| The only veh a R engine was avail in 66 Was the Fairlane 500 but you had to be a racer to get one when Magazines started to have articles about them the 50 or so were already sold. In 67 you could get a 427 in a Fairlane 500 hd tp, xl 500 and the 2dr post. In the Mercury line they were avail in the 202 sedan 22 were built, The cyclone 19 R codes & 8 W codes, The caliente of which 4 were built (I owned 1 of the 4),and 6 Capri R codes and one Capri W code for a total of 60 cars. These could be ordered from your local dealer. Hard to sell tho as the 427 engine option alone was 1129.00 & a mandatory 4spd for another 189.00 my car new was 4003.90 that was a lot of cash back then but not much could catch them! I will try to dig up a pic of car. Its on a rottiserie now as I am giving the undercarriage a detail and repainting the engine bay. All chrome,trim,interior inc seats,carpet,dash are all orginal along with all weatherstrips,glass very unmolested car it probably has the most documentation of all 60 cars built. rh (I owned it the first time when I was 21 it had just turned 12,000 miles & I bought it for 1500.00 I just bought it back this april for slightly more!)I sold the car Jan 1st of 83 so it was gone for a little over 17yrs to same person I sold it to. I just bought it from his estate. |
