1966 Ford Fairlane 390 Big Block Top Loader 4 Speed Currie 3.70 Tractionlok on 2040-cars

Description

You are looking at a modified 1966 Ford Fairlane 2 door post sedan, equipped with a 390 big block, 4 speed Top Loader transmission, front disc brakes and Currie 3.70 Tractionlok rear end.  It was built well by a local owner who has decided to downsize. Below is a video collection of the automobile:

This vehicle started life as a 6 cylinder 3 speed but was built well. It was owned by the same family since new until it was sold to the current owner who built the car. We have personally driven this vehicle and it is a fun car to drive. Please scroll down and enjoy the 350+ photos. If you cannot view all the photos, please click here. 

Mechanically, it runs and drives well. There is a bit of power steering pump whine as you can hear, and a few things we might finish such as the seat covers. However, the hard work is done and it runs and drives as you would expect with this 400+ HP powerhouse under the hood. It steers / turns stops better than we expected. The gauges appear to work as do the headlights and other bulbs. The car also stops and shifts well. The vehicle is surprisingly smooth and comfortable at 45-55 MPH as well. The redline tires and standard wheels with the dog dish hubcaps are a nice addition.

Cosmetically, this is one of the nicer cosmetics we have encountered but not a show car. It would win a local show, but the paint is not a $5000 job. There is some surface rust in the trunk under the mat as shown. This appears to be from moisture but it does not appear to be through from what we could tell. This should be wire brushed and sealed. We were fairly happy when looking at the floorboards, shackles and other normal trouble spots as this is a pretty clean example.  Also note that the exterior panels and color appear to be original but have been patched. There is some surface rust and filler was used on parts of the body. Please see the photos to have a better gauge of vehicle condition. It does look as good in person as it does in the photos.

This vehicle is sold as-is. We cannot warranty any parts and as with any vintage vehicle, they are always a project in some way. Please note this before bidding if you are looking for a vehicle that will operate like a new vehicle. Collector cars are many times tempermental and reliability can be a factor on some. We also did not test each accessory or feature, and only drove the vehicle for a short distance.

Any of these should be trailered to their destination until the vehicle is checked over for safety (tires, etc). The title is free and clear, and we are also requiring a bill of sale be signed by the new owner stating this car is being purchased as-is.

It is a very straight original car as you can see in the photos. It gets a ton of attention and would make a great addition to your Ford, Mercury or classic car collection. 

Please call our store at (414) 727-0600 for additional information on this vehicle. Best of all, we are selling this beauty with NO RESERVE, but do reserve the right to end the auction early as it is for sale locally. Good luck in the auction.
