    Here is the build specs for the 1967 Ford Falcon Futura station wagon. I had no idea it was so rare. If you go by the numbers, it is more rare than the 1967 corvette.

    Keep in mind, total production numbers are one part of the equation. Optional equipment is the other. Back in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, when cars came with options available, not just option packages, it was not unusual for a buyer to custom order just the equipment they wanted, and wait for the car to be built for them. I have had 2 new cars, and that is what I did both times. You may have a one-of-one if that was a custom order wagon, not bought out of dealer stock.

    Man! Don't pee on my parade! I can't do nothing in this house!!! I also know that if this is an ordered car, it is a rare one. No radio. No heater. No carpet. Just floor mats on hard floor. Bare bones to the max. it does however have a 325-1 true trak 8 inch factory differential. Dealer stock? Maybe but rare none the less. So NYAA!!:beaten:

    LMAO!!!
    We drove to Salem and back to pick-up Annie's '68 wagon, Orygun's weather sucked alright. Funny thing, we left Crescent City it was sunny, it was raining at Cave Junction and it was down right cold in the Williamette Valley. The trip home was the same, we exited the tunnel into sunshine, didn't see that up north.
    Dave, didn't go to Washington, it is worse.

    I wasn't raining on your parade. I was meaning that what you have is RARER than the production numbers would suggest. Yours may well be a one of one as built. Bare bones to the max with the limited slip is not likely a stock unit. Enjoy and good luck with that wonderful old wagon.

    The Standard Catalog of Ford shows that in '67 you could get "Magic-Aire heater delete, except with air conditioning, $71.85 credit".

    91-92 Custom Cruisers are rarer than Henways.:)
    My '92 is a one of one according to the Compnine report.
    What that's worth and a buck will buy me anything off the dollar menu at any Mickey D's all day long.:D

    I don't know about that true trac not being stock? I had had a couple wagons from ford that had true tracs in em and they were an option for the towing package on the car.

    By stock, I meant as in dealer ordered car for their stock. I'm sure it was factory fitment, but the car was likely a special order, one of one, for a specific customer.

    My Astre Panel Express was one of 421 built in 1973. That is pretty rare.
