Not mine, but a guy on my mail route is selling a '66 Fairlane GT/A 'vert. It was a nice sunny day today here in Cleveland, so he put it out on the treelawn today... Poppy red, black interior, black top, 390 automatic. Some rust :uhoh:, but not a total ECI-mobile :evil:... I can get contact info if someone is interested.

So where at in Cleveland? I work in the city (not the best part of it either) and I'd like to check it out for a buddy if possible.

I see you are in Grafton........I just moved to the same area last year. Fantastic place to live vs. the city!

Well, I left a note for the guy today - he called back a few hours later...

it is a '67, not 66... it has had some floor patching in the past. 126k miles. new dual exhaust, needs tires (dryrotted) Car is in Strongsville (south suburb)

Hey, the town it is in can't hurt, I would want a Fairlane GT/A 'vert from Strongsville...

One of very few cars I would rather have than my cougar. Wish I had cash

Sounds awfully cheap, any chance for some pictures?

 

[Paul68XR7]

I would be interested in pictures as well.

I sent you a PM a few days ago but I guess you didn't get it. If the car is still available could you send me the contact info.

Thanks,
Danny

Sorry guys, been out of town this past week for a family emergency.

I don't want to post the guy's phone number on a public forum, so I've been trying to play catch-up and PM-ing his contact info to those who expressed interest. If I missed anyone, let me know (again) :uhoh:

I looked at the car a little better the other day... It has some kind of subframe connectors welded in, slightly below the floor pans. Not a bad idea for any unibody 'vert, but it leads one to ask why and when. Was the car getting 'soft' and this was a band-aid repair, or did a previous owner want to stiffen the car before it got rusty.

After driving my buddy's '73 Mustnag 'vert, I can see why someone would put the connectors in. Let me put it this way -- you wouldn't want to have your fingers in the door gap as you drove down the road. Man, those cars flex!
