Mator,in ’67’ I had a 63 T/bird ‘Landau’ with the ‘swing’ away steering column.Nice ride,attracted the ladies,however,kinda thirsty on gas.I always liked the lines of the body,and interior was rich looking.

…….so it s back to work on the 62 T-Bird ❗ plenty of rain today 😡 ,so good as any day to do rebuild work ,so fuel pump refurbusing was topic of the day ❗ ,cleaned the grease off of it and into the glasbeader and “presto” ❗ just like new 😀 cleaned everything off again and painted the filter cover and already had a “Original Ford repair kit for the Carter X 😎 fuel pump ❗ ……. will likely travel down to Somers area and pick up the 390 Bird and bring it to the garage so the new gas tank and fuel lines can go in and then go over the brakes 😯 ……….
