The 1967 Ford Fairlane was a virtual copy of the 1966 Fairlane
model. The only noticeable changes was a slightly revised grill
and some changes to the exterior trim.
The 390 cid engine was the hot street
combination for the 1966 Fairlane. This engine featured a hi performance
camshaft, custom intake manifold, and a signle four barrel carb.
If you wanted an automatic you had to order the GTA which featured
the Sport Shift Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Such vehicles were
consistent 15 second quarter mile cars.
Interior
The interior of the 1967 was unchanged
from the 1967 model.

which was available in a single 4bbl (W code) rated at 410 hp or
