Congrats on your retirement!
I hope you get a good price for that car. It looks very special and you clearly put a lot into it. Must be hard to give up but hope your work pays off. I have a thing for those Fairlanes. I owned an Emberglo 66 GT 4-spd when in college and have some great memories tied to it. |

Unfortunately, the only photo I have is not flattering but looks like my real life at the time..
Here's a glamour shot of someone's restored gem. Mine never looked this good but it did clean up nice at the time.. I bought mine cheap in ~1974 with a whiny transmission. I replaced the input bearing and it was reliable for several years. It was geared high so kind of a slug but would go up the big hill on I-70 as fast as I wanted... fun car! |

Should have had a 3.25 gear from the factory, which isn't a bad match for a car with a wide ratio 4 speed trans.

As I recall, I had totalled a 68 Chevelle, insurance gave me $800, and I paid $600 for the Fairlane. The scary price of gas (at the time) motivated me to trade it on a new Toyota...oh well... it happened a lot! |

Gotcha. A decent Fairlane GT was about a $2,000 car by the time I got my driver's license in the mid 1980's.

Good luck with the sale. Your eBay ad is well done with lost of pictures and details about the car.

I remember that console being solid as the car... definitely pre-plastic! I downloaded a few of your photos... they are well done! I truly wish you the best on this one. |

Nice car. The first car I bought with my own money was a 1968 Torino GT convertible with a 390 4-spd. I was 17 at the time. My dad had a dealer's license during my teen years, so there was always something to drive. Mine was dark green with black interior.
