1966 Ford Fairlane 500 review from North America
"A charmer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Other than routine maintenance this car was basically trouble free. I did add a set of Walker turbo mufflers to enhance the sound.
General comments?
When I got the car it was in sound condition for being 30 years old. The interior did not survive too well, but the body was very good still after years of use. Motor worked well at lower rpms for nice cruising ability. Very suave 1960's look, good for stares. A great American classic.
