Thank You for the replies to my original post. My car is a Caspian (Dark) Blue/Medium Blue cloth 202 (cheapie) 2 dr post sedan. Very little street use ever, no rust but a tired old drag car needing total restoration. Probably about half done today and going along well. Tough car to do, very little NOS stuff, interior made up from NOS yardage searched out (no kits or covers). I am the 4th owner, previous to me owner had car for 22 years. I have found the original owner, the gentleman today owns Beaver Springs IHRA Dragway in Pennsylvania. Cool old drag strip, check out their web site. Boy, was he ever excited to hear from me last year when I found the car. I will be at the strip next summer for their nostalgia event and Bob will make a pass in his Rcode 427 Comet. Can't wait ! I'll try to post some pics in the near future.

I'm a little late to this thread, but here goes.

If you haven't done so already, go to FordFE.com, which will link you to a Network 54 forum. A gentleman named Peter Wilson frequents that site. His ID will show up as either "pmw" or "Peter". He has an R code Comet but more importantly, he's totally focused on these '66/'67 427 Comets and Fairlanes. He is to them what Marlin is to Deuces. You give him a color and general area, and he can usually come back with the selling dealer, who campaigned it, how its optioned, and the VIN. And, like Marlin, he shares his information with like minded people. Do look him up there. A search for "R code Fairlane" should get you a bunch of hits. If you have trouble, PM me and I'll try to get you his contact info.

Your best reference car is proably the 1,998 mile black on tan R-code 202 that Dick Bridges owns/(owned?). Car is said to be outstanding in its originality and detail, but I haven't seen it up close.

Finally, I have access to a couple of reference quality R-code Fairlanes (a '66 and a '67) that I can go look at if you think that could be of help to you.

Best of luck to your restoration efforts, please post pics when done!

I was wondering where you were !!!!

George;

I have a customer who is currently doing an R code Fairlane. He gave me the OK to forward his contact info to you, and also has some other resources available that may be of help to you.

Check your private messages for his contact info, I'm not sure he wants me posting it on the open forum.

Hope this helps.

George,
Where are you located in Erie? I'm only 90 minutes south of you along I-80. The wife and I both have family up there and I would like to stop in sometime I'm up.

BTW, for Ford knowledge you might try a guy in Stoneboro.
