Ford Vs Chevrolet: Five Of The Best Restomods From Each Marque

November 7, 2017

Ford Fairlane

The Ford Fairlane is a car that was made with the rivalry in mind. A competitor to the Chevrolet Nomad, it was a great sedan in its day, and since then restomodders have been getting nastier and nastier with it. This 1967 Fairlane racer is the culmination of their efforts. Its creator, Stephen Strope, wanted to create the ultimate 1967 Ford racer, taking Ford parts from the time and melding them together into this beauty of a Frankenstein’s monster. A 427 SOHC V8 has been fitted and mated to a four-speed transmission, with aluminum wheels that have been modeled on the lauded Lamborghini Miura.

When a car is loud enough to set off not just one, but a string of car alarms? Well, you’re probably in for a treat (or a chase from annoyed drivers.) The car’s also been fitted with an active air wing, and inside, the big old original dash has been ripped out and replaced with a simple selection of gauges. The whole thing is an homage to the golden era of Ford racing, and it’s one of the coolest restomods I’ve seen in a very long time.
