1966 Ford Fairlane GT

KC Classic Auto is proud to present this FABULOUS 1966 Ford Fairlane GT convertible, A.K.A. Gidget!

Believed to be a 3 owner car, current owner purchased the car from the second owner’s estate, who owned it for 35 years.

This RARE ride is 1 of 4,327 Fairlane GT convertibles produced in 1966!

Powered by an S-code 335hp 390ci V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine and transmission are believed to be original, and the date code on the block (6E27 = 5/27/66) and the build date of the car (6/13/66) support that.

The previous owner installed a Crane Cam, hooker headers, Glasspacks, and an Edlebrock Performer intake manifold. (original intake manifold, exhaust manifold, etc.) will be included with the car).

The body panels appear to be original with evidence of rust repair being performed on the lower rear quarters, and the bottom of the driver door. Previous owner believed the car had one full re-paint (in its original Arcadian Blue). The paint/body are in good condition with some flaws/touchups and bubbling from prior rust repair (see pics).

The power convertible top was replaced around 16 years ago and works great. The top is in good condition with minor wear.

The Parchment interior is in good shape for its age, showing normal wear. The front seat covers were replaced in 2000, and the drivers seat has one small tear on the bottom.

The car runs and drives great! In the past year, the current owner had the following installed: a new Holley 650cfm carburetor and electric choke, new under hood seal/bumpers, new door seals/bumpers, new master cylinder, NOS temperature sending unit, new door stoppers, new vacuum lines, new fuel lines, new brake wheel cylinder, and a new tailshaft seal. The emergency brake was repaired, oil was changed and a tune-up was performed last year as well.

The car sits on factory 14” wheels (recently polished) with 4 new BF Goodrich Silvertown Redline 225/70/14 tires.

The original broadcast sheet, owners manual and many original parts are included with the sale. Some aftermarket parts also included.
