The owner's mom bought this for herself as a college graduation present. She drove it for 10 years, and then parked it for 20 years until giving it to the current owner after his car got crashed into. Just a great story.
We all love the underappreciated daily drivers. But it can be really refreshing to hear about some solid long term appreciation for a car, not taken to excess.
Almost the same car that had Eric Bana's father! http://imcdb.org/images/252/052.jpg By the way, I strongly recommend his "Love the Beast" film about he and his car, a gorgeus Ford Torino Coupe from the seventies.
Got a fire engine red - T - bird automobile. In a minute or less I can be dressed fit to kill. I work 24 on, 24 off. When they get too hot, they just give me a call. I'm the fireman, that's my name.
Well they call me the fireman, that's my name. Making my rounds all over town, putting out old flames. Well everybody'd like to have a what I got. I can cool 'em down when they're smold'ring hot. I'm the fireman, that's my name.
Best of OPC.

Absolutely gorgeous. Shame about the missing trim piece on the rocker panel.

Fun fact for the day the 1967 Ford Thunderbird has the same wheelbase as a midsize Chevy Chevelle of the same year.
