Vehicle Description
Offered here is a family-owned, 100-percent original, and
low-mileage 1967 Ford Thunderbird Tudor 2-Door Landau for your
consideration. This is one of the most original and documented cars
we've ever had for sale. Alice Kalash (April 9, 1927 - May 27,
2013) of Grosse Ile, Michigan purchased this car brand new from
Southgate Ford in 1967 and subsequently had it serviced there for
decades to come, keeping ALL the receipts. More importantly, she
kept the original sales documentation, original build sheet,
original keys, original owners manual, and even the original Ford
Thunderbird promotional brochure. It only has 55k original miles on
it today.
The car stands today wearing the original Arcadian Blue (code F)
paint over the original Dark Blue (code 2B) vinyl seats. Both
exterior and interior surfaces remain in excellent condition,
especially considering they have never been tampered with. The car
is powered by the original, numbers matching 390ci/315hp 4bbl V8
engine mated to an automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. It
starts, runs, and drives like the day Mrs. Kalash purchased the
car. The only service the car has needed over the years have been
new tires, brakes, exhaust and manifold, fuel pump, and a fully
rebuilt motor in 2016.
1967 marked the first year of the fifth generation Thunderbird and
debuting in the space age, the styling and features are the car are
evident. These include the swing-away steering wheel, hidden
headlights, cockpit-like bucket seats, acceleration lever dashboard
switches, cylinder gauges, and the sequential rear turn signals,
all of which function as they should. The car also has air
conditioning, spare tire and jack, and the original plastic still
remains on the rear seat belts. This car is what you consider a
survivor. It is a true collector car being preserved in one family
with low miles and all original documentation and receipts. It is
also the same exact car featured in Ford's Soaring 60's promotional
poster. Check it out.
