Re: '67 Rcode 427 Comet
I'm a little late to this thread, but here goes.
If you haven't done so already, go to FordFE.com, which will link you to a Network 54 forum. A gentleman named Peter Wilson frequents that site. His ID will show up as either "pmw" or "Peter". He has an R code Comet but more importantly, he's totally focused on these '66/'67 427 Comets and Fairlanes. He is to them what Marlin is to Deuces. You give him a color and general area, and he can usually come back with the selling dealer, who campaigned it, how its optioned, and the VIN. And, like Marlin, he shares his information with like minded people. Do look him up there. A search for "R code Fairlane" should get you a bunch of hits. If you have trouble, PM me and I'll try to get you his contact info.
Your best reference car is proably the 1,998 mile black on tan R-code 202 that Dick Bridges owns/(owned?). Car is said to be outstanding in its originality and detail, but I haven't seen it up close.
Finally, I have access to a couple of reference quality R-code Fairlanes (a '66 and a '67) that I can go look at if you think that could be of help to you.
Best of luck to your restoration efforts, please post pics when done!
