On "My Car Story" we're in the West Suburbs of Chicago IL on 11-20-20.
We're looking at a 1966 Ford Fairlane 500XL Convertible in Vintage Burgundy Paint. The car comes with the factory 289 CI engine.
The car's Owner is Dennis Roxworthy. Dennis’s had this car since 2012. He shares he’s the 3rd Owner and this car has only 708 original miles on it.
ENJOY! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Unbelievable!
Just when you think you seen it all...
This!
Listen to those tailpipes.
You’re killing me Lou!
I want it!
Hi Kelly "Just when you think you seen it all..." LOVE YOUR COMMENT :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
I think all of us subscribers to Lou's channel would be bidding on this car if we had the means, and it was for sale! Hearing that 289 Windsor through the factory pipes takes me back!
Insane.. . This car belongs in a museum.
Hi Tim, Happy to receive an "Insane" from you :-) Lou
Wow Lou I just gave no words here I mean this is a outstanding piece of automotive history. I was just 8 years old when this car was produced. Man that Dennis has some outstanding and unique pieces of automotive history. There is just no way to find another car in this no mileage condition and being brand new yet. That had to be just a awesome time in the ride along. I bet it still smelled new yet. Dennis it is amazing to see your car collection and you never know what is next when it comes to seeing your cars. This car sure was sporty looking and I loved the color of the car too. I just cannot figure how people could give this car a thumbs down. Lou it is just amazing and thanks so much for sharing this!
Hi Steve, "I just gave no words here I mean this is a outstanding piece of automotive history" High praise :-) Good time in the ride along, and happy yo share it with you. Lou
Like being in a time machine, unbelievable!
Hi Gary, Happy to share this "time machine" with you :-) Lou
Even the exhaust manifolds have almost no rust on them!! What a time capsule!
You're right :-)
Even if someone doesnt like this particular care - they would have to be in awe of it because its all as it was from the factory. That in itself is super impressive! I like it myself, but just sayin'. Three Thumbs Up for this piece of mobile history! Thanx again, Lou! Ya did it again - bringing us a diamond!
Hi ImTheDaveman, "Ya did it again - bringing us a diamond!" High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Truly breath-taking! It's amazing it's survived all these years without even the slightest transport mishap. Actually owning an automobile like this is quite a burden. The second owner found that out. Even on that short drive, one rock on the windshield or something from a tree hitting the top or hood would leave the owner in tears. It's good Dennis isn't afraid to drive it a bit. Many would drain all the fluids and just roll it in and out of tailors.
Hi Joseph, High praise :-) Happy to share this one with you, Lou
Had a 66 Fairlane hardtop in 68. Sold it in 69 when I went into the Navy. 708 miles is one of a kind. Thanks Lou.

Hi soyounoat, I was so happy when Dennis shared we can take it for a ride to share with you the Viewer...it was quite the joy filled moment, and I'm happy we can share it. You're welcome, Lou
That was quite a treat seeing a factory original 66 Fairlane!!
Hi Steel Assault, Happy to share this "treat" with you :-) Lou
Great to see what the factory paint jobs were like back then compared to the custom jobs on the restored cars. Thanks Lou...
Hi BartRicky, Happy to share this car with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
OH MAN was that ever special! Like a lot my contemporaries who grew up in the 60's I was wistful and slack jawed watching this video. I don't think I blinked once! Best video yet Lou. Cheers.

@@loucostabile :Wow,well done! Its 1966 all over again! What an absolute gem of an original survivor. I never thought I'd ever see a car like this. Ah the good old days. Lou those were the days when an American car was something gr8. Makes you wonder what happened to good old American ingenuity, when Detroit was king and aids meant assistance. Have a gr8 God bless day Lou and owner.
Outstanding surviving original Lou,and Dennis will keep it that way for sure!

Big fan of Fairlanes and '66 probably my favorite. This one is incredible, and mint condition. Thanks Lou and Dennis!
HI Bruce H., Happy to read a favorite of your :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
For a car that is as old as myself to have such extremely low original miles on it is just incredible. I love it ! 🥰
Hi Andrew, Happy to read you "love it !" :-) Lou
Amazing! All original, all the way down to the air filter, too. Mr. Roxworthy continues to impress with his collection! Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read "Amazing!" :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou
708 miles, I drive more than that sometimes in a week🤔
Hi Andy, You're right :-) Lou
I just did that and then some in a day- from OK to GA.
This is like time travel. Thank you Lou.
You're right motorTranz, it's like going right back to 1966. My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
That is amazing for sure!! I wonder why the original owner thought it would be collectable? The 66 Fairlane's were thought to be beautiful when they came out. Especially when compared to the 65's. But few thought they would be collector items. Anyway, rhetorical question, but it is sure collectable now!!
Hi JWelchon, Happy to read "That is amazing for sure!!" :-) You're right, it's collectable now, Lou
Quite thrilling to think that those plastic seat covers still haven't been removed since '66!
H Tibb91, Agreed. When Dennis shared he'd drive it for the Viewers on the Channel, I was pretty excited :-) Happy to share this car with you, Lou
Hello Dennis, my old boss has a 67 fairlane xl500 convertible, 390 2 bbl - 4spd- power steering- dual exhaust , it's been fully restored to original , about 20yrs ago , still timeless beauty
Hello John, Happy to read this car reminds you of your Boss's car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What a rare find! I remember when these were new. They were radically different from my Dad's boxy 64 Fairlane, but after a while they "grow on you!". Thanks Lou for bringing us such rare and unusual cars from America's past!
Hi gojoe283, Happy to read you appreciate the rarity of this find, and glad to read it brings back memories too :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Congratulations to Dennis for this unique car. What a fine job, Lou, you took the ball out of the stadium. Fantastic !
Hi Felipe, Happy to share this "Home Run" car with you :-) Lou
Lou, I'm 63 years old, and I just bought my first Ford today! I've always had a superstition about that brand, perhaps because of my Uncle. It's good to see another edition of yours about another great car from this company. I think it will be okay!
Hi Jed, Congratulations! Hope you have a wonderful experience, Lou
Wow Lou!! Just incredible!! A museum piece. I was 6 years old when this car came out. Our similar Australian Fairlanes were 4 door only. Cheers Tiger.
Hi Tiger, High praise :-) Cheers, Lou
And I'm thinking, "why does this 289 sound like a leaf blower?" Turns the corner.. Hi Lou!
Hi Andrew, There might be a leaf blower because the leaves are falling in IL :-) Lou
Absolutely in credible..amazing, only 709mi on a 66 Fairlane..what a gem..Dennis is a lucky man! Thnx Lou! Keep em comin!
Hi David, Happy to share this "gem" with you :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
There it is!
:-)
Thanks Lou and Dennis. Lou, as you might have noticed today, I've been catching up on your videos that I've missed.
Dennis sure has a wonderful car here, and to think of that low mileage. I've owned about one-hundred and twenty cars in my life. I love cars and I've always wanted to try out as many as I could. Most of my cars were crashers. But when I think back on those I've owned, my 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 coupe always comes to mind and was probably my favorite. It had the same powertrain as Dennis' car here. And probably the thing I like best about mine was that 289 with the cruise-o-matic trans. The 289 was velvety smooth, they had good pick-up and pairing it with the cruise-o-matic was a combination satisfying to just about everyone. Another thing was how much I enjoyed the sound of the factory exhaust system. It was a genuine Ford sound true of the 289 cars in the 1960's. Unfortunately, Dennis' car having a the hole in the muffler wasn't making the sound I'm talking about, no insult meant. I just wanted people to know that the sound wasn't authentically representative.
Hi discerningmind, Happy to read you're catching up on the videos :-) You've had A LOT of cars! I think you're on the right TH-cam Channel. Lou
This is spectacular , that's how you go back in time , the car looks like it was stole from the past ,can't describe how awesome it could feel to own a car like that ...

Oh WOW most incredible find ever what a Time Capsule Denise and Lou you so made my day the original owner is right this car is worth a lot of money now. Thank you so very much.
708 miles time to trade it in
Both of you guys so rock !
Hi Paul R, Happy to sharing this "Oh WOW most incredible find ever" with you :-) My pleasure sharing this one, and you're welcome, Lou
As soon as I saw this Fairlane arriving and I saw the wet asphalt, before we even knew the low mileage I thought...oh no, this is being driven on wet roads. This car is a gem and I hope Dennis lives close by so his car remains pristine underneath.
The prevalence of Japanese cars from the early 70's which had far better quality control and paint runs became a thing of the past. Amazing to be awarded judging points because it had a paint run from the factory.
This is a beautiful piece of mid 60's auto history and it goes to what you do Lou as a creator of a classic car archive. In Australia where I am, the Fairlane was only available as a Custom or the 'upmarket' 500. No XL's over here!
Australia in the mid 60's only had an extremely limited range of models from the US 'Big Three' before the Japanese car invasion really got going and Fairlane was always the upper class Ford and if you had a Fairlane, you had really made it to your station in life. What an excellent example of probably the best '66 Fairlane in the US.
Hi Mike, Happy to share this "beautiful piece of mid 60's auto history" with you :-) Glad to share this car with you, Lou
Wow that averages out to what about 12 feet a year thats amazing restraint.
Hi derwood 454, Thank you for sharing that, Lou
All I’d like to add is Dennis, the cars owner, is one generous soul, taking us all for a ride in his 704 (now 708) Ford. Think I’m kidding? Brother bought a 69 GTO in the late 80’s and spent 2 years making it perfect. A 1976 Nova ran the stop sign slamming into his fender. That’s why cars like this shouldn’t be on the streets. Thx Lou!
HI Dave, Sorry to read what happened to your Brothers car :-( My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
Wow wow wow amazing car Thank you lou 👍😍
Wow x 3 = Winner :-) You're welcome 41.
I hope Lou truly appreciates getting a 4 mile ride in this incredible treasure. They just advanced the odometer a HUGE amount considering how few actual miles it has.
Look at it this way... If the car would have had 50,000 miles on it, Lou would have gotten a 280 mile ride in comparison.
The owner is a VERY generous man.
Hi S Android, I appreciate it, however the video is for you to enjoy. So please subscribe, watch the commercials (the ones you can, as that is how I get paid) and after you shared I rode comparably 280 miles, I feel I need to get out and stretch :-) Lou
Great videos. These will become time capsule like the cars themselves.
If there was a heart button I would click it. What a fabulous car. A far cry from my friend's in high school that got cut up and a 429 transplanted. ;) I thought the Coronet survivor was a treat. This is better in my opinion. And what a treat it must have been to ride in it even if for only four miles. I'm so glad there are people out there that have the self control to preserve these irreplacable beauties. I do not have that same self control. I would most likely want to drive them as much as possible. Thanks for sharing another great piece from Dennis' collection.
Hi Russell, "If there was a heart button I would click it." High praise :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
❤
Another GEM, another favorite of mine, '66 Fairlane, SPECTACULAR car! WOW! Such a VALUABLE piece of investment. Everything is Original. BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN engine hub. Love this car.
Hi Vern, Happy to read you enjoy this "GEM" :-) Everything original, Lou
Simply amazing! From such a different (and I would say better) time. I love the trunk of treats. Thanks for the great trip back in time, Lou - a great video as always.
Hi Roy, Happy to share this "time traveler" with you :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, and you're welcome, Lou
Amazing how similar were the appearances of the Fairlane and Galaxie. And when you look at it from the side, you can tell that the “midsize” of ‘66 would easily be considered full size today. What an absolute diamond of a car. 👍
Happy to read you enjoy this "absolute diamond" :-) Lou
I quit driving my Mustang except for a few very local car shows when it turned over 12K miles! Five years later it still only has 12,500 miles. However only 708 miles on this Fairlane that is amazing! It takes a lot of self control to not drive your prize possession at least a little bit!
Hi kickit59, I'm glad I had my camera for this car, because you have to see it to believe it :-) Glad to read you're a great Care Taker for your Mustang, Lou
X L ent!!! A real time machine.

My favorite color in 1966. My Mustang was that color. My Fairlane XL Conv. was light blue with blue interior but very worn when I got it and I enjoyed it for one summer before selling it. Great car!
Hi Bill, Happy to read you enjoy the color of this car & your Fairlane too :-) Thank you for sharing, Lou
I’ve been waiting all day for this and you did not disappoint. What a great find Lou! Thanks!

Great Trunk Treats too
Absolutely wonderful time capsule, like to hear more about the original story, how did the original owner have the insight to save her..... Agreed finest video I have every viewed.....
Hi Lance, "Agreed finest video I have every viewed....." Drop the mic.... :-) High praise, Lou
All I can say is “wow”. If I hadn’t seen it I wouldn’t have believed it. The amazing part is that the original owner bought the “right” car. I have never seen anything like this, but usually it’s a four door with a six cylinder engine.
Hi Dave, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
That is wonderful! They are ment to be driven but this is a piece of art. 💖
Hi Robert, "That is wonderful!" High praise :-) Lou
Great car story Lou. This is like a few years back where there was a Apache pick up that remained unsold from the dealership in Nebraska. It had less than 20 miles
Hi Vincent, Happy to read you enjoy this story :-) Cool story on the pickup too. Thank you for viewing & sharing, Lou
unreal Lou its nice to know that there is still cars like this out there im gonna keep looking for one day i will find one rock on ford
Hi George, I agree, this one is "unreal" :-) Lou
… This one is a beauty. I love that 289. It is so cool. 704 original miles that’s crazy.
I was just going to Passthrough to leave you a thumbs up… But decided to watch this great car. I didn’t think it was going to be as cool as it is. See you on your next one. I won’t forget the thumbs up.👍
Hi John, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to read you enjoy this episode, Lou
Hi, Lou! Hmm...only 708 miles...So...obviously it's never been to my neck of the woods! Not very much wind in the hair, either! LOL! Well, thanks again to you and Dennis for bringing us along for another awesome ride, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
Hi iswc27, Happy to share this car with you :-) Restful Thanksgiving, and hoping yours was restful too, Lou
Love to see the low mile originals and this one is exceptional. Note: I believe the brochures back then featured hand drawn artwork, not photographs.
Hi Jim, Happy to share this rarely seen car with you. Thanks for the tip on the artwork too, Lou
Hey Lou, amazing and exceptional car. I was seen many very low mileage original cars but none to this level. I would say that this most likely has been inside a heated garage its entire life, thus the condition of the underhood, stainless, interior, paint ect. Thanks to Dennis for sharing. BTW those tires are SILVERTOWNS.
Hi Skinner Hound, "amazing and exceptional car" Happy to share this car with you :-) My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome, Lou

Hi Carlton, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Thank you for the kind words, and my pleasure sharing with you, Lou
It's so interesting & although a Fairlane convertible is a nice car, imagine if it was a 1966 Mustang K code fastback with those low miles preserved like that ? It would be worth like $ a million
Hi Alan Down South, Happy to read your thoughts on this car :-) Lou
Great color and car!
Hi Brock, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
Thanks for showing this car. I actually had a 1967 Fairlane convertible for a while. I wish I had it today.
Hi Donald Donald, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile Thanks Lou. I actually pulled out the 289 engine and transmission in my Fairlane and put in a big block 351cleveland engine and C6 transmission. Believe it or not everything fit in perfectly with no altercations whatsoever.
Talk about having twice as much power as before with the 289 engine , I know the 289 engine was just not enough to power this car properly. But I haven't seen a convertible Fairlane in decades now.
Amazing ‘66 Fairlane 500XL convertible in remarkable new condition. Reminds me of a hardtop GTA 390 one of our neighbors owned back then. The original tires are actually BF Goodrich Silvertown (not “Silverstones”).

Woww! Last time I saw a 1966 ragtop Fairlane500XL was in 1973 when I was a kid... One of my father's friend's car, and that one was nowhere near stock like this one is! That one was that deep aqua blue (like the 66 T-Bird was), with posi, ladder bars, jacked up high in the back, the 289 heavily modified, originally from a Mustang (I think the 4 speed as well), Cragar S/S mags... A convertible monster!

Awesome video Lou, I had a family member with one in yellow and black, may have mentioned it in a previous video 🙃,one thing I remember about his, the day he stopped by to show it off,,I noticed as he stopped in the driveway the brake lights were not working 😕, I mentioned it to him and he said "it's brand new "they work and after a further look he said, dang already!!! Ended up being the switch and it had a problem with the brake lights all the time 🤪crazy to see another not working with such low mileage, thanks for sharing and as always you know "Howdy from Texas "!!
Hi Greg from TX, Hmmm, must be a common problem with the brake lights not working well. Wonder if it's still under warranty based on the mileage :-) Lou
@@loucostabile You would surely think so 🤔, have a great weekend Lou 👍!!
Holy cow Lou ! That car is 54 yrs old ! With 708 miles . All 100% original down to the floor mats ! Like it was made and ordered yesterday! Unbelievable
Hi Michael, Happy to receive a "Holy cow" from you :-) My pleasure sharing this one with you, Lou
The preservation of these low mileage cars are so important to the history of the automobile. They also give restorers a reference to see how the cars came from the factory. It really boggles the mind to think how a car 54 years old could have 708 miles on it. Lou, do you feel guilty putting 4 miles on it during your ride? Thx again Lou!
Hi Brady Dog, Happy to read you see the historical value of this car. I felt great and honored to be able to ride and put a few miles on this one to share with you, Lou
A fantastic Ford and how rare? Looks beautiful with the dark red contrasted with the white convertable top. A 390 would have been nice but a 1966 289 has plenty of power and get nice gas mileage as well. I wish I had a 66 Fairlane 500XL in my garage, dream on.

@@ericbryant5069 a friend during high school had that exact Fairlane you describe red/black 390 (circa 74-76) I believe the front end was lifted an inch or 2 that gave it the perfect aggressive stance, it was always kept clean in mint cond.
@@danvannuys6096 ... sounds like a popular combination... interior and exterior. RED is my favourite colour, that's why I bought it. Well, one of the reasons🚘❤😊
