 67 Fairlanes are my all-time favorite cars.
What originally held these back was tires; the Fairlane's stock rear wheel-wells are narrow and the unibody construction makes changes there tougher in the classes which allow that. When rubber technology found a way to make the tires stick these Fairlanes came into their own spanking almost all the other muscle cars soundly; they're a lot lighter than they look. The Fairlanes were common but the 427 versions are scarce and those had some unique chassis changes and specific parts specs so know what you're doing if you're looking for an original as there are fakes out there.
Oh man , What a beauty !!!!!
Beautiful Car ,love the FE engines.
OMFG, that slow-motion launch!!! Those sidewalls wrinkling!! THE WHEEL-LIP WAS 1-2 INCHES FROM THE TRACK SURFACE ON THE HIT!!! That was f'ing sick! Looked like a little wheel-hop or shake later in the tire-spin, especially on the passenger side, though.
One of my friends had a dark blue '66-'67 two door sedan like that, but it was a 289. He had some HiPo heads and an intake and Holley 4 barrel on it, but it was always put away and I never heard it run.
Put it at 1/4 speed and watch it. Looks like the wheel touches the strip!
That could explain what looks like wheel hop. Tire pressure may be a little too low causing the tire to wad up.
@@edwardhasiak7961
Yeah you can see the wheels actually bounce off the pavement a little! That's the best view of how slicks function that I think I've ever seen.
@@HighlanderNorth1 I am sure he looses forward momentum because of it.
@@edwardhasiak7961
I didn't think of that, but I guess he needs to add slightly more air to the slicks. Obviously he's watched this video, so I'd bet he's already attempted to remedy the situation.
For a short while I owned a factory 427 dual 4's that was this body style. Couldn't be licensed for the street. Sure wish I could've kept it!
WOW JUST WOW I LOVE IT NICE HOTROD AND ALL FORD .❤❤
What a great and beatiful car, congratulations
that Fairlane is awesome!
Very sweet ride. Love the attention to detail and the passion the owner has for everything on it. Another awesome video Evan
Kool🤝Sleeper💪
Enjoy Every Moment of It,
Congratulations✌
Big block aluminum FORD, no there's nothing better than that.👍
Car is beyond awesome...nice job Evan
Thanks!
Great car ! I have a 67 Comet, same body style and color. Mine has natural patina, LOL, 408W with TKX not near as nice, but very fun.
Me too! I have a 66 Comet with a stock stroke 351w. I don't have the time or patience to keep mine anywhere near as clean as this guy's Fairlane, though.
The moment I heard him talk, I knew he was from Pennsylvania.👍 There was several Ford racers from Beaver Falls, New Castle, Zelienople, Aliquippa etc that were FE racers back in the day.
When i was in diesel school back in 87 the instructor had a 64 galaxie 500 with a 428 dual 4 he fired it up was screwing around in parking lot one day turned it up 2 blades sheered off the fan went thru the hood which caused an imbalance the water pump shaft broke and the rest of the fan went thru the radiator sad day
Very nice and it runs real well too. Beautifully done.
This Fairlane is STUNNING!!!
I love this car! But like everyone I gotta throw in my 2 cts. With the way this car PLANTS the tires, maybe an extra 1-3 lbs in the tires might keep the rim from bottoming out and maybe cutting a tube, and maybe it won't wad the tire up as much which would help with reaction time of the car winding up or shake the tires, which might drop the 60ft. Also maybe change the settings on rear shock dampening, but I bet you've experimented with this to no end.
My first car was a 66 fairlane, 390 428 Cobra Jet heads C6 370 years Wimbledon white with blue interior, daily driver. But my favorite is a 67 XL, had one was restoring, blue on blue, ex-wife was complaining about my toys, sold the car and my pristine 60 Ranchero 65 Fairlane and a few motorcycles, trying to keep her from 🤬 then she fooled around with the busboy on her job. I sure miss my 67 😪
I love that car… There’s so many details that you mentioned and it is so clean… I especially like how you guys got excited with the other cars coming by… Nice interview Evan
Thank you
Wow beautiful Fairlane !!
My dad had a 67 fairlane whith the 390 but lost it in the 1969 flood in Ohio he decited to save my mom instead of the car lol
Trick flow heads would wake it up.
Just a head change to the 175 Trick Flow or ProMaxx 200 Shocker with larger valves would probably add 80-100 hp.
Tough combo to beat!
Thank you for sharing. It brought back memories of a time in the 70s when an AHRA pure stock 427 car from Laredo, Texas showed us his taillights. The car was well prepared and ran near the record for his class.
Those slow-mo pics tell the story - massive power
That’s a classic time. Big blocks have been doing 10 s for years.
Love this car
What a badass car! Love the channel!
Thanks Robert.
He could flip the 2 and the 8 on the badge to make 482. But he probably wants to go with 427. It’s an awesome car!
It's perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, that dude did a VERY good job!!!
Totally cool car! Surprised that he is still getting a bit of spring wrap/wheel hop with the Cal-tracks. Curious if he is running a factor spring or an aftermarket leaf spring? Also surprised that he still has the factory shock towers on a car that he races. Anyone who has been around FE engines knows that accessing the spark plugs with the factory shock towers in place is beyond a pain in the butt.
i don'tknow i had a 67 cyclone with a 427 med riser plugs weren't but those 2 1/8 headers that cross over were my nightmare
I need to get my Chevelle to an NMCA race. This is one cool Ford! Great job.
Beautiful car!! Love the color! I had a 66 390 convertible that same color....miss it dearly!
Love it!
My dad also had a few different 66/67 fairlane’s gt’s and gta’s when I was growing up they are great cars. Nothing plant’s you in the seat like a good running big block. You can stroke a small block to make those cubic inches but they don’t make that torque down low in the RPM’s like a real big block does. Thanks Evan
What a incredible car, I'm a mopar guy but this is so cool.
Absolutely love that car!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Two frends from beaver falls PA. Had these . Loved them since high school. Jeff. H. And Tom. S.
Beautiful car,great video. Thanks for sharing this
Beautiful ride. Old school speed shifting for sure. You young guys need to take shifting lessons.....
Wowww..luv it..tough, straight, super quick.. unbelievable.. ✌️
Awesome. Body color steel wheels are bad ass.
Awesome car! and that 427 FE 4 speed is sweet!
Mike's car was absolutely the cleanest car on the track, not once was there a speck of dust on that car. And it sounds awesome.
Automatically ride! Automatically ride was built, driven and was build in old school and in a old school way!
The slo-mo was so awesome seeing the slicks wrinkle up.
When a car sounds that nice on computer speakers, AND his competitors can see *his*
"win light" even before they're at the 3/4 mark, that's when you know it's a sweet car.
Gold Rush was a 67 fairlane 427 that ran in the Midwest back in the day. She was a 10 second car as I recall
Bench seat, and built 427 and a Jericho?
Nope. Doesn’t get any better than that.
What a beautiful car.
Got my VOTE:)
I thought Ford used 457 gears and 456 were for Chevy's.
Rite body, rite engine, straight launching. Man you sure got together here!
Drop dead GORGEOUS Ford
Those old 427s were serious motors they won everything.
I'm not a Ford fan but this is beautiful, nice and clean, awesome job.
Wow a jamoke from Beaver Falls PA. Nice ol ‘67 especially with that Jerico!
Real cool car !!
Love that body style
Awesome Build!! Just the way it should be from the period wheels to the interior and engine.
A real Fast Fords Treat!!
Absolutely perfect. What a cool Fairlane, thanks for sharing.
I just found a 1966 Fairlane in a garage, former drag racer, rolling shell.
100% rust free. And I mean ZERO rust, ZERO dents. It's amazing.
9 inch with a Detroit locker, fuel cell, line lock, no cage, not cut up.
$4500.
It will be mine very soon.
He also has a Merc 410 all done up with aluminum heads and so forth.. another $5k for that..
Not so sure I need that engine. A 289 4bbl will suit me fine. I can't be trusted with power anyway.
Fuck no. BIG BLOCK IT. DROP A 429 OR 460 WITH A HI RISER , BIG RACE CAM AND DUAL CARBS, A HORSE AND TORQUE MONSTER.
These cars are light and will go fast with a SB till the aerodynamics come into play. Great for the 1/8th but will struggle a bit at the far end of the 1/4. I always thought a good 351 would be a perfect performance balance for this car but I've never seen one done that way. Congrats on the awesome find, you'll have a blast however you build it!
@@twolak1972
An 8k rpm 289 with a top loader tickles me if I were to ever build anything.
But as I said, I can not be trusted with power.
And I need my license.
@@oldtimerf7602 I always loved the 289. It has so much potential and you can get 450 hp.out of one very easy. Trouble is every cop would know about it real fast. Lol
I would be happy just for a stock one. Nice car.
Dreams are made of this right here 💯🤘😎
I pass one of these beauties everyday sitting at a lot, love the styling of these old Fairlane's
Yes sir Michael that’s a really nice Fairlane one of my favorite too, 🤩I have the 1969 Ford Torino Cobra 428SCJ, Automatice.,😃 Thanks for sharing . Thanks Evan
Michael you nailed terrific car
Outstanding! Love the looks, love the sound, miss them days!
Cool car !! Need some better shocks in the back.
Thanks for bringing this one to us, Evan! That is one sweet, badass Fairlane! I would love to cruise that, just once, on a Friday night! I smell trouble🤔😆
That's a high dollar big block there!
beautiful car great vid Evan
Would have loved to know Horse power range on the 480ci
Love it!!!! Love everything about it. How cooler can you get with the period correct look and it’s a stick. The wheel combo hits it off, and the Autolite puts it over the top. Lots of restored show cars don’t even put a period correct battery in. I’d change the badge to 482.
66-67 Fairlanes are a passion...
This Fairlane would give the old 427 Thunderbolt’s a good run. Love everything except…color, but to each his own. Thank you for the interview and cool video work. Any Thunderbolt’s coming?
Yes!
Thanks Evan for bringing these types of great cars to our attention. Like the cars and the work you do 👍
You’re welcome David.
Man, I love that 60s green!!!! Pea Soup Green!!
bad ass ford living the dream
Wow what a car, your interviews are great,so is the camera work, and the editing that slow motion shot of the launch was real cool.
Really Nice.
Super Nice!!
Love that car my older brother had a 66 mercury comet we put my hipo 302 from my 64 f100 into it and I gave him my leftover Caribbean turquoise paint to get it looking nice. Just love this body style 66s and 67s man thanks for sharing Evan
Fantastic!
One of the all time greats and one of my favorites!
One almost exactly like it was for sale in our local Greensheets when I went shopping for my first car.
It had the side oiler and a spare 428CJ to go with it. Light weight factory panels and all for $3,300.
That's 33 hundred NOT Thousand.
Since I was only 16 and only managed to scrape up $700 working summer jobs, I bought a beat up 65 fast back instead that had been used for circle track, which I still have today (project). My parents (thank god) did not just give you stuff, you had to earn it.

Beautiful car! One of my dream cars with my dream engine!
I'm a GM guy forever...but that is a beautiful ride!
I agree . Love the chevys but that Ford gets it done with style
Remember Elderbrock heads!
