![]() Okay, To challenge my decision making skills even more, my friend Eric has complicated my problem.
I posted a few weeks back about my friend with the BAD A$$ 67 Fairlane not selling his car, well he called me today and said he'd sell it to me or TIM C only, for 5000$. Cheaper than a Factory Five Replica Cobra, not as stylish, but one BAD MOTHER of a car. The motor alone probably has over that much in it. All it needs is a clutch to run. It needs a carpet, a dash, some wiring (which I could do easily), some Tuning up (again I could do easily), rear bumper, and some TLC to make it presentable. Its got a new Carolina Blue paint job, Original almost perfect seats and door panels. Factory Power Disc Brakes, Factory 4:11's and traction bars with the Drag Pack suspension. Toploader Four Speed, 9 inch locker, ONE HELL OF A BUILT UP 390. Accoding to Desk top Dyno it was pushing over 500 HP and almost as much Torque with a 600 CFM Carb. I would add, A roll cage with two sets of Five point harness's, a bigger carb (About 800 CFM) and upgrade to electronic ignition. NO rust, no wrecks, no exhaust, an no damaged glass. What more could you ask for out of a classic Muscle car. ![]() AC Cobra, or Drag racing mid 11 second 390 Fairlane that could probably pick the front wheels off the ground with slicks? ARGHHHHH. ![]() To give you an idea of how quick it is, we raced a New 2000 FireHawk with it. 3 people in the Fairlane, Eric had to double clutched between shifts, spun through all four gears, only had the 65-70 percent of the throttle Open (Carb linkage all out of whack. Found that out two weeks after), with TIming on TDC, and still hung right beside him. ------------------ 64 1/2 "D" code Red Mustang Coupe. 289, C4, Mallory duel point. Ported & Polished 65 heads shaved .01 with 351 valves, 11:1 comp, 1.7:1 rockers, blue wolverine lumpy cam, modified 4100 Hipo 4 barrel. GT Apperance pkg. And to many others to list 2000 Perf Red Mustang GT. 5spd. BBK Underdrive pulleys, Flotech off-road H pipe. Hurst T-Handle, 40 series Flowmasters, Steeda Tri-Ax. Ordered 4:10's. 64 1/2 red 6cyl coupe. Future resto. |

![]() ***** the Cobra get the Fairlane. People are kinda expecting to get beat when racing a Cobra, but every one hates to get beat be a box like a Fairlane. Not to mention they are a totaly awsome car. It's cheaper, just a fast or faster, and muscle car history not a replica.

![]() I love the Fairlane, but I wouldnt sell either of my 64 1/2s for it.
Problem arises when Storgae is concerned. I wouldnt want the car sitting outside all the time. And I would be hard pressed to come up with the money at the moment without selling one of my beloved 64 1/2s. Well at least I dont have to worry about it falling into the wrong hands, my friend said he'd only sell it to me or TIM C. I can save up. ![]() |

![]() Fairlane = 11's, and you'd have it pretty quick. The Cobra is going to take a loooooong time to build, but if your "actually" going to build one I would wait on buying anything else. Also I wouldn't buyit(Fairlane) if you had to sell your stangs.
