It cost about eleven thousand. It took me about 2 years to do. A year to track the parts and the other year putting it together. I lived in Salt Lake at the time. I lived in St George Utah. I had suthelands do the body work and paint it and I had the bumpers taken off and rechromed and another company did the interior. Rags to Riches. It was about four thousand for the paint and body and about 3200.00 on the interior and all the other misc things I did to it like the wheels and mechanics and all that. I really don:t know any restorers. That was back in 1996 when I had all that done. I hope you find some one. Karen

I have one that needs restored. Live in Los Angeles area. Can you give me an idea of what it cost you to restore? Did you do it all at once, or over a long period of time? If you live in area, do you know of any restorers in area. Has less than 60,000 miles on it and would love to get it up and running again. Thanks for any info.

I bought a new 67 GTA Fairlane with the 390 engine. It was fun to drive with a lot of torque. It was black and red interior. In those days if you got 40,000 miles on one it was time to buy another. So I ordered what I thought was one of a few of the new Mach One’s. Wromg!!! There was a million of us out there.

A truly awsome car, one of which I owned back in 1970 when I was in high school. Have owned many muscle cars through the years, but the best of times were the days with my 428 SCJ Fairlane Cobra. Thanks for the memories
