Is there a list somewhere of the surviving 427 light weight Fairlanes? I believe Rich Lorenze from Brazil Indiana had one. I drive through that town once a month and Lorenze Auto Repair is still there. I'm going to stop one day and see if they have any photos around that I can scan if no one else has any.

I am guessing this is the Jerry Harvey Fairlane, but not sure if the paintwork is correct for the 67 Super Stock Nationals. I did not know this car or the Ireland car were in attendance. I learned something today! I guess the '66 cars were rated at less weight to run in SS/B over the '67 Fairlanes?

Mike,

Good Hunting.

In 1966, only a few 'Sedans' were built.

On the 1966,

Here is Bill Ireland running his 1966 Fairlane 500

Tommy D,

Here's a 1966 running in SS/BA at Dover Drag Strip in 1967.

Richie Marcy bought his new, as a 4-Speed. But, he couldn't stop
missing shifts, and blew the 427 Wedge up 'three times'.

They brought it back to the Ford Dealership {Carmel Ford, New York}
and they swapped in a Fairbanks C-6.

That did the 'trick'.

Rich Lorenze passed away a year or so back....but his son Tony has the Fairlane and his 63 Galaxy.

Whoa,

I have photo's of Hubert running in 'SS/C' in 1967 with the
1967 Ford Fairlane 500 'Georgia Shaker' sponsored by Paul Harvey Ford.

Shoe-polished on the Windshield at the 1967 NHRA Winternationals.

How can this be ............

As you can see here, Hubert is campaigning the 1967 Fairlane 500, which was
heavier than the 1966 cars.

[69hurstsc]

Hubert did not campaign the car at the 67 Winternationals. The car was ran at the 68 Winternationals and was dropped a class down to SS/C.

Here you can clearly see the car ran SS/B at the Super Stock Nationals. Notice the line scraped through the lettering breaking up the "B". Though, if you peer through the glass and onto the windshield you can clearly see the reversed "B" on the glass.

Joel also took this photo at the same event and you can see what I'm talking about in the above paragraph.
