Zoom Classic Cars presents this stunning 1967 Ford Thunderbird
Coupe featuring a replacement & rebuilt 428CI/345HP Q Code Engine
which replaced the original 390 Z Code and is coupled with a C6
3-speed SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Engine
sourced from a real 1967 Thunderbird Q Code Car and cam added. A
proper frame-off restoration to this level doesn't happen by
accident-and this 1967 Ford Thunderbird is proof of what happens
when time, expertise, and respect for originality all come
together. The 1967 model year marked a bold evolution for the Ford
Thunderbird. Entering its fifth generation, the Thunderbird moved
further into the personal luxury segment with more sculpted
"fuselage" styling, advanced comfort features, and an emphasis on
effortless power. It was a car designed to compete not just on
performance, but on presence-and nearly six decades later, this
example captures that spirit better than most. This particular
Thunderbird has undergone a comprehensive frame-off restoration to
true museum-quality standards. In fact, restoration specialist from
MI has restored cars for Jay Leno, namely a 1961 Dodge Polara
Canadian version. The attention to detail is immediately evident:
the body retains its original, laser-straight panels with
exceptional fit and finish, dressed in deep black paint accented by
tasteful blue pinstriping. The chrome, trim, and badging are
flawless throughout-each piece restored or preserved to
factory-correct condition. Under the hood sits a beautifully
presented replacement 428 cubic-inch V8, topped with a 4-barrel
carburetor and finished to factory specifications with
aforementioned added cam. The engine bay is immaculate, complete
with correct markings and detailing that replicate its original
showroom appearance. This powerplant is closely associated with the
desirable "Q-code" 428, one of the more potent options available in
1967, rated at approximately 345 horsepower and delivering
substantial torque for effortless cruising. While relatively
limited in production compared to smaller-displacement engines, the
428-equipped Thunderbirds remain highly sought after for their
blend of luxury and muscle-era performance. Power is delivered
through a smooth automatic transmission, reinforcing the
Thunderbird's reputation as a refined grand touring car rather than
a raw muscle machine. Inside, the car features striking blue bucket
seats and a beautifully restored interior that complements the
exterior pinstriping. As expected from a top-tier Thunderbird of
this era, it is loaded with virtually every available power option:
power seats, steering, brakes, antenna, and factory air
conditioning. One of the most iconic features-the swing-away
steering column-operates flawlessly, moving aside for easy entry
and locking securely into place when the door closes. Additional
highlights include: Hideaway headlights functioning exactly as
designed, AM/FM Studiomaster 8 Track Player including the factory
Quadrosonic Sound or Today Demo Tape, spacious trunk with factory
jack equipment and full spare, Dialed-in dual exhaust system, ,
Factory Ford hubcaps with spinners, Every system and feature
operating as it should. The underside of the car is as impressive
as the top-a true testament to the no-expense-spared restoration
featuring all-new suspension components and dual exhaust. This
Thunderbird comes from a private collection of meticulously
maintained vehicles and has been carefully stored in Massachusetts.
It carries a clean title in the owner's name and presents today as
a virtually showroom-new example of one of Ford's most distinctive
personal luxury cars. For collectors who demand correctness,
presence, and mechanical excellence, this 1967 Thunderbird stands
in a class of its own-an immaculate, investment-grade example that
looks today exactly as it did when it first captivated buyers in
the late 1960s. Please call Jeff for more information or to
schedule an appointment to see this stunning Thunderbird. Thanks
for Looking.
