My brother died in the same exact car(year,make,and model) and it also had some head work done. It was canary yellow. My mom would get so mad at me because I would walk home to go see Mr. Helms.(junkyard owner) so I could see the car. 31 years ago in July. To this day she doesn't understand how much Mr. Helms helped a 8yo kid understand the lost.
Brothers memories are some of the best. I remember all of my brothers cool cars they had in 60's, 70's. 4 older brothers, one of my favorite one's is my Brother Sal & Pete in late 60's, they were in their 20's I was probably 9 or 10, they had stopped by and daring to race on road in front of our house, Sal had a 55 chevy Canary yellow, and Pete a Black 57 chevy, 4 sp 283 cu. My mom didn't want them to, but they did for fun, the 57' won. Great memories. 👍🇺🇸
35 years ago I was restoring a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1. I went to a garage sale and bought an original Philco AM/FM 8-Track stereo for a buck! It completed the restoration of the Mach 1.
I was a Buick else love you man but I still love all those hot rod Pontiac Ford Mustang Chevy Camaro and those Mopars I like the more I'll take them all baby from 60s and 70s I love those cars
I had a 66 fairlane. Easy to work on. I changed the rear end and transmission when I was 17 yrs old. Didn't have to put it on a computer to find out what was wrong with it. I wish I had known how crappy cars of the future would be. I would have kept it.
Yeah but now that we have those electronic control units people have made electronic controlled versions of those 60s engines perform orders of magnitude better. Google it. Our cars are rightly better just as yours was rightly better than a 1904 Napier.
Cars are actually much better today. Today, getting 100,000 miles on a set of plugs is not unheard-of. No points, condenser. Oil last much longer minus the carbon. Vehicles are far more safer in a collision. But, there's no heart, no style or class like the 60's. Anything 72 back, I'll take. Heck, I'll take an 87 Cutlass, Buick, 89 GN. The 90's had The Cyclone, Typhoon, Impala, Pontiacs.
I actually owned a 1967 Fairlane GT, 4 speed floor shift, convertible in 1973. Couldn't keep it though, as I was two thousand miles from home and had no way to get it there. Mid-dark green paint, matching interior with a white top. Beautiful. Alas. :-(
A 2nd owner (Since 1973) 1967 Ford Fairlane GT for $7k, you stole that car. Old man may have made a profit, but you got an original, unrestored condition (Barn Find) jem. I'd rate this deal as a Win-Win for both of you.
That's the way I love to find cool muscle cars, original & untouched. Don't matter if it's Ford, Chevy or Dodge/Plymouth, even foreign classics. So exciting.
I watch this show and Pawn Stars for the same reasons. Yeah I know its staged but the knowledge and history of all these products are real and fascinating. That's good enough for me.
Exactly, whether someone won or lost on the deal is irrelevant -- it's not our money, so who cares? Seeing all the different people, regional accents, rooms of stuff to search through, old stuff rarely seen anymore ... a lot of interest there.
They consider shipping costs and how long they may have to sit on a vehicle. Sometimes the labor involved isn’t worth the small margins. You can’t get ran over in negotiations, have to be willing to walk.
I like when frank tries to buy something and the the owner wants more money. So then frank tries to point out everything wrong with the object he’s trying to buy. It’s so funny.
@@Jamzkee84 James.....don't be obstreperous. Do you REALLY think that I would leave an old object of beauty to rust away? Never, I keep her around the house and she occasionally cooks a burger on the BBQ.
I had one of those when I was around 20 years old I wish I would have kept all the old classic cars that I had back in the day I could definitely buy a nice house with what they are worth today
They didn't even try to start it and the motor is no longer matching. Paint isn't either. That hood was yellow underneath. At the very least it's been replaced. Why? accident? They didn't look under it to see if anything was out of sorts I.E. collision. Rust issues and paint, the motor pull and paint. They'll have 10 to 12k in it anyway. 7k is all it was about worth.
it interests me that while the Fairlane and Falcon names didn't last too long in America, they lasted about 50 years in Australia. In fact, the Falcon was Ford's flagship car in Australia for decades
Two things, 7,500 for the car and the bike!?, that seemed like a very good deal. And second, any old car loses almost half it's original horsepower, no way has it still got the original amount.
Just an 'S' code VIN, title and drivetrain are worth twice that. Clone from there. I bought up all the 'S' I could find in the '80s and was getting 7 back then. Actually rarer not to be a Mustang...never found a Cougar w/ one.
I had a 66 XL500 289 automatic between buckets everything original awesome car wish I had it today that one they got is sweet if they were GT they were all big blocks
Let's not forget about some of the offensively ugly stuff Chrysler truned out back in the 60's. All a Javilen has to do is be seen in the company of a few of those old Mopar's.
It has to be. If someone shows up at my place with a video production crew, I'm going to want to know what's going on right off the bat. Not to mention the possibility of wasting time videoing a scene you may be unable to use due to lack of permission.
Yup ! I had a Maroon 67 GTA 4 speed dual exhaust !!! One more of the "ones that I LET get away" ......... If only we had known what they'd be worth .... Actually I've always wished I'd kept the Fairlane or my '68 GTO convertible. AWESOME reliable cars.
Dont matter how long this show will run, these guys will never get boring🤜🏻🤛🏻😎😎😎👍🏻
Frank was fired
@@wileecoyote5749 a real shame.

My condolences I'm sure this little short video of American pickers was bittersweet
Sorry to hear about your loss,,,,😒

I'm a big Chevy guy, but I love those Fairlanes.
It'll be a nice restore.
Same here
Especially 4 speed trans.
I was a Buick else love you man but I still love all those hot rod Pontiac Ford Mustang Chevy Camaro and those Mopars I like the more I'll take them all baby from 60s and 70s I love those cars
7500 was beyond a steal even with the bike
Not when you consider the ten or so grand he's going to have to invest in restoring the interior and exterior.
Mike-says I buy anything old" the old man - I'm not for sell lol
Mike didn't lose his cool in any capacity. The video title is a lie.
Stuff like that ruins alot of the you tube, bogus titles that are lies!!
r0bw00d didn’t lose his cool at all !!!
How was the lose his cool part ?
Yes.
The title is to get people to watch
"7g is the best I can do... I have to have it framed."
Can you wait a few minutes I know a guy
I had a 66 fairlane. Easy to work on. I changed the rear end and transmission when I was 17 yrs old. Didn't have to put it on a computer to find out what was wrong with it. I wish I had known how crappy cars of the future would be. I would have kept it.
Easy to work on unless you had to change the rear spark plugs or the starter on the 390.
Yeah but now that we have those electronic control units people have made electronic controlled versions of those 60s engines perform orders of magnitude better. Google it. Our cars are rightly better just as yours was rightly better than a 1904 Napier.

The Ford Fairlane always had nice lines wow!!!!
So he wouldn't pay 500 for the bike? What am i missing?
THE BIKE WAS A NICE PROJECT
Exactly!
Mike did a great job stuck to his limit I will always watch american pickers till the day I die

Original paint? The inside of the hood is yellow?
You're unsure about the color of the hood's inside? Wow.
agree....one look under the hood and see a different color tells me something up
Looks more like someone used spray can to cover the rust . Fades white paint
Rob Heinrichs 7000 for a car he didn’t even look under it
Inside the engine bay isnt yellow so i would say it is original color and the hoods from another car
Weird. That guy had his own camera crew when the guys approached the property.
All reality shows are set up and fake.
@@raceyro NO WAY??? You serious?
Kilt Xan 😂😂😂👍
lol..👍
Why did you have to say that, you're ruining the magic here buddy!...
RIP Frank❤
We have two different definitions of "Loses his cool"
That's a good deal for both parties!!! I love it
When they opened that door that car said, "PLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEASE! GET ME OUT OF HERE AND BACK ON THE ROAD!"
A 2nd owner (Since 1973) 1967 Ford Fairlane GT for $7k, you stole that car. Old man may have made a profit, but you got an original, unrestored condition (Barn Find) jem. I'd rate this deal as a Win-Win for both of you.
Every episode Mike invents a number of choice new phrases: "We're rolling large, freestylin', just waiting to find a place to rock up on."
I like it when he says Dani D what up lol
Thank you History Channel for posting these!
Hi Taco Stacks! Thanks for being a fan of #AmericanPickers! Subscribe so you never miss new American Pickers clips.
Taco stacks is everywhere
I remember these cars. Very popular with the young drivers. And the room to haul many friends. And no seatbelts. Those were the days my friend.
That's the way I love to find cool muscle cars, original & untouched. Don't matter if it's Ford, Chevy or Dodge/Plymouth, even foreign classics. So exciting.
The guys at the Pawn Shop would have offered him $200 😂
Including the motorcycle
The guys at the pawn shop would have been offering a realistic price at 200 car is a rat Fairlane ford was the bottom of the barrel model
4:28 seconds of video, it’s over, and I’m still waiting for him to lose his cool.
They Laughin' like they Scored on the Deal when it was the OWNER that Hammered DOWN by Scoring BIG Off of Them! LMA😂
That one dude looks like a young Otis Campbell. 😆😆
I HAVE FAIRLANE FEVER

@@Jamzkee84 What cost, put it in the back of the truck like they have done before.
L PM
Good find.
Another piece of American HX being restored and shipped off to some Saudi princes collection.

Frank is a insult to show
Muscle car fun
I had a 64 ford fairlane with the Posi traction rear end
i had a 68 Ford Torino, 289. ran it forever.
I thought Mike was gonna fight or something when he "loses his cool".
Yeah, that's why the title is clickbait...and a lie, but still..
Man, I wouldn't let those yahoos anywhere near anything I own.
Yeah you’re better off letting the items sit, rust out, and handing them down to your family so they can sell them for even cheaper.
@@Jamzkee84 James.....don't be obstreperous. Do you REALLY think that I would leave an old object of beauty to rust away? Never, I keep her around the house and she occasionally cooks a burger on the BBQ.
erepsekahs Good one.
Whattttttt!!! $500 for the bike......i dont get it unless it was a wreck......love that bike!!!
Nice l use to have the XL 500, 289 love the crome
I had one of those when I was around 20 years old I wish I would have kept all the old classic cars that I had back in the day I could definitely buy a nice house with what they are worth today
The 390 in these were ok, but the rare one was the 427...that is a rare car, especially with the two 4bbls
How did the cameraman film the van pulling up from the guys garage, if they just roll up on the property?
Did I see rust or bodywork on the rocker panels and rear fender? Wish we could see it once cleaned up.
drwho534 I think the red tape was covering the rust !!! 😄😄😄🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🍺🍺🍺
“Treats it like his baby” dust and rust .
As they blow past what looks like a cool two stroke Yammy scrambler type.
I wanted to hear it start.
It's fake
Smoking hot he said?...😂🤣😅...I don't think so...!
That car is easily worth twice what they paid in that condition.

Nothing against Robbie, but it just isn't American Pickers without Frank!! Like peanut butter and jelly or bacon and eggs!!
That is a sweet ride!!
Too bad Norm didn't realize what his old Fairlane would have brought. $7 grand is a steal on that car there!
"Original paint" ... color under hood says different
Them two should be locked up ripping old people off
it interests me that while the Fairlane and Falcon names didn't last too long in America, they lasted about 50 years in Australia. In fact, the Falcon was Ford's flagship car in Australia for decades
The Falcon was good enough for Max, it's the last of the V-8's.
@@richardsayers6171 Igg-zackly! :-)
Thanks,I own a 64 Falcon ragtop.
Don’t like fords but I love Galaxies and old ThunderBirds!❤️
Mike loses his cool ? When was he ever cool ?
I still remember my first car, a 1959 chevy, later in the 1970s my Dodge challenger 1970, four barrel...too bad i dont have those cars. (Great shows )
Whatever it is, it is done deal. Muscle car 1967. Luv muscle car. Original and strong car.
I'd rather have one of those over a Mustang. Love both cars, but those stacked headlights and the body style just look badazz.
Should’ve take both ! 7500!
I love this show and these guys, always, but does anyone else notice how “altered” drunk or high Frankie is in this ? He’s wrecked
They both are guided on what to say.
"frank drives a hard bargain...mike loses his cool"
i just knew mike was going to kick out those stained glass windows
He never lost controll
Two things, 7,500 for the car and the bike!?, that seemed like a very good deal. And second, any old car loses almost half it's original horsepower, no way has it still got the original amount.
Anybody notice he said he would take 7000 for the car first then Mike tried to throw the bike in then end up settling for original price 😆
why is it yellow underneath the hood?something ain’t right with that hood and they never asked about it
Unless the under hood came a different color that wasn't original paint.
It did look original, but the hood was white or yellow.
Mike is full of it withourt frank i dont watch i never thought mike was such a backstabbing hypocrite
Mike - your the real life Glenn Quagmire 👌
The stacked double headlights made that car
Free styling lol.
Freestylin'.
7gs is a steal on a rare find like that. But u also have to figure in restoration costs.
I would have loved to see it restored
It's for sale in their Nashville store for $20,000 ( firm). Just as it was when purchased.
they prolly spent 7 grand hauling and fixing it
Y O U S T O L E THAT CAR 😲😲😜🤪
Awesome
Just an 'S' code VIN, title and drivetrain are worth twice that. Clone from there. I bought up all the 'S' I could find in the '80s and was getting 7 back then. Actually rarer not to be a Mustang...never found a Cougar w/ one.
This is highway robbery
Not original paint the under hood is yellow .
Hood may not be original.
I had a 66 XL500 289 automatic between buckets everything original awesome car wish I had it today that one they got is sweet if they were GT they were all big blocks
They were looking for those muscle cars about 15 years ago for a movie in New Mexico
Sweet deal on that piece!
I thought they were ugly in the day and still feel the same about them. But hey some people like gremlins and javelins
Nobody I know likes Gremlins and Javelins, Pacers maybe !!
Let's not forget about some of the offensively ugly stuff Chrysler truned out back in the 60's. All a Javilen has to do is be seen in the company of a few of those old Mopar's.
y is under hood yellow original paint ????
How about starting it before buying?
That car was built back when fords were actually good cars
I've sold stuff to Mike, this is totally staged and prepped ahead of time.
Thomas63r2 thats what i was told
ya don't say.
It has to be. If someone shows up at my place with a video production crew, I'm going to want to know what's going on right off the bat. Not to mention the possibility of wasting time videoing a scene you may be unable to use due to lack of permission.
All of these shows are.
Exactly!
Fairlanes are awesome cars, like GTOs or Chevelles.
How staged was that?
you mean the entire show;-)
Very
The entire series!
I had a 67 Fairlane & Dang I miss it
Yup ! I had a Maroon 67 GTA 4 speed dual exhaust !!! One more of the "ones that I LET get away" ......... If only we had known what they'd be worth .... Actually I've always wished I'd kept the Fairlane or my '68 GTO convertible. AWESOME reliable cars.
Frank wants a mustache ride
Old guy seller: I made a good profit on this car.
Mecum Auctioneer: All done at 18,500 for the barn find Fairlane.
Franky boy we miss you
Original paint how come the under hood was yellow not blue
Original paint huh? Dark blue with white paint under hood?
