Oddball 1967 Fairlane not in the guide

[Rory McNeil]

Although the 66 Fairlane GT/GTA were all equipped with the S code 390 engine, you could get a 289 in a 67 GT/GTA. However, unlike the 66 &67 GT 390 engine, the 289 engine did not have any special parts, no different than a non GT engine.

So Rory, if I remember correct, it wasn't even a 4bbl engine? So it would have just been a 'C' code car. Would it have single exhaust also? Pretty sad deal all around. For what it's worth, my brother had a '67 390 GTA and in stock form it was less than impressive performance wise, ran low 15's.

You could get it with a 2bl or 4bl

I don't see the 289 4 bbl. in any Fairlanes in 67.

Mustangs and Falcons, yes.

Okay..fair enough.

Mark, although you could get a 390 2 barrel in a 67 Fairlane, it was not available in the GT or GTA model. The 390 2 barrel, and the Z code non GT 390 4 barrel were available in the Fairlane, Fairlane 500, and 500XL versions, but the GT model had the S code 390 engine. The S engine (GT) had a Holley carb and the same cam as the 428CJ, the Zcode engine had a smaller cam and Autolite carb.
As for the 289 67 Fairlane GTs, I think they were not that common, I have only seen 1, and it was a 2 barrel car.
