It's decided.. find me a Fairlane :) -- PHR project car

[Steve1968LS2]

Talked it over with the big bosses and a Fairlane sounds like a cool project. Bigger than a Mustang and smaller than a Galaxy. Though of Comets, Cougars, Maverics and Falcons but they are all pretty much Mustangs of a different shape.

Besides, I've always wanted to do a "bigger" car

So keep you eyes open for clean '67 Fairlanes ('66 is my second choice). The budget is between $6k and $11k for the starter car. I could find one on the cheap but this isn't Car Craft and I don't want to jerk around with a basket case.

Something like this would be at the low end of condition I would want:

Perferably something like this:

What are the major differences between the two years?

Thoughts on this one?

It's all original with a 289.. was a 500 just a trim package? Origianl paint and all that with only 40k miles on it. Seems a bit on the expensive side but I'm not up on Fairlane pricing. Told it runs great but the original paint is starting to wear through (surface rust). No evidence of accidents or repair.

Thoughts?

A mint "grandma" car would be perfect.. I'm thinking a NASCAR theme to it..
