This is my car just a couple months before dad bought it. That is John Cseh and Tony Rinero.

As for other Fairlane Stockers, here in Div.6, James Quan from Alberta has several Ford Stock & S/S cars, including a green 67 Fairlane in E/SA with a 390. And although he has only had the car out once or twice, Rick Pike (56 Chev SS/NA ) also owns a SS/D 427 4speed 67 Fairlane.

John was very successful with this car. That is why my dad followed it for a year or so before he bought it. We were in the resturaunt buisness back then and had more cash to throw around. lol
Yes, John made it to the finals at Indy in 77, 79 with this car. Got beat both times I think, In 79 the car broke and in 77 he was treed and broke out. He didnt like anyone to cross before him. HAHAH..He won the Spring nationals in Columbus in 78 I think. The car has not made a pass in 8 years or more as of now. My mother got sick, dad retired, and NHRA is tough on a fixed income, as everyone knows. Is this the car your friend bought?

Here is a car that was not seen much. I was told by someone that this s probably the lowest mileage "original" 427 Fairlane known. I dont know that myself but I sure hope they still have this car. After building the T-Bolt I dont think they ran this car anymore. This car even has a Bill Roal, "Short Round" pait job.

Yes I believe its like 17 miles. Ray Smith bought it at Fuller Ford in downtown Cincy and drove it to his home in Harrison. He just restored it a few years ago but unfortunately Ray passed away back in October. Ray Smith and Dallas Kelly were racing partners for many years. I believe they started out with a '64 Galaxie Lightweight then went to the 67 you have pictured and then to the T-Bolt that Dallas just finished a top notch restoring job on. They were the "Wrecking Crew".
I've been following your post on selling your Dad's old car. I don't know your situation but I hope you reconsider.

Dad always tols me that story too. He was friends with Dallas Kelly.
If my A car dont sell I will race it again. I have two boys in college so it would be a few years before I could swing it. I still am in need of a enclosed trailer. 24' or 22' at bare minimum. Dad sold has Pace 24' before he passed. It was one of the nicest he ever had.

Sledge won Indy with a 66 or 67 Fairlane in '87? Raced Eddie Bednez in the final if my memory is right.

Also, if I were you before you get it back out. Give Blair Patrick a call and have him go through it to make sure there aren't any issues from it sitting. That way you don't go out a loose a high end engine over something. If you want to just enjoy the car with your boys go run some UMTR races (stick shift race) with it. The UMTR South have races at Edgewater, Bluegrass or I-64 I think it is now, Beech Bend and Ohio Valley maybe. If you click on this link http://www.umtrnorth.com/forums/default.asp you will probably have to register but after you do that go to the UMTR South thread and check out this years schedule and go check out a race.
