Not sure but it looks a lot like a car that belonged to Ohioan Jim Plavney at one time.

I remember hearing that in 1967--you could not get a 427/425 in a convertible model:confused:

I wonder what happened to the 500 Emblems and the Gold 500 side moldings the car had when Dick ran it ?

I wonder if it is reallly rough some way up close-a rust free midwestern Fairlane convertible is ALWAYS worth 18 k regardless of engine, in todays world.

Always controversy on low production cars. The story I have known for quite awhile is that Ford made 3 (Three) 427 Fairlane rag tops but Ford wont admit it.. Dont know if they all 3 had 2X4's or one four? Simons car is one/was one. His car and a friend of mine here in Florida has one in his garage with the correct title matching "R" code data plate but its in pretty rough shape and no engine or trans. Dont know if Simons car is an "R" code car or not??? I always thought the R code meant 2X 4's???? He is restoring it with a pump gas friendly 427 side oiler for the street but dosent care if it a real one or not. He is just a "Ford" guy with a couple of 55-57 T-Birds, another GTA 390 Fairlane, etc. and likes the way it looks. Wont sell it either. He has some paper work on it and is supposed to have spoken to Simon long ago about it. Who knows where the 3 rd one is today or if there is/was one. One old story is that it was raced on the street when new and crashed. Probibly destroyed if it ever existed?
