Originally, this 1966 Fairlane  was purchased at LaFayette Ford in LaRayette, North Carolina, close to Ft. Bragg that had a reputation of selling hot new musclecars to young folks heading off to war with a few dollars in their pocket. We know the buyer of this car was a soldier in the 3rd Army based on his base parking sticker that was on the car. There was no sticker for the next year however, so we don’t know if he ever made it home from Vietnam and are currently looking for him to reunited him with his car. 

It was a GT390 Fairlane that ended up in our interior guy’s backyard, where it had been sitting for 20 years or more. Our plans to build it in a modern theme with a new Coyote crate motor became complicated due to a couple of issues,, so we had a 351C from another customer’s car and ended up getting carried away and built the car with our traditional modern conveniences such has a backup camera, cruise control, air conditioning and all of that, to the point that it became a daily driver that is safe and capable of driving to California tomorrow if we want to.
