1966 Ford Fairlane 500 2 door post car. I am not the original owner but have personally done all the recent cosmetic and mechanical restoration work. The original restoration was performed by the previous owner. The car shows well and is very clean. Paint is good with a few minor blemishes giving it a rating of about a 7. Interior excellent with new paint, new interior chrome bezels and instrument cluster trim, carpets and sound deadening. This car is a driver, not a concours but does turn heads at the local car meets and cruise nights. Engine sounds and runs strong.
