The block is also a service block that is not numbers matching to the car. Most of the engine parts are there including the medium-rise heads and dual quad intake. What’s the logic in that? The engine has been disassembled and the cylinders were found to have rust pitting. However, it sounds as if the engine was never running or installed in the car and left outside under a tarp. The Engine apparently was modified and built as a stroker using a 428 crank and complete when the seller got the car. This car has its share of pros and cons, it’s largely original but the drain train is removed and the engine is a non-matching number 427 service block that is completely disassembled. The first being the buyer that ordered the car special with the sole intention of going racing, the second is a Mustang buyer being steered toward this Hot Rod Fairlane that’s been sitting on the lot. I can picture two scenarios of when these cars were new. How cool it must have been to purchase this new, drive it to the track and run 13 second plus/minus quarter-mile times than drive it home. Check it out here on eBay in Granite Falls, WA with bidding up to $45,000 at the time of writing. This makes it easy to realize the importance of the car and the effect it had on drag racing in the sixties. Power comes from the legendary 427 side oiler with dual quad carburetors connected to a stout 4 speed top loader transmission. The Ford Fairlane 500XL 427 is an important piece of automotive history. Looks can be deceiving, this rather normal-looking Fairlane is in fact an extremely rare factory-built race car.
