Brian Gray is the proud owner of this beautifully restored 1966 Fairlane GT.
It is in the process of receiving a 468 c.i.d. (427 bored & stroked) Genesis motor from Duffee Motorsports in Pheonix, AZ. The 390 and four speed tranny were removed on October 25th in preparation for the new mill. Duffee Motorsports also installed Baer disc brakes on all four corners. This car has been a daily driver for ten years. The rear is a 9" w/ limited slip. It turned a best of 15.5 seconds in the 1/4 mile with the 390 with quite a bit of wheel hop if he hits the throttle too soon. I see some traction devices in the future for this car. Brian plans to spend the next two years fixing, replacing and refreshing the things time has done to his pride and joy. Bless him Lord.

Here are a couple of Fairlane GT's from the corral of Bob Plowman.
The yellow '67 Fairlane has a 427 MR with 2-715 Holleys; a reproduction 324 degree solid lifter cam and a C-6 with 5 clutch hi/rev; shift kit and still has the column shifter as the car came with no console, but is a GTA.

The green 66 GTA has a 390 (the original engine from the yellow Fairlane) with a 750 Holley on a Streetmaster manifold; mild Crane hydraulic cam and a C-6 Trans with 4 clutch hi/rev, shift kit, floor shift w/ console.
Bob does all of his own engine/transmission/body/paint work on his cars and boats.

J. Frank aquired this beautiful '67 Fairlane 500 in late 2000 from a man in West Texas. He bought the car new from McAdams Ford in Weatherford, Texas. It was driven for 100,000 miles and then parked in a shed in his back yard since the mid 70's. Originally a 289 2V w/ 3 speed overdrive car, Frank has made several changes to his car. The complete drive train from an S Code 1967 Fairlane GT doner car was installed w/ 9 inch 3.25 open rear, but the top loader was replaced with a Tremac 5 speed. Also added were 390 GT coil; leafs; sway bar; new '67 390 radiator with correct brackets; '67 GT Fairlane factory air cleaner (California version); big block battery tray; 428 PI intake manifold and new acc carpet for the 4 speed trans tunnel; Grenada front disc brakes and 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust with turbo mufflers.

The Fairlane is a one owner car that was used as a daily driver for about 30 years and the odometer reads over 200,000 miles. Everything is pretty much stock except the engine was reconfigured to that of a GT when rebuilt @ 160,000 miles by Bakers Auto Shop Racing Engines. The heads were ported and polished at the same time.

Glen Patrick's first T-Bolt. The pictures were taken at Lakeland Dragway in Memphis, TN in the 1970s. This car was Dick Brannon's car serial #1, or so they have been told. The car was bought out of Michigan for $5,000 in the mid seventies by Bobby Davis and Glen Patrick of Memphis. They sure wish they had it now.
