Ford Fairlane 390 CID V8 1966
General description :
For sale in our Nashville showroom is a 1966 Ford Fairlane GTA. This 1966 Ford Fairlane for sale has a red paint job that is so slick that it looks like it is dripping off the car. Classic white convertible top on a bright red car that has red interior. This car is a classic example of the 1960’s. You just can not help but look this Fairlane Convertible for sale over from hood to tail lights and should the car be parked in the sunlight, you just might need the eclipse sunglasses you thought about throwing away. Crisp, Clean and tidy are words I don’t use very often but apply to this car in spades! No matter where you look like under the hood, under the car or even in the glove box this Fairlane is right. Speaking about under the hood, (my favorite part) lurks a 390 CID beast. This Ford Big Block is topped with An Edelbrock® 4-barrel carburetor that has the duty of dumping fuel down the neck of this torque monster. Mallory® ignition parts handle the spark and Hooker super comp. headers rush the exhaust gases away. I just walked into the showroom before this write up and barely touched the key and she roared to life. Once warm, a couple of stabs at the accelerator pedal produced instant RPMs and made me wonder how this car would leave the stop light down the road. It made me drool, just a little at the thought of lining up next to a Civic with the 100-horsepower muffler. Then I remembered, I really like my job so I shut her down and started this write up. So, if you are looking for a car that is ready for the next show with just a dust down, or one that is ready to teach teenagers what a real muscle car is, this car is for you! Options for this 1966 Convertible Fairlane for sale include: Power brakes, Front disc brakes, AM radio, Power convertible top, Rally wheels and radial tires.

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.
