1967 Ford Fairlane GTA review from North America

I replaced to muffler system, tires, brakes, water pump, belts, and front brakes.

I also added an upgraded electronic ignition system.

I loved this car. I only got rid of it after a bad wind storm landed a large tree on top of it crushing it to its death. If your in the Fairlane market find the GTA model, its the most desireable model of the bunch. I had the 289 version once before owning this model and it was a slug compared to the Big Block GTA. Also, find one in good original shape if you can. So many people butcher these things!

The 390 motor is awesome. Gobs of torque and tire smoking performance. With a four speed and posi it's easy to get sideways. Depending on gearing too. The bench seats are like old materesses, the ride like a barge and the corning not much better than a Cadillacs, but the sheer sound of the 7 plus liter engine makes up for it's clumsiness. Mine came with an AM radio that worked for a while then just stopped. Just keep the windows down and you can make some music of your own. Don't expect anything over 12 mpg on the freeway. Maybe 8-10 around town. Gas hog!

I hear these cars are becoming quite collectable items, so the prices are on the rise. I also think that these are a good alternative to the ultra popular Mustang.

A true Detroit Muscle Car!
