Dear Bob, your comment is an honour. We are fully aware of you and your 60s races at the Nürburgring and Spa and other places. Lots about and of you in the Cobra Ferrari Wars book. When over to Europe, let us know and you will have a go in the car. Glad this video made your day. the 60s make ours. Barney and Fred

Sweet music!!

Very first car I drove was a 65 Galaxie 500. This video is EPIC!

@batvette And some scamming douchebags are trying to ruin it for everyone. Save the Ring!

Epic hoonage. Screw drag racing, this is dozens times more awesome and better sounding too.

Also, top speed's often overrated. Being able to reach 400 kph will do you no good if you can't keep a good average around corners.

no replacement for displacement :)

[blackXSpr]

Air resistance is a huge factor at those speeds, making a car like this unlikely if not impossible to reach such speeds. The Bugatti Veyron needed the power of a small hatchback added to it JUST to add another 6 or so MPH to it's top speed.

The reason its in Km/H? This is a custom built car for modern racing. Underneath, that is hardly recognizable as a Fairlane.

Considering it was built to race on a European circuit like the Nurburging I dont know why it WOULD be in MPH

[SpainishArcher]

@blackXSpr " Fireball Roberts " drove a '64 Ford Fairlane w. a 427 in Nascar and he never reached speeds beyond the low 220s mph.before he was killed.

Still gets me why a US car would be showing km-h as it's speed unless it was a made for EU audience video.

[blackXSpr]

@SpainishArcher Yes, of course.

Its laughable to think a car with the aerodynamic properties of a brick with I assume less than 800hp can break 220mph much less 260mph.
