I was happy to see that there are still Drag Racers out there that carry on the tradition that was so popular back in the 1960s. It takes a lot of money, time and mechanical skills to put one of these Hot Rods together and you have to have a driver that is just as good behind the wheel.

Hey Don't poke the bear Great to hear you like,anything 1967 That would be....ME😉🙂 But yes these 66- 67 Fairlanes are beautiful intermediate size vehicles. Clean flowing lines. And yes, 67 was the 1st peak yr of muscle cars then it apexed def in 1970 and all over within 2 yrs.

My love of the 66/67 Fairlanes goes way back to another Jim, Jim Waldo. He used to bring his white 66/67 Fairlane (not sure of the year) running SS/E sponsored by C Ed Flandro Ford to Bonneville Dragstrip in SLC, Utah. Using the clutch pedal back in the day used to be an art. Jim could work it as good as anyone. It's too bad that nowadays, most cars are running autos. I wish they had a FE reunion out west. I would love to go to one of these before all of the legends are gone.

Always loved the lines of these Fairlane 2drs. Always LOVED the color of the blue car....it was kind of a metallic turquoise as I recall. Never saw that many with that color. Anybody know what Ford called that color? Thanks!

Fairlane GTs & GTAs, like their Merc Comet counterparts, were proverbial sleds in-the-day. But their styling design always had it goin' on! I'm no Ford-lover by any stretch of the imagination but these are horses of a different color! Either 1 would be fine in my garage. Very much appreciate the high quality focus & sound!

Man Grant that FE of your spools instantly. Just wicked throttle response. What is even more impressive is the small block running the numbers of your FE. and only giving up about 100 ci. Quite honestly he may go even faster if he ran a Liberty 5 spd instead of the Lenco. But big props to Robert for the video for sure Go big Blue oval
