So after about 24yrs of him wanting a fairlane and things jus not all lining up, we went and picked up a 66 fairlane roller.. Body is actually in pretty good shape, some rust in the floor boards but nothing that can't be fixed.. Still decinding on what motor and all that to go with, but about 2 weeks ago I promised I would find one for him and I did the price was def right, it's an original Cali car. I just didn't expect to find it so fast and for the price I did. If someone could post up the pics for me I would apreciate it... Either way I'm happy to have been the one to find it for him after soo many yrs.

wilit pics sent, thanks for posting them for me.. i thought my pops was gonna shed some tears when it was finally real and he knew it was his..
he deserves this car so much im just glad i got to be a part of finding it and making sure he got it.. we got a steal on this car, dude even delivered it for free and is prob gonna hook us up on some extra pieces they had laying around.. we got it from an older gentleman thats had the car for years.

Nice! A '66/'67 Fairlane is on my list of cars to build. I've come close to buying a couple times.

Ya even though the 66/67 are so similiar or whatever it had to be a 66 and a 66 only because that was the yr he had when he was in school. It's def a project but were gonna make it sick.

yea that one in the vid is badass.. we actually paid less then 700 for the roller which i think is a damn good price cause there wasnt much rust on it at all and these things seem kinda hard to find.. that or i was looking in the wrong places lol. if u have any extra parts layin around u wanna sell let me know.
