1967 Ford Fairlane GTA review from North America
"Maybe God will let me own another one before I die"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tore the transmission out 4 times.
General comments?
I bought this 67 Fairlane GTA because it was the only car my insurance company classified as not high performance in 1967. Boy were they wrong.
290 horse power. Automatic transmission. Bucket seats. Power convertible top. Wide oval tires. 15.43 in the quarter mile. I won 15 trophies at the local strips that summer. I was never beat. Pure stock.
I drove my tire dealer crazy when he would take off the old Dunlop gold seals; they would be full of little round rubber balls. I wore out a set of back tires about every 7000 miles.
