Thread: 1966 Fairlane finally about done

Tweet

Yeah, It’s a neat little car, and with the 351 it’s pretty fun to drive.

In the process of building it I had to come up with several odds and ends that were not available new. Fortunately the local wrecking yard had three 66s two were 4 doors and one of those was pretty well parted.

The third one hidden way deep in the yard is a 66 2dr hardtop. It’s pretty faded but it’s an original red car and although it’s a plain 500 with flat hood and bench seat it’s still has its factory 390. Believe me I looked the car over really really well, but unfortunately it was originally and east coast car and has major rust issues. To properly do it it would really need every panel plus the floors replaced. It’s too bad really otherwise it would already be here at my place. Oh well you can’t same em all.
