Nice ride... I had a 67 Fairlane back in the day, when I got it was the body only...no motor/trans but we found a potent 351 Cleveland backed with a C6 to drop in and what a blast it was to drive. Miss the day's when you can pick up a car like this for grand or two...
Most of the cars in my HS parking lot sounded like this one. 1968 thru 1972 were the best time to own a car. It was either a VW Beatle, Corvair, a beater, or a hot number like this Fairlane. I really feel sorry for today's generation. They have computerized cars and turbocharged vehicles BUT they don't have the feel of raw power under them. No replacement for displacement. I'll take a 289 Hi Po or a 327, or a 340 , or 304 any day over the stuff on the streets today.
Had this same car when 17. ……bench seat 4 speed stock houndstooth fabric seats and very basic. A bit of a slug with the 289 but fun to drive with the manual trans. Drove from Vancouver to Yellowknife in it in 1977. Dark metallic green & it looked unassuming. Heater core failure the whole time so it was a very cool trip, but managed.
Thanks, great FORD style, ODDLY ONE MY FAVORITE : interestingly I found a good 1966 GALAXIE 500 XL/4 *speed/352,low miles*/ dual Exhausts/ Deluxe *INT/ deep *BURGANDY (* kind of like JAY LENOS, W/O 7 LITRE, disc Brakes) in 1967 :: at my Chrysler Dealer ;; A LITTLE TWEAKING,/ &/much better……
I have a 64 comet Caliente aluminum headed 306 sounds amost identical to this. Man i dont see how anyone has the heart to sell something like this my 64 comet an my 69 SS Chevelle will go to my daughter. I said something 1 time about selling the 64 an she said i will kill u daddy that was my childhood growing up an all the kids would tell her tour daddy has the baddest cars an he brings u to school in them. Man thats a good sounding good looking fairlane. I want 1 of those also an maybe 1 day i get my favorite car of all the 70 challenger RT are 70 cuda 4 speed hahahahaha

Gotta love a 289
Dad had a Beige 67 Fairlane 500, 289, shifter on the column, bench seat, two door pillarless coupe. . .Philco Radio with AM AND "FM" , , , ,

My '66 500XL had a 289 with the more common automatic. It would've been a blast to have the manual.
Beautiful car! Ah the goid old days
