Details

This Fairlane is one of 57 Ford factory race cars produced in 1966. It is documented with two factory Build Sheets and original owner's manuals and several ET (elapsed time) race slips with a best time of 11.95 seconds. It has had three owners in 52 years and was featured in the April 2010 issue of Mustangs and Fords magazine. All 57 R-code 1966 Fairlanes were identically built with a 427ci side-oiler with race car package, which included a medium-riser with factory dual Holleys, 4-speed Toploader transmission, 9' 3.89 ratio posi-traction rear end, front disc brakes, transistor ignition, original lift-off hood, radio delete and finished in Wimbledon White with black interior. This 1966 Fairlane 427 R-code received a rotisserie restoration finished in 2010, and still retains most of its original sheet metal and original parts. Drivetrain original parts include the transmission, rear end, dual intake manifold, exhaust manifold, engine heads, dual carburetors (not on car but included), radiator, carburetor sealing plate to hood scoop (very rare part), transistor ignition and dual air cleaner assembly. It has its original valve covers (not on car but included). The original block was replaced by a correct 1972 427ci side-oiler block.
