This is a terrific REAL barn find example of Ford’s desirable answer to the GM and Mopar muscle cars. It even runs, and has a 390 V8 and was fitted with air conditioning at the dealer!
Asking Price: $13,500.00
Location: Central Point, Oregon
Mileage: 105,000
Title Status: Clean
VIN: 6K40S198560
Seller’s Description: Found in a barn (literally) in southern Oregon (see pics). Sold new in North Hollywood, CA. One repaint years ago, but otherwise original except for the carburetor. Does not appear that the engine has ever been out of the car. Original owners’ manual, but no other documents. Runs great, but needs brake work to drive.
Body Condition: One small fender bender on the drivers’ side front. Fender replaced with the good used original fender. Very minimal damage to inner fender underneath. A small amount of surface rust under the left tail light, otherwise a rust free California car! Interior appears all original. I have not cleaned the car.
Mechanical Condition: Carburetor was recently rebuilt. Engine starts nice and runs well. No major leaks. Looks like the master cylinder was replaced recently, but the wheel cylinders will need to be replaced. Equipped with the original 390 “S” code V8 and C6 automatic transmission. It also has power steering, power drum brakes and dealer installed air conditioning. Power steering pump works but is noisy.

Cool car but once again I want the wagon. What is going on with all these feature cars parked next to Country Squires?
Yeah, I want this one.

Yes! I’ll take the wagon. My dad had a ’74 Buick Estate wagon with the garbage truck tailgate. Thing was a massive 9 seater with a 455. Fold down the seats and you could surf boards back there.
That is a Torino Squire.
I’d like to have a 67 Buick Sport wagon like my Dad had. Fully loaded, engine of unknown size but a 4bbl carb that seemed to be as big as a hot tub. I do know at 20/30mph if you floored it you lit up the tires.
On line right now 17 Fairlines 3 of them GTAs all restored. One is a 390 4 speed for 21500. I believe this seller is way over pricing for the amount of work that still needs done.
Bongo, right on the money. Don’t get me wrong, cool car BUT again I say, this is a car that should be stored properly by the owner, accumulate all the needed parts for the restoration and the day will come where there won’t be any more of these and the price will increase and restoration will be feasible.
The car is definitely cool and should be restored but it will take 3 times what the car is worth OR MORE to get it RIGHT.
My opinion, a factory 4 speed would help this car out immensely. Like Bongo said, Restored 390 4 speed GTA asking 21,500 would probably take high-teens cash.
If you put a 4-speed in this Fairlane, it won’t be a GTA. The ’66-’67 GTs had a four speed, the GTAs had a C6 auto trans. Great project car and nicely optioned but priced too high considering what needs to be done.
The GTA defined an Automatic Transmission, the 4 speed Fairlane were GT.
13 K too much.
Ford really was on its game with the 66-67 Fairlane styling. If this car is clean on the bottom Id feel better making a deal at $8-9 grand. It runs and as mentioned you could drive it while you amasse the needed parts to do the full restoration. Great car but he’s fishing at $13 grand.
Appears to be sitting in a dirt floor garage/ shed. Gotta wonder how long it has sat there, rust on the underbelly. Too bad its not a 4 speed.
good luck to the new owner.
These were fast drag cars when new. One of my buddies had one that ran mid 12s. All we did was put on Hooker headers and 3:89 gears, some fine tuning. Also Bruce slicks. The C6 cars were much more consistent in bracket racing than the 4 speed cars.
It could be a good project if it were 1/3rd the price. This is an instant upside-down at this price.
Nice body style, one of my favorite cars of those years although the 390 gets varying opinions, from cats I knew that street raced back then. Some absolutely broke out into laughter, others told me you could get a 390 to run pretty good with some tweaking. My only personal experience with these was a fifteen minutes thrill ride in a ’67 powered by a healthy 428 swapped in. Rebuilt C6, 3.50 gears, manual brakes, manual steering, and an idle that was a total head trip for any muscle car lover. Great memories.
rust free CA car???????
