In 1963 the 427 FE debuted as a top-oiler (and as a side-oiler two years later) but Ford, trying to conform to changing NASCAR rules, created the single-overhead cam (SOHC) 427 in 1964, but it was soon banned by NASCAR. Gary Spratling, a California-based gearhead all his life, having drag-raced various FE-equipped models (including Thunderbolts) for a Ford dealership, loved the '66 Fairlane as soon as he saw it. The black, charcoal, and ash gray leather was stitched together over LizardSkin insulation by Spotlight Customs, and a leather-wrapped 350mm MOMO Jet steering wheel and Unisteer steering helps Gary stay on course.
