ClassicCar

Hello everyone. As you can tell I am new here.

I may have an opportunity to aquire what I believe is a 1966 Fairlane 500. I believe it to be a 66 because I am fairly certain that it has drum brakes. This particular car has been sitting for quite some time and will need a complete retoration. I personaly do not posess the means or the patience nessesary for such a project, I am only trying to save a wonderful classic from the scrap crusher. Upon my initial inspection, I found that the hood was missing. Other than that, all sheet metal seems to be straight and rust free. It seems as though the headlights, taillights,all glass and emblems are still intact. The front windows were rolled down so the interior is completely shot.



My questions are as follows.

Is this car worth saving? Will I be able to find someone interested in restoring the car?



Was the Fairlane ever available with a 351 engine? There are emblems on the front fenders that say 351. All my research thus far does not show that Fairlanes were ever offered with a 351.

Would these emblems be factory installed or installed by a previous owner?

I would appreciate any help given.
