1967 Ford Fairlane 500 Two Door Hardtop 427 410hp Four Speed

Let's See, according to Ford Motor Company this vehicle is 1 of 11 with this power-train combination "35W". In a letter from an NHRA tech, posted on the sub-page, you will see this is the FIRST-#1 produced in this power-train combination and as of 5/24/1967, it was one of eight! Upon further research this car has been verified as car #7 in 427 production! Let's see, lucky #"s 1, 7 and 11, "W" code Car #1 of only 11 produced, 427 Car #7 of 230 built! All of these verified documents and a thick file are included with the purchase of this fine piece of American Muscle Car History!

It is always my policy to thoroughly inspect, research and document special vehicles such as this (also see known items below) ! After my in person digital documentation, the extensive file was reviewed and the phone calls began. This car was sold new to a Kenneth K. in Campbellsburg, Indiana on 2-10-1967, I was able to speak to the original owner who still resides in Campbellsburg!! Ken stated" Yes I purchased the car brand new, kept her for about a year and traded her for a Ford pick-up from gent named Henry M. just a short few miles away!"  It was neat to talk to the original owner!! My chain stopped there due to the commonness of the 2nd owner name and I moved on to the restorer! Purchased by a Richard S. of Decatur, IL in 1993, Richard was more than happy to discuss what he knew about the car, he went on to say "I picked that car up from a gent @ a transmission shop who had her in storage for many years as a restorable roller which included a complete 427 side-oiler engine/trans!  Over the years I have restored over 50-60 Ford Muscle Cars! A complete rotisserie nut-n-bolt restoration (and it shows). The engine was professionally rebuilt with all cylinders sleeved and brought back to standard. I know Fords and hundreds of hours were spent on this correct as possible restoration (see below)! Completed in 94-95, I have done so many, I can't remember each an every detail but it is Real." One contact was to verify the validity of the included letter by Travis M, the NHRA tech (see sub-page 1), who has verified it's production order as 35W car #1 of 11 Produced, with later research showing it as # 7 of 230 427 Fairlanes Built for 1967!! In 1997 she was to sold to the current owner in Michigan who has petted, protected, shown and driven very little!! Now on its way to you!

In closing, there is no question as to the uniqueness of this VERY RARE American Muscle Car!! Cars of this stature have skyrocketed in value over the years and show no signs of future weakness! The ultimate addition to any collection and a surefire investment!  You will not be disappointed!  I encourage you call 1(877)243-9327 and strike a deal! Again, please take the time to review the 4 web pages of over 100 quality photos, read the below known items and you will have very few questions! BID WITH CONFIDENCE!! EASY FINANCING GOOD LUCK!!!! 

Known Items: Spectacular rotisserie restoration completed in 94-95 with nothing left untouched! Very few miles since completion, I would say less than 500 miles! The body is whistle straight with great fitment on all panels. The correct Clearwater Aqua factory color finish is probably over done as compared to factory. Some metallic bunching is noted on the upper surfaces (hood/deck/roof) with one thin spot on the RR roof (see sub-page pix, all visible in the photos) it is very very presentable with a no excuses presence! A recent Marti Report and New Door Data Tag is Included! The proper holes do exist in the shock towers (427 bodies only) and it also carries the proper re-enforcing brackets protruding out from under the rear of fender apron near the hood hinges ( also 427 car specific ).

When you represent a "RARE LOW PRODUCTION MUSCLE CAR" such as this, it seems as though someone always wants to challenge it's heritage and originality.  I have had many comments from "Hardcore Enthusiasts", right or wrong this is what was shared with me! The results of my dubious listening and research are as follows:

Some bolt on parts appear not to be correct but this is understandable as a lot of these parts could have been substituted through the years given the nature/use of this type of car! The hood is a Drag Pack Hood which is not as built (I would have done the same thing on this restoration, as many were sold across the counter or dealer installed). The engine is a service replacement 427 Side Oiler date coded "8J25" 10/25-1968, which was professionally rebuilt and sleeved standard bore. The cylinder heads are correct "C5AE" . The intake is a "SideWinder" (not correct but sold new across the counter in 1967). Other bolt on parts that appear to be incorrect are as noted: exhaust pipes (manifolds are correct), transmission cross-member, trans tail-shaft, brake master cyl, engine feed harness (3 prong plug instead of the proper 4 prong big block plug) , valve covers (66 pent-roof valve covers instead of the proper "Power by Ford), drive-shaft (straight 3" tube and not tapered), "N" nodular case rear (N signification cast into the outside of 1969 and up cases), No transistorized ignition, body color Floor Pans (should be either primer gray red or black depending on who was on the assembly line that day), alternator pulley (should be oversize), fuel line (feeding the carb instead of the proper fuel log). under body fuel line along rocker (not bent properly and should be 1 piece from the tank to the front of the front torque box), factory Dash Tach (not installed but is included) and Non correct Radio Delete (factory AM radio is not included).

One thing is for sure, "It Is What It Is", What You See and "NO QUESTION", # ONE of ELEVEN ("W" Code) and # SEVEN in FOUR TWENTY SEVEN production! With all of that said, Again I Say, to the best of my ability, I have done extensive research, listened to experts and provided over 100 High Quality Photos on 4 web-pages allowing anyone to make an educated decision. That's about it! As I always say, Not Perfect and Not New (none are) but this is one very Sweet and Extremely Rare 60's Muscle car!! It is what you see and then some!!! Paul Harvey!! Good Day and Good Luck!
