- Deep dive into Michael Tagg's fantastic big-block, 4-speed 1967 Fairlane that runs 9s. Ultimate sleeper look with one of the coolest engine bays we've seen. Perfectly prepared, bench seat, old-school vibe with huge naturally aspirated power.

All aluminum FE with a stick in a beautifully prepared and meticulously maintained Fairlane. Absolutely killer combination. Thanks to Mike for building such a great car and Evan for bringing it to us.
You’re welcome Paul.
Pure badass bar None.☝️👍🤔👍💪💪💪💪💪🆒😎😎🎯😆😁☹️💪✌️
exactly what dad raced, and drove home... cept it had a 13 bolt detroit locker rear end and the only thing you could see is the pot in the rear end.. it was all rubber... low 10s car
Absolutely stunning car. Built, driven, and loved in the old school way, with plenty to give the competition. It just doesn't get any better than this.
And can we please just take a moment and appreciate that this is NOT another LS swap?! 🤣
Only fools do an LS swap to a Ford
Exactly
@@ricktotz4078 or worse jz swap fuckos
@@ricktotz4078 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree no junkolet stuff .
I could listen to that BB 427 all day, those T bolts and fairlane left the line so nice and straight. The camaro in the other lane lost before they did their burnout.
Sweet ride! I have a 66 Comet Caliente with a 351w swap, C6 and a built 9 inch. I've owned it since I was 18 and I'm 40 now. I love the old Ford's and Merc's.
Great I had a 65 Caliente with a 351 Windsor and a FMX automatic 2dr hrdtop
What a great car, your coverage is excellent 👍.
Thank you from all the old Ford boys...
Fuckin a man
427 2 door post car!!!! super, super rare. the FE series motors are the most beautiful motors to come out of my home town, Detroit. what a super nice car man, love that gree metallic. my dad had A 66 fairlane, 427 toploader 4 speed, he used to race at Detroit dragway. he even beat Huston Martin (RIP) (Harold Martin's dad) in a trophy class once. it was a raggedy POS looking car but that 427 was a screamer.
what a beauty!!
Nothing sounds like an FE.
Had a few in my life including a 428 CJ
Oh man , What a beauty !!!!!
that Fairlane is awesome!
This Fairlane is STUNNING!!!
Those slow-mo pics tell the story - massive power
What a great and beatiful car, congratulations
WOW JUST WOW I LOVE IT NICE HOTROD AND ALL FORD .❤❤
Two frends from beaver falls PA. Had these . Loved them since high school. Jeff. H. And Tom. S.
Wow beautiful Fairlane !!
Those old 427s were serious motors they won everything.
Car is beyond awesome...nice job Evan
Thanks!
I pass one of these beauties everyday sitting at a lot, love the styling of these old Fairlane's
Kool🤝Sleeper💪
Enjoy Every Moment of It,
Congratulations✌
The slo-mo was so awesome seeing the slicks wrinkle up.
Thank you for sharing. It brought back memories of a time in the 70s when an AHRA pure stock 427 car from Laredo, Texas showed us his taillights. The car was well prepared and ran near the record for his class.
Tough combo to beat!
66-67 Fairlanes are a passion...
Rite body, rite engine, straight launching. Man you sure got together here!
It's perfect, I wouldn't change a thing, that dude did a VERY good job!!!
A 67 car with a better 66 steering wheel, super super cool. Also, the radio-delete dash is one of my all-time favorite things. Awesome vid Evan and just an absolutely bad-ass car!
Ditto on both, the padded 67 horn was rather ugly to me, and the radio-delete dash a rarity. Wish I had another one in any version as these 66 and 67 Fairlanes are my all-time favorite cars.
What originally held these back was tires; the Fairlane's stock rear wheel-wells are narrow and the unibody construction makes changes there tougher in the classes which allow that. When rubber technology found a way to make the tires stick these Fairlanes came into their own spanking almost all the other muscle cars soundly; they're a lot lighter than they look. The Fairlanes were common but the 427 versions are scarce and those had some unique chassis changes and specific parts specs so know what you're doing if you're looking for an original as there are fakes out there.
When a car sounds that nice on computer speakers, AND his competitors can see *his*
"win light" even before they're at the 3/4 mark, that's when you know it's a sweet car.
Wow a jamoke from Beaver Falls PA. Nice ol ‘67 especially with that Jerico!
Outstanding! Love the looks, love the sound, miss them days!
Love this car
For a short while I owned a factory 427 dual 4's that was this body style. Couldn't be licensed for the street. Sure wish I could've kept it!
The moment I heard him talk, I knew he was from Pennsylvania.👍 There was several Ford racers from Beaver Falls, New Castle, Zelienople, Aliquippa etc that were FE racers back in the day.
Very nice and it runs real well too. Beautifully done.
Very sweet ride. Love the attention to detail and the passion the owner has for everything on it. Another awesome video Evan
That’s a classic time. Big blocks have been doing 10 s for years.
Awesome car! and that 427 FE 4 speed is sweet!
Beautiful Car ,love the FE engines.
Beautiful car!! Love the color! I had a 66 390 convertible that same color....miss it dearly!
What a beautiful Car, Michael.. The immaculate detailing of engine compartment is
amazing.. That Green Metallic paint is a perfect color choice. Thanks for sharing it..
OMFG, that slow-motion launch!!! Those sidewalls wrinkling!! THE WHEEL-LIP WAS 1-2 INCHES FROM THE TRACK SURFACE ON THE HIT!!! That was f'ing sick! Looked like a little wheel-hop or shake later in the tire-spin, especially on the passenger side, though.
One of my friends had a dark blue '66-'67 two door sedan like that, but it was a 289. He had some HiPo heads and an intake and Holley 4 barrel on it, but it was always put away and I never heard it run.
Put it at 1/4 speed and watch it. Looks like the wheel touches the strip!
That could explain what looks like wheel hop. Tire pressure may be a little too low causing the tire to wad up.
@@edwardhasiak7961
Yeah you can see the wheels actually bounce off the pavement a little! That's the best view of how slicks function that I think I've ever seen.
@@HighlanderNorth1 I am sure he looses forward momentum because of it.
@@edwardhasiak7961
I didn't think of that, but I guess he needs to add slightly more air to the slicks. Obviously he's watched this video, so I'd bet he's already attempted to remedy the situation.
I need to get my Chevelle to an NMCA race. This is one cool Ford! Great job.
I got chills on that BB firing up...
Another great car, love this channel! Ford Forever!
Mike's car was absolutely the cleanest car on the track, not once was there a speck of dust on that car. And it sounds awesome.
Wowww..luv it..tough, straight, super quick.. unbelievable.. ✌️
Absolutely perfect. What a cool Fairlane, thanks for sharing.
What a incredible car, I'm a mopar guy but this is so cool.
Thanks for bringing this one to us, Evan! That is one sweet, badass Fairlane! I would love to cruise that, just once, on a Friday night! I smell trouble🤔😆
Wow what a car, your interviews are great,so is the camera work, and the editing that slow motion shot of the launch was real cool.
Thanks Evan for bringing these types of great cars to our attention. Like the cars and the work you do 👍
You’re welcome David.
What a beautiful car.
Beautiful car,great video. Thanks for sharing this
Beautiful Fairlane!! Thanks for sharing!
Oh hell yeah, love this car! Keepin’ it NA and mostly old school…Kudos on this build! 👍
I had a 64 galaxie in highschool (30 yrs ago ) I would have given my left arm to see all this cool stuff back then!! None of it had any exposure- so glad to see so much amazing FE stuff out there now. Thanks! I just subscribed
My dad also had a few different 66/67 fairlane’s gt’s and gta’s when I was growing up they are great cars. Nothing plant’s you in the seat like a good running big block. You can stroke a small block to make those cubic inches but they don’t make that torque down low in the RPM’s like a real big block does. Thanks Evan
I love that car… There’s so many details that you mentioned and it is so clean… I especially like how you guys got excited with the other cars coming by… Nice interview Evan
Thank you
Awesome. Body color steel wheels are bad ass.
Michael you nailed terrific car
Love that car my older brother had a 66 mercury comet we put my hipo 302 from my 64 f100 into it and I gave him my leftover Caribbean turquoise paint to get it looking nice. Just love this body style 66s and 67s man thanks for sharing Evan
Yes sir Michael that’s a really nice Fairlane one of my favorite too, 🤩I have the 1969 Ford Torino Cobra 428SCJ, Automatice.,😃 Thanks for sharing . Thanks Evan
Beautiful. Fast FE Fairlane sounds great thanks for showing it to us
Awesome! Makes me want a FE!
What a badass car! Love the channel!
Thanks Robert.
Awesome Build!! Just the way it should be from the period wheels to the interior and engine.
Beautiful!
I had a ‘70 302 Montego auto. When through 2gear band twice and tires,…. Bench seats….love machine too!
Forgot SAME GREEN
Absolutely amazing and Quick Fairlane, Michael.. Beautiful Car..
Gold Rush was a 67 fairlane 427 that ran in the Midwest back in the day. She was a 10 second car as I recall
Nothing better the the sound of a FE in a Limegold 67 Fairlane in the morning.
Beautiful car! One of my dream cars with my dream engine!
Got my VOTE:)
Dreams are made of this right here 💯🤘😎
Love it!
Love it!!!! Love everything about it. How cooler can you get with the period correct look and it’s a stick. The wheel combo hits it off, and the Autolite puts it over the top. Lots of restored show cars don’t even put a period correct battery in. I’d change the badge to 482.
Beautiful FE Fairlane
Drop dead GORGEOUS Ford
I'm not a Ford fan but this is beautiful, nice and clean, awesome job.
My first car was a 66 fairlane, 390 428 Cobra Jet heads C6 370 years Wimbledon white with blue interior, daily driver. But my favorite is a 67 XL, had one was restoring, blue on blue, ex-wife was complaining about my toys, sold the car and my pristine 60 Ranchero 65 Fairlane and a few motorcycles, trying to keep her from 🤬 then she fooled around with the busboy on her job. I sure miss my 67 😪
what a beautiful beast.
Michael T, Bill Ballinger here. Beautiful car! Miss y’all on the forum!
Beautiful hot rod!
beautiful car great vid Evan
Absolutely love that car!!!!! 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Man, I love that 60s green!!!! Pea Soup Green!!
Real cool car !!
From a Chevy guy who loves Mopars & hates Fords, One hell of a ride Michael. I have seen a lot of cars over the years. This is one to cherish. Wish it was mine....
Fantastic!
One of the all time greats and one of my favorites!
One almost exactly like it was for sale in our local Greensheets when I went shopping for my first car.
It had the side oiler and a spare 428CJ to go with it. Light weight factory panels and all for $3,300.
That's 33 hundred NOT Thousand.
Since I was only 16 and only managed to scrape up $700 working summer jobs, I bought a beat up 65 fast back instead that had been used for circle track, which I still have today (project). My parents (thank god) did not just give you stuff, you had to earn it.
8u
Pittsburgher here… Awesome car from a Beaver Falls native
That’s fun, cool car. Same roof and doors as my 69 Falcon. Shared platform obviously.
Stunning car, Michael!
"Waldos old car.
I live in PNW and seen his 67 stocker, 40 years ago , he set the record 1st Stock car in NHRA to go 10's. He was flat good with a factory 4 sp and factory std shifter assembly, IMO easily as Ronnie Sox, with conventional floor linkage shifter.
The ERA Jim Van Cleve his two fairlanes.
That big boat of a car FLEW!!!
In the 78 Fall classic in Seattle, I witness Jim's car go rear bumper scrape wheelie in 3RD Gear!!! Unprecedented beast Power machine! It was a 9 second Fairlane , way beyond his years. In 1978, nobody else anywhere was doing this.
Then, Dennis Miller in Mid Oregon , his white 427 Fairlane. He was good too, Fast 427 car.
Then My 67 Fairlane, 428 powered car, ran 12.00's with a basic no nothin daily driver type street engine.
I Won a lot of races in the ERA . Loved going to races those guys showed up.
It was for decades, typical the Ford 428 Engines, dominated drag racing in winning in the tracks in the area.
I was fortunate to be part of it. Wasn't the fastest yet was one guy ppl Didn't was to see pull thru the gates car on the old flat bed trailer.
Still have the 427 fender emblems from the early 70's.
Nice machine. Shift’s out nice!!!!
Love that body style
Beautiful!!!!
Fords will run fantastic when prepared properly i.e. Bob Glidden this man has done a good job also
Great car ! I have a 67 Comet, same body style and color. Mine has natural patina, LOL, 408W with TKX not near as nice, but very fun.
Me too! I have a 66 Comet with a stock stroke 351w. I don't have the time or patience to keep mine anywhere near as clean as this guy's Fairlane, though.
That's a high dollar big block there!
I bought 1967 Fairlane XL/GT dual quads 427 new from TASCA Ford that they built in-house. I still have the car today. It's candy apple red with black interior and still all original in near mint showroom condition.
Great video Evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
