Stunning 1966 Ford Fairlane GT 4-Speed in Action

1966 ford fairlane gt 4-speed

While the Ford Fairlane never came close to the popularity of classic Mustangs, I know it is favorite to many muscle car enthusiasts and today we have a fascinating example. This Red 1966 Ford Fairlane GT impress with its stunning appearance, but the powertrain of this gem is even more exciting.

The factory 390 engine which was the only option for the 1966 Fairlane GT has been swapped with bigger 428 V8 Ford powerplant dressed with aluminum heads, Comp cam, Eagle rods, headers etc. and paired with a Top Loader 4-speed transmission and 3.50 geared Ford 9-inch rear.
