Nothing like a well built, tuned and driver drag car. Doesn't matter what make or motor, but I always liked the FE Fairlanes. This one is classic, glad to see it raced, and raced well.

The '66-'67 Fairlane with the 427 is one of my all-time favorite musclecars! So very rare, too.

Wow! Badass Fairlane!!!

427ford was a hard motor to beat

I enjoy these short clips. As men age, our normal and youthful testosterone levels tend to wane. I come here every few hours to get them back to when I was 27.

Beautiful Car!! and fast!!

Ya gotta love those old Fords

just got a chance to check out your ride! nice!!!!!!

My all time favorite car. I have wanted one of these since the moment I set my eyes on one at a car show. I like the 66 and 67 after that they got ugly. A 67 with a 427 side oiler would be unreal and I would trade my left nut for one of those.

FE motor from ford was one the most potent big blocks in the 60's and 70's,only motor to give my 440-6 pac hell,besides a 455 OLDS,390-427-428 would make you respect FORD'S offering,mean torque,very strong lower ends in those FE MOTORS

I've wanted one of these since Mario won the 67 Daytona 500 in one

I had a chance to buy one of these, it was the 1974 NHRA champ here on the west coast. The guy wanted $10,000 with no motor, I wish I had bought that car. . . .It still had all the drag racing stickers and numbers on it.

Ok, watched 7 seconds, didn't need to see anymore. It was a 67' Ford with a 427, that's all I needed to hit the like button.

Nice John car is beautiful see you at the Reunion

My 1st car was a Red on Red 67' Fairlane GTA. The 390 HiPo was replaced at some time with a 428 SCJ. I traded that car for a 66 SS 396 Chevelle. My parents said I would regret it some day and they were right.

My first purchase after I win the lottery, just like this 427 fairlane.

We had one of 50 427 medium riser Fairlanes in 67. I still have a Fairlane with a Cleveland.

Sweet..67 one of my fav far as body style..

That was the baddest 427 on the block back in the day.

i drive a 72 olds cutlass 2nd car ive owned first was a 1967 ford fairlane and in my heart i miss that car very much too bad the damn torque boxes were rusted out and i dont have the know how to fix them never buy a car on ebay without looking at it in person. damn i miss that car

I think it looks tough. Sorta like "If you mess with me, I'm gonna fuck you up."

BCk in late 66 I was returning after 2 yesterday in Vietnam having saved 7p00 dollars. I wanted a new c a r. After driving various. Uncle cars I pretty well had decided on either a 427 4e5 hp Cirvette or a 427 R Code Fairlane . It was early September and no dealer had either car let alone a demo thst I could drive. I contacted a really nice military auto broker out of OKC who told me he'd special order either car equipped as I wanted it for about a thousand or so off sticker. I was going to go to college and whatever I got was going to be my daily driver for a few years. The Fairlane equipped pretty much the way I wanted it was a few hundred less than the Vette. Ne I ther car could be had with AC and the Fairlane couldn't be ordered with less than 3.89 gears. I finally settled on the Vette which I got for 4585 dollars with the tricarb engine M21 4 speed Transistorized ignition big brake package and side exhaust. I got power windows and the AM Fm radio. And a high speed 3.36 posi rear end with the supposed hyper red line tires on rally sport wheels. It was a good choice although I had to replace the entirely inadequate wheel and tires with wider American 5 spoke mags and Good year Blue Steak tires. That said the car would top out at 155 at redline and punch thru the quarter at 13.06 at 107mph. And it did eat plugs but oh well. And had a thirst for 103 octane Cgevron Cusom Supreme. Whic at the time was around 30.9 per gallon. I never ever saw a 66 or 67 427 Fairlane on the street and did not realize how rare they were.. About 15 years later I started getting interested in Ford engines when I bought a Pantera culminating when I built a very accurate t e Thunderbolt clone e and a 498 a ll alloy cammer motor for my open road race 1969 tube frame ASCAR Chassis Mustang. It dawned on me along the way that a 1967 R Code Fairlane would have been a great car but a bad daily driver. Which perhaps was why so few were sold. I recall the Ford dealers at the time were very reluctant to special order one. Currently one of my 2 daily drivers is a 64 Fzirlane 500 with a 5 speed Tremec and a 410 hp 331 Ford stroker based on a e02. It's a white coupe with a gold interior and a fair amount of suspension mods. Very pleasant car.

Awesome!

Good stuff!

Gotta love those Fairlanes. Kinda' like a miniature Galaxy. Amazing how many of those things were around back in the day. Now, all gone.

That was bitchin, the both nailed the light and hammered down, that was a great well matched race.

Thumbs up Liked.

My dream car

@NWpowerhouse85 - Stock bore & Stroke- Hi Rise Heads-Dove Intake- 14.5:1 Compression-Roller cam. Everything bullet proof from the crank back.

Sorry Charlie. This is a 1966 Fairlane. I can tell by the taillights. 1966 models did not come with a hood scoop and only came with a 390 or 289. 1967 models came with a 300 ci 6, a 289, 390 and the illusive 427 side oiler

There is a car in Vancouver Canada running a 351w stroked out to 408. It is a smokin sumbitch.

Where was this at? Looks like a track in Iowa we run at.

Fucking awesome watching something that old and bulky run in the 10's !!

I can’t believe my dad owned a thunderbolt. Sold to a guy who totaled it smh my favorite car of all time is no doubt the fairlane

@tysonstark National Trail - Columbus , Ohio - I've noticed alot of tracks have the same look

@wqvsaa nope, 66 doesnt have the chrome mid door. 66 has it at the bottom.

It's all in good fun.

It was 351 C, they can make alot of power for 1/3 the price.

But that wasn't a chevy, it was a Ford Fairmont.. And the doors weren't 'blown off', the race was pretty close..

fairmont looked good

@wqvsaa 67 grill, 67 trim, 67 tail lights...no mistaking it

That's why I love ford. The early 2000s Crown vic police interceptors (to my understanding) have the same 5.0 V8 from the Mustang. I'd personally love to own a turbocharged Crown Vic as a daily driven weekend racer.

now i wish i would have never gotten rid of mine

insanity... misunderstood!!! crown vics have been 4.6 cars since 94

0.002? nice reaction time

yup..its a 67 b/c the ass end is different than 66..and its also very wicked..

hey uhh, im 18 and im thinking about getting one of these cars. for a learning experence. does it take a lot of work to keep it up and is it a type of car i can drive to and from school with every day and rely on it. my school is only 6 minutes away from my house

this looks like a boat but I like it XD

427fe side oiler, all throttle no bottle...

FE power takes over half track.

Based on the ET these are far from stock but at least they look the part

67 with SOHC 427 Super Charged E85, should run well into the 12's

How much HP

@Bamchucknorris - NO TURBO'S..... Both cars all motor no power adders

And Kaase parts could replace those that commit suicide

how bout that Fairmont! Did it also have a side oiler 427? I seriously doubt it.

It's a 67 all right..... I used to own one. Now I look at pictures of it like an old girlfriend...... Never should have sold it.

It's a '67 500

:' )

1quick fox body

wow it blew away Chev Monte Carlo to weeds !

Jealous

@link9454 the 351 Cleveland stroker setup for 408 cu ins is a better engine..I ran 427's in the sixties..they had way too many problems..

427 what???

So what ever happened to Bleach Burnouts?

.... nobody... but nobody.... say's boy thats a cool tesla .... elec cars bite tho big root!

F irst O n R ace D ay

fairmont was not set up well.289 in that much lighter car woulda been different result......g5,manic mechanic

Imagine that Chevy fans, a Ford blew your doors off! Get over it! It happens a lot!

it is sooo ugley its B-E-A-utiful!!!!
