Always, always had a major hard-on for the two door Fairlane, clean, crisp and super sharp lines that were about the sweetest of the era, did great guns on the Nascar circuit of the time, multiple engine options and cheap as chips relative to the day as well . . . . Chook's and my mate's just had this one delivered from some like minded mountain maniacs in Tennessee, straight to the hillside retreat for the impending reconstruction process, bloody good starting point, straight body, solid interior and one very tough, nicely sorted, bored out 390 big block, perfect Christmas twiddling fair. Pay no mind to the ridiculous offset on the rear rollers, it's all gonna change shortly . . . . well, as soon as the El Rancho and the '67 Mustang are done and dusted . . . .
Great
ReplyDeleteNice car. I had a 68 Torino and my friend jack had a 69 Fairlane...and they weren't as nice as this 67. Like you say the lines are nice. The later cars seem bulbous in comparison. My grandfather had a 67 Galaxie wagon with a 390. Was this one run at the drags?
ReplyDeleteYeah mate, I reckon the good ol' boys from Tennessee had been doing the local street drags on a weekly basis Laz, the weakest part of the car is the crappy alteration to the rear suspension and the stupid offset on the rims, all will be rectified prior to rego.
