Ford Fairlane 419 V8 1966

General description : GREAT RESTO, BUILT 419 V8, 5 SP, COLD R134 AC, PWR 4 WHL DISC, SHOW QUALITY, A+

It's not hard to say that this 1966 Ford Fairlane GT tribute is better than an original. With amazing new paint, comfortable A/C interior, a performance-built V8 under the hood, and the upgraded 5-speed manual, it's the muscle machine that leaves you wanting for nothing.
You're looking at the face of Ford racing in the '60, and this coupe carries it perfectly. Highland Green is one of those great Ford performance colors (heck, the Bullitt Mustang was that hue!) And there has been a serious investment in a modern clearcoat and a professional hand applying it. The way this coupe pops in the sunlight really highlights how straight the body panels are and how crisp the creases remain today. Plus, there are details the let you know this is a real muscle machine, like the 17-inch ARE torque thrust wheels and the 390 callouts on the hood (it's a bit of an understatement, but more on that in a bit.) But it also is still a premium Fairlane at heart. So you get the hardtop coupe body with the bright wide re-chromed bumpers and the shining grille as long as the horizon.
The Fairlane's upscale mission is particularly evident inside with handsome stitching on the freshly restored interior. It makes for the perfect classic car atmosphere with the bucket seats, a center console, and lots of brightwork on the instrument panel. There's plenty of room in the back seat, and the spacious trunk will carry enough luggage to go coast-to-coast. The large horizontal speedometer is bright and clear, and to supplement it, a set of auxiliary dials watching voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature was fitted underneath. The steering wheel is a beautiful piece of performance art that just begs for a set of vintage driving gloves to be wrapped around its rim. We know that you won't be able to resist rolling down all the windows and showing off the hardtop profile, and so this one also comes with modern R134a air conditioning to keep you cool while looking cool.
While the interior and exterior show big money spent in restoration, your favorite investment is going to be under the hood. In fact, you might want to grab your sunglasses before showing this one off. There are so many polished component in this award-worthy engine bay that we dare you to find another piece that could be chromed. And once you look beyond the style, you're going to see the substance of a performance-built V8. This is a 351 bored out to 419 cubic-inches that's also been balanced and blueprinted as well as fortified with Probe Industries crank, rods, and pistons. More go-fast goodies include, Edelbrock heads, heavy duty push rods, Edelbrock Thunder series four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock hi-rise intake, and Hedman long tube headers that feed a new x-pipe dual exhaust. In fact, there are too many components list here, so call for all the details. Not only does the manual transmission give you full control over this V8 and its rumbling soundtrack, but also since this is upgraded to a Tremec five-speed with Centerforce clutch, you got an extra gear advantage over every other muscle machine. Grip is even superior to the other classics thanks to four-wheel disc brakes and modern ZR-rated tires. But as much as this seems like a beastly Ford, it also is quite thoughtful. For example, the aluminum radiator with electric fan is not only good for performance, but also it can also keep the motor cool even when you're in traffic with the A/C pumping.
With only about 400 miles on the total build you're looking at a classic that's beautiful, comfortable, and wickedly fast. This Fairlane GT tribute is exactly the car you would build if you had the time... and this one is turnkey ready today. So don't miss out, call now!!!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
