Vehicle Description
STK 2606 1967 Ford Thunderbird
The fifth generation Thunderbird was a relatively large personal
luxury car produced by Ford from 1967 thru 1971 and was a major
change in direction for the model. The introduction of the Mustang
in 1964 had actually challenged Thunderbird's market position as a
sporty 4-seater and sales suffered. Ford's response was to move the
Thunderbird upmarket and emphasize the 'luxury' designation. This
1967 Thunderbird coupe is original except for a single-stage
respray of Wimbledon White. A black vinyl top in excellent
condition and plenty of chrome compliment the classic lines. It
should be noted that there is some minor cracking of the white
finish in a few spots. The black vinyl interior of this luxury
coupe is in very good condition. It is nicely equipped with air
conditioning, tinted windows, AM/FM radio, full gauge package and
remote driver's mirror. In addition, for ease of entry and exit,
the entire steering wheel assembly slides 10" to the right. There
is a crack in the dash pad, but overall the dash is in excellent
original condition. Horsepower is furnished by a 390ci Thunderbird
Special V-8 engine that outputs 315bhp with single 4-barrel
carburetor and 10.5:1 compression. The big FE motor runs superbly
and the current owner believes that it has never been rebuilt. It
is backed by Ford's classic 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic
transmission and factory differential with stock gearing. Power
steering and power disc/drum brakes were included as standard
equipment. White-wall radial tires are mounted on factory steel
wheels with original spinner hubcaps and the dual exhaust system
w/cross-over pipe appears to be a recent upgrade. There are very
few of these classic Thunderbirds around for the serious Ford
hobbyist, far fewer in this original condition. This Blue Oval
belongs in your collection. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
