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 deepdive on a unique “1 of 1” 1967 Ford Country Squire DualFacing Rear Seats (or DFRS) 4door 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 4speed Country Squire station wagon built for the 1967 model year! Not only that, but powering this car is a factory Qcode “428 Thunderbird 7Litre V8” 345 hp engine, and the car was factorybuilt with XLtype bucket seats and console! I was fortunate enough to own this car from early September 2001 through midOctober 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!

Yours in old FoMoCo iron,

Adrian
