Description

This 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 is a well-preserved muscle car that appears to be mostly in stock form. The base Zinc Yellow, also known as Springtime Yellow, gives off a bright, warm-weather vibe that makes you want to jump in and cruise for no reason at all. All the trim pieces, plus the chrome bumpers, glisten during the day and shine bright under the lights at night. The alloy wheels are an interesting touch for this muscle car; nonetheless, they stand out and look good. All around, this is a nice muscle car survivor that can be comfortably cruised just about anywhere.

The interior is sharp, featuring Buckskin Tan seating and door panels. The carpets fit nicely, as does the black dashboard. The steering wheel is custom, while the rest of the dashboard appears to be stock, minus the radio. The door jambs and what appear to be original door sills look very clean, and the back seats are in just as good condition as the front.

Under the hood sits a 289 cubic-inch V8 with an Edelbrock Z89 Performer Intake and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. The engine bay as a whole looks well-organized and as stock as can be.

Engine power is sent to a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission and converted back to a Ford 8-inch rear axle. The suspension consists of coil springs, shocks, and a sway bar up front, while the rear uses leaf springs with shocks. Braking is handled well with front and rear drum brakes, and traction comes from 225/55R16 front and rear tires. For turning engine noise into music, the Fairlane runs long tube headers, dual exhaust, and Golden Turbo mufflers.
