RE:Saphire Blue Special
By jim paschen - 04/22/2002 11:45:05 AM; IP 64.118.135.132
My Fairlane is a GT 4 speed with a Hurst shifter. The black interior, console, headliner, dashpad are all in great shape. I still have the 3.25 rearend that came out of the car. It is the third one that was in the car. The original owner wore the first one out while it was still under warranty. I wore the second one out in 1972. My Dad worked at Ford and took the pig in to get it rebuilt. The guy on the asssembly line said it looked like the rearend had either 100,000 miles on it or a lot of holeshots. Since the car only had 48,000 miles on it, it was very obvious what the problem was. They ended up building me a new 3.25 and installed a traction lock in it instead of the original limited slip. The car also originally came with an air lift system on the rear springs. It has leaf springs with coil springs and air bags. The Ford Performance guide tells you to add more air in the rh side to improve traction. These things never worked very well and made the car ride rougher than a lumber wagon. I will probably be taking them off during the restoration. I was wondering if anyone has ever used the subframe connectors and traction bars which are made by Southside Machine. There products look superior compared to the competetion. I think they were the original company that developed the rear suspension on the T-Bolts for 1964. Just wondering if anyone has ever installed them on a 66-67 Fairlane and if they work well.
This thread, so far...
