This 66Ford Fairlane XL is a restomod. It is not a trailer queen. I built it to drive and have fun with. It is fast and reliable, always garaged, never in the rain or snow. Every major part has been replaced (373 Pos rear end/Ford 9”), engine is new 351W/393 complete (built by Keith Craft), new front end/PST, and new Tremac TKO 600. All work was done by professional mechanics. There is no rust, the floor pans are original and solid. This Fairlane can be driven anywhere without fear of overheating.
