1967 Ford Fairlane 500 GT 2-Dr. Convertible

The GT convertible offered muscle car performance with top-down excitement. This rare high-performance droptop combined 390 V8 power with open-air motoring.
Model year needs verification: this serial block was also used in 1977. VIN model code 43 was used by both 1967 and 1977 Fords and the VIN does not distinguish them; showing the 1967 interpretation. If this is a 1977 vehicle, verify against the title or body/warranty plate.
