Lets see some Fairlanes

troublemaker427 · 11-20-2008, 05:53 PM

Here is mine. It was my first car and I drove it to high school. I've had it for 28 years and I'll never get rid of it.

Ahhhhhhh,this is the thread I've been waiting on! I love Fairlanes,especially the 63's! Dont have 1 @ the moment but there is another 1 in my future.

427 SOHC?

Gumbydammit · 11-20-2008, 05:58 PM

You remember this one ? NSCA Pro Nostalgia owned by Pat Burke and driven by John Jones. It's now a 526" BBF street car with a lenco!

Gumbydammit · 11-20-2008, 06:00 PM

Hopefully Pat will chime in with some better pics. I'd love to see some from back in the day. My computer took a dump so I don't have any others.

Oh yeah, I remember Pat's. One of the nicest and fastest Fairlanes ever!! It's a great car. Remember the carbon fiber intake? I talked to Pat & John at Shakedown this year. I hang out with Charlie & Brian Booze. Pro Nostalgia was the good old days!!

btw 1964 Thunderbolt clone built by my good freind Mike Weicek. It has the correct 427 center oiler.4 speed with thunderbolt suspension any everything else to make it the exact clone to Dick Brannans car. It is now owned by Romey Hammes which whos father originaly owned the #1 Thunderbolt driven by Dick Brannan. I helped him with the paint and build up of the 427 motor with dual holley carbs,high riser heads and intake. I have other pics i just have to dig them out.
