Is there a list somewhere of the surviving 427 light weight Fairlanes? I believe Rich Lorenze from Brazil Indiana had one. I drive through that town once a month and Lorenze Auto Repair is still there. I'm going to stop one day and see if they have any photos around that I can scan if no one else has any.

I am guessing this is the Jerry Harvey Fairlane, but not sure if the paintwork is correct for the 67 Super Stock Nationals. I did not know this car or the Ireland car were in attendance. I learned something today! I guess the '66 cars were rated at less weight to run in SS/B over the '67 Fairlanes?

Mike,

Good Hunting.

In 1966, only a few 'Sedans' were built.

On the 1966,

Here is Bill Ireland running his 1966 Fairlane 500

Tommy D,

Here's a 1966 running in SS/BA at Dover Drag Strip in 1967.

Richie Marcy bought his new, as a 4-Speed. But, he couldn't stop
missing shifts, and blew the 427 Wedge up 'three times'.

They brought it back to the Ford Dealership {Carmel Ford, New York}
and they swapped in a Fairbanks C-6.

That did the 'trick'.

Dick Arons also won the 1968 SS Nationals with a 67 Camaro Convertible 396/325 in SS/F. Incredible feat to win this race two years in a row. Once with an automatic and once with a stick!
