looks great bardahl... what's the story

 

Nice looking 67, I like that year Ford. So, what's the scoop Bardahl?

 

Trick photography! That thing is brand spankin new.

 

They still make Bardahl???? :confused:

 

Gee, I thought that it was a "leftover" still sitting in the showroom. Wow!

 

Wow, absolutely stunning '67. Can't wait to hear the story behind it. One of the nicest '60's Squire I've seen in a while. You can never go wrong with a white Country Squire.

 

Wow, isn't that a beauty! I wish my cargo hold was in that nice condition (one day, one day...).
Congrats on a fine Ford find.

Dr. B, thanks !!, the 67 Squire was a CL find, I found it North of Seattle and I (we) are the 3rd owners, it is a 390 2bbl, cruiseomatic, it has, PS,PDB,A/C and deluxe comfort and convienece package, remote drivers mirror,and is a 10 passenger, the car is all original including paint and interior,(although I think someone has tried to refresh the dark woodgrain in places), the car has zero rust w/the exception of a 3/4" spot on the bottom rear of both back doors (not through to the inside and I`m taking it in today to get these repaired) and the inside luckily only the inside of the bottom of the tailgate, Items that are not working are the gas gauge(its the sending unit ) and after we got it home the motor on tailgate window is not engaging to the regulator or the gear is stripped?? this is my 8 or ninth wagon and is my first ford although I have been looking for a 64 or 65 Falcon Squire , or a 64 fairlane squire for some time, this is a Gem to say the least, possibly going to wrap a nice set of vintage (non polished set of Torque thrust with a set of wide blackwalls soon ??? it needs a little flare !, drove it home at 60-70 mph for 200 miles and enjoyed it all the way as it purrred like a new car, I also have w/it every service and repair receipt that has ever been done to it its whole life right down to plug wires,front end rebuilds,transmission rebuild, rear end, it has just under 200K on it but you would never know it by how it looks and drives, thats the story. And yes Bardahl is still made but in europe and its still pretty big over there.

 

The Squire is a 2 owner,(making me the 3rd), the original owner owned it 41 years,the previous 3, it is 100% original paint that shines really well still, I have every receipt of every little thing right down to plug wires,oil changes and everything, and the original invoice too ! it is a power disc brake model, A/C, PS,Remote drivers mirror(things that do not work besides tailgate window (that did when I got it) are gas gauge (its the sending unit) A/C is all there but the belt is off?? and that's it, the interior is unbelievable too, it has a 3/4 " slit in the drivers door panel, the rest is very very nice, (except the kick panels, but I have located one and will find another), I have just located some kick panels as i cannot quite figure out what happened to the trailing edge of them??, the only rust anywhere on the car is on the rear bottom of both rear doors and its going in today to have those fixed, and the inside (only inside) of the tailgate and I will coat that with black rid rust before it goes back together; i drove the car 200 mis. home at 60-70 mph and it did not miss a beat, it rides and drives as new seriously, I could not be happier,Thats the story; And yes bardahl is still pretty widely used in Europe; Bardahl

 

Beautiful 67, it looks new

 

I remember Bardahl. Bardahl. Super clean looking wagon. Many didn't look that good in 1967.

 

Where's Bardahl? Get on here and tell us about your gem. C'mon, we're all anxious to hear the details.

 

This is like a new TV promotion. We have to stay tuned till this Winter.
