RE: In '67, 427 Fairlane was RPO - no fancy orderi |

You're are correct Mr F! Did you order one? Not many did. The 427 was not heavily promoted. Most dealers did not want to deal with the headaches that came with the 427 powered cars. That even included the Galaxies. I don't believe any dealer would turn down a sale if the money was the there. FoMoCo did not want to deal with the headaches either. That's why every '67 427 Fairlane came with a 90 day warranty plus a couple of pages of disclaimers regarding quality control. And again that $1,000 charge for a 427 was a hefty chunk-o-change for the average Ford buyer in '67.
Yup, no fancy ordering needed. But you had to know what you wanted and have the bucks to back up your desires/needs. |
