In 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 R-codes were limited to 57 units. You are currently looking at #52. This car has been so special from day one that the window sticker is still hanging in the back glass (and plenty of other documentation, too.) But just in case you don't already know about Ford special 427ci racers, then read on and find out why this might be your one and only opportunity at greatness.
Ford prepared all 57 cars the same way in iconic Wimbledon White. The company could only get these handfuls to dealers in '66, and they were a certainly only for the knowledgeable. For starters, the window sticker that you can still see affixed to this car lets you know it cost ,501.12 when new – about double that of a base Fairlane V8 two-door. These were racecars for the street, and you know it the moment you see the lift-off ram air hood made of lightweight fiberglass. This hardtop really nails the old stock car racer look, right down to the steelie wheels with minimal hubcaps. There has even been a cool investment in reproduction BF Goodrich Slivertown tires for the front, and Firestone cheater slicks to make this a true period-correct street-eating machine. But more than just rarity, it also is still a premium Fairlane at heart. So you get the hardtop coupe body with the bright wide bumpers and the shining grille as long as the horizon.
Open the door to what is still believed to be original seating and many other original components. These cars came from the factory with only one mission – win everything on the street and strip. So Ford purposely made sure that it could save weight wherever it could. This Fairlane's lavishness was meant to be measured by how many trophies it brought home. You grab the grippy factory wheel with your left hand and the stick shift with your right. There's no radio, because your favorite soundtrack will always be the outlaw rumble from the H-pipe exhaust as you watch the tach and extra wide speedometer dual for who can wind up the quickest.
Remove the lightweight hood to reveal the beast that makes this Ford so legendary. That R-code 427 cubic-inch side oiler V8 barely fit in between the wheels, and this factory custom instantly made these Ford one of the rarest cars around. The big block looks fantastic in the engine bay with the correct aluminum mid-rise intake, dual Holley 710 CFM four-barrel carburetors, and cast exhaust manifolds. The block was rebuilt by the masters at Ralph Conners, utilizing a 12/21/65 casting. This means great period-correct authenticity mixed with exceptional reliability. There was a ton more invested in going beyond just the motor to restore this ultra-rare Ford. While we have the photos to show you everything, all you have to do is look at the undercarriage photos to understand the level of care and precision that has gone into this unicorn Fairlane. But as great as it is to appreciate the history, this coupe was really made to drive. The correct Ford top loader four-speed manual transmission means complete control over the 425 hp/480 lb-ft of torque that launches the lightweight intermediate ahead of Chevys and Mopars. Front disc brakes were even part of the original package just to keep this ferocious Fairlane under control.
We know you're already are extremely excited at this rare opportunity, but also take some time to go through the full paperwork that comes with the car, including the restoration photos, factory buildsheet, original window sticker, title documentation, ownership history and pics. This is your fleeting chance to own a legend. When it's gone, all you'll have are regrets. Call today!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES:
A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY:
Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
