Dad had a 1968 2-door with a 429 inch ( 7.0 L ) and C6 autobox. Wonderful machine for a 17 y.o. ( me ) to drive! He got it after I rolled the '67 GTO over an embankment.
'Bird ate fuel, but my did it have power. Loved it!

Kind Regards

I watched the vid till i saw the headlights, front sheetmetal and then the B pillar which told me it was one of the ugly tbird years. Ford lost the plot after 57 .
YUP! I will agree with "Loanrangie" on that they were nice and neat while they were Customline based,then they started to put on weight and get fat like Toyota's Camery :(
That is why the Ford Mustang "Pony Car" was such a hit,small available in 6cyl or V8 and went quite well for it's time,basicaly a Coupe/Convertible on a Falcon platform.
