guys the owner told me it was a late model 66 meaning it was built closer to 67. I took a pic of the plate that was in the door jam. I forgot to get the vin # though and my camera is messed up so the pic of the door jam is off but you can see that in the slot for the year of the car you can see it ends with a 6 meaning 1966. I forgot to get the VIN off of it but if somebody is really interested I can walk up there and ask my neighbor what it is. It seems to be a solid car and I think it looks slick with that color on it. I would buy it myself but my wife would kick me out of the house if I dragged another car home right now. I got my hands full with a 64 and a 65 fairlane right now and no space or $ for another. The transmission issue like mentioned above might be a blown vac modulator or it might just need an adjustment and fluid change. For $1500 I thought it was a deal so if I can't have the car I would hope somebody on FM picks it up so we can see a resto progress thread on it. This car has potential...
