#12 — 1967 Ford Wagon with 428, 4-Speed & Buckets?! — The Story of 7U74Q143183

Hello, and welcome back to the “Yours in old FoMoCo iron” YouTube channel! My name is Adrian Clements, and in video #12 we’re going to do a deep-dive on a unique “1 of 1” 1967 Ford Country Squire Dual-Facing Rear Seats (or DFRS) 4-door station wagon with Vehicle Identification Number (or VIN) 7U74Q143183. What makes this patina’d old Ford wagon so special, you ask? Well, a few things. First of all, the fact that it is the ONLY factory 4-speed Country Squire station wagon built for the 1967 model year! Not only that, but powering this car is a factory Q-code “428 Thunderbird 7-Litre V-8” 345 hp engine, and the car was factory-built with XL-type bucket seats and console! I was fortunate enough to own this car from early September 2001 through mid-October 2016 and had A LOT of fun with the old girl over the years. Now it’s time for The Story of 7U74Q143183 — let’s get started!
