The 1966 427 Fairlane 500 was part of the Total Performance Ford program. Designed to compete in B/Super Stock it was an $1800 option. Only 57 were built - enough to homologate the car as per NHRA rules. Not as powerful as the Thunderbolt: 10.5:1 CR (instead of 13:1) using a mid-riser 427 (not high riser) these cars could easily get into the 11 sec range. What's most unique about them is they have front disc brakes (manual) - the first intermediate Ford cars to have them. All came in white with black vinyl interior with the lift off super light fiberglass hood. 3.89 Detriot Locker Special Nodular 9" Ford rear with the new HD Ford Toploader 4 speed tranny. The cars were streetable though all were prepped for the drag strip.
