Cool! I dig the 66-67 Fairlanes.
It looks like it needs a lot of TLC. And a good wash!
I can't really tell from the pictures but is it a hardtop or a post car? It kind of looks like a hardtop from the one interior shot but I can't tell for sure.

Those hard tops have some nice lines. The roof line just flows on them.
That's a sweet project. How bad is the rust?

That fairlane is an incredible deal just to be sitting in your back woods. I used to have a 66 comet 2 door post car. Same as a fairlane just slightly different sheet metal. It was a small block ford powered drag car. What a seriously neat car. I still wish I had it.
