62 Fairlane Reply #15 – October 08, 2006, 07:17:23 PM Quote from: HAVI;107499a 289, though not original to 62, is a direct bolt in with the 5 bolt bellhousing. 62 221's were black with yellow, 260's were black with orange. Atleast that's how it is in the Mercury Meteors...the Merc's equivalent to the Ford Fairlane.That is correct, but the '62 F'lane got blue V/Cs on the 221 and Argent(silver) on the 260. In '63 221s were blue and 260s were red on both models... The '63 Hi-Po 289s were gold, no std 289s till '64 for the F'lane. Meteors were replaced by Comets for '64... Quote Selected
