The 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 is a true classic, offering a variety of body styles, from the rugged Rancharo to the breezy convertible. If you’re feeling fancy, go for the pillar-less two-door hardtop, a doppelgänger of the convertible. Under the hood, choose from the standard K code 289, a modest six-cylinder, or unleash the beast with the 390 CID FE V8. Mid-year thrill-seekers could even opt for the R-code 427 with a four-speed manual. Check out these beauties, courtesy of Gateway Classic Cars!
The 1966 Fairlane is available with a full range of body styles including the Rancharo or a convertible. The two coupe version could be an entry level model with the “B” pillar behind the drivers door or the high trim pillar-less two door hard top-looking a lot like the convertible shown here. Standard equipment engine this year is a K code 289, but there is a six cylinder on the option sheet and a 390 CID FE V8 for the power option. Mid-year the R-code 427 coupled to a four speed manual transmission is added to the options sheet as well.
