    Just saw this today, Rambler. A special-ordered wagon very much like yours, only a year older and with a 4-speed instead of your automatic....


    [FONT=Tahoma,arial,verdana]1967 428 4-SPEED COUNTRY SQUIRE[/FONT]
    [​IMG][​IMG]

    [FONT=TOHAMA,ARIAL,COMIC SANS MS]A 428 Q-code Country Squire might not sound that rare, but how about one with a 4-speed toploader and buckets and console!? This is Adrian Clement's extremely rare '67 Country Squire wagon, one of one produced. This combination was not available, unless of course you wrote a letter to Iacocca requesting the order, which is exactly what the original owner did. Iacocca obliged, and the order was processed. Never say never when it comes to Fords! Check out more shots at Adrian's motorcitygalaxieclub.com website. TRUE or FALSE??....TRUE! [/FONT]




    Here's the link where this comes from....

    DANG! That is awesome!
    Is that Blue tint in the rear winders?
    And of course the magic words: "Cobra Jet"
    It's the stuff of dreams.
    Congrats man.
