Great driver condition S-Code 390ci V8 '66 Fairlane GTA is up for grabs. The Fairlane GT and GT-A's were direct competitor's with GM's SS396 Chevelle's, The Fairlane GT/GTA was Ford's response to the beginning of the big block muscle car era. Plenty of Fairlane's can be found, but the S-Code GT/GTA's are highly sought after and getting tougher to find, especially a good solid one like this.

The body is in great shape with no rust seen and the paint is driver quality condition with a few knicks and scratches, but overall looks good. This Fairlane originally came in yellow with one repaint to the gray you see today. The Chrome and Bright-work all shine nicely but do show wear throughout the years. Glass is in great shape with a new windshield just installed and all windows operate smoothly. The Hood is the hard to find style with the 390 inserts that just makes this car pop!

The Interior is black vinyl bucket seats and typical wear is seen throughout but really it presents quite well with no tears in the seats, etc. Bucket seats and console cars are the most sought after in the muscle car community and especially factory black interior is key when finding the right car. The headliner is in good shape with only a minor tear directly above the driver and all the door panels and rear deck-shelf are in good shape as well. The dash is in good shape and all the gauges work correctly. A new heater core was just installed and the heat works great. All interior and exterior lights and accessories work as well.

The Engine is the true S-Code 390ci V8 that everybody wants. It fires right up and runs great! This Fairlane was originally a C6 automatic car, but now holds a 4-speed manual which makes the driving experience that much better. The trunk on this car shows the original paint which also indicates original metal inside the trunk. The chassis is exceptionally well kept as far as originality, It'll be tough to find an original metal Fairlane in this good of shape in terms of being solid and rust free. New rear springs and shocks as well as cal-trac bars have been installed as well.

This Fairlane would make an excellent driver and presents itself quite well driving down the road as-is, or would make an excellent restoration project with how solid the car is for being original metal. Plenty of pictures are seen above showing the condition, so by all means, let the pictures do the talking!

When Ford introduced the Fairlane GT in 1966 it was late to the party, caught off guard by the explosion in muscle car horsepower at GM. To make up time, Ford would offer the GT only as a supercar, less a GTO-fighter than an answer to the pure muscle of a Chevelle SS396. To do that, the sole Fairlane GT engine was over the top: The S-code. Not even offered in 1967, this ultra-high-performance 390 FE-block put on a Holley four-barrel, squeezed out 11.0:1 compression and sent 335 HP to the pavement. In fact, when Car & Driver put a 1966 Fairlane GTA (automatic) in a six-way test, it made the quarter mile in 14.26 seconds at 99.99 mph, which was faster than the 360 HP big block Chevelle. Of course, it turned out Ford had sent in a ringer built by Holman/Moody, but they certainly made their intentions clear: They were gunning for the best. A 3-speed came standard, with optional C6 automatic or this car’s close-ratio Toploader 4-speed. It was formerly part of the world-renowned Pack’s Automotive Museum in Carrollton, Texas. The Georgia car received a rotisserie restoration that included a rebuild of the mighty 390, with the addition of an exotic triple carburetion setup. There is an excellent chain of ownership with the car, dating back to 1970, just a few years after it was sold. Sam Pack provenance, a Tri-Power setup and Toploader 4-speed all poured into a fabulous Red over Black first-year Fairlane GT Coupe. It’s a package that makes a unique car.
