WTB '66 or '67 R Code Fairlane

[tom406]

Would an R-code '67 Comet work? Basically a '67 Fairlane with just a real light swipe from the ugly stick. There's an excellent Capri Hardtop (1 of 6 I think) here in the NW. Also, the guy who is probably the ultimate guru of these cars is selling his restored 202 2dr post (1 of 22). I think both are wanting close to six figures, but I can get contact info if you'd like.

Hi Tom;

Tom -

Think I've seen the ad for one of the Comets on Woody's Fairlane site. I holding out for a Fairlane at this point.

I would "settle" for a '64 Thunderbolt, but not holding my breath on finding one of those for less than 6 figures.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott:
Would you find a original 67 R Fairlane for less than 6 figures?? I am not a ford follower and don't know the market bit seem to recall a 67 in Flordia going in the 6 figure range.

I'm not sure what a concours restored one would sell for; can't recall seeing one for sale. I would settle for a driver, an older resto, project, etc.

Looks like a '66 R Code sold at B-J for $43,000, but that was 2001. A quick internet search didn't turn up anything else.

Hi Scott:
I am not sure either. I don't follow fords regularily. However I remember my friend having one of the original 67 side oilers.I forget now one of sixty something I think he used to say made in the 67 fairlane.She was modified some what with 12.1 compression vs 11.1 and some other vintage speed shop items. I can honestly say it was the only car I have ever driven that scared me and I have driven a lot of the high HP cars with the exception of a ZL-1.No ls-6, l-88 or hemi would touch her when she hooked up right. I still get goose bumps just thinking of that animal.
All the best in your search.
