I used to have a red 66 Fairlane GT. It was a nice car and got a lot of attention, good and bad.
The 390 was swapped out for a really strong Cleavland motor. It was too much motor for the car. It was way too fast for the brakes and handling. I had repetitive nightmares about wrecking and killing myself in it.
I still have that motor, one day I will find the right car for it.

I had a 67 galixie 500 XL fastback with a 390 4bl, 79 black and gold TA 6.6L, a 71 olds cutlass 455 w/ hurst package, an 89 GTA firebird, and an 85 stang with a 351w that had the renegade 427 stroker crank and a 5 speed. Also a couple of old trucks with big blocks and a slew of cool bikes. Everyone of them were FAST.....


I just want any one of those back:cry: What the HE!! happened to me?????

I had 7 Ford Capris but 2 stick in the mind a 1.6 sport done to fast road spec and a 2.0 sport.
But never a 2.8 Injection:cry:
The last version was the 280 Brooklands limited edition but they are like hens teeth.
I had 2 mates that put the Rover V8 3.5 In Capris more power and a much lighter engine those things would fly!

:agree2:

I used to love those 2.8 injections. I still see a mint example every now and again.

Apart from the over powered power steering!
I had a A bracket on the back of 2 of mine and the handling was great.
The 16 Sport had lowered uprated rear leafs Spax shoks all round, Twin anti roll bars and the front suspension geometry was changed I moved the wheels forward and the strut tops moved closer together:)
