These are scores of web pages and books devoted to one of the first great Fords ever built. Celebrities from Jay Leno to Hugh Laurie pride themselves in owning this battleship sized car.

In 1965 Ford Motor Car Division decided to introduce a new engine. using the FE block from the 352. 360 and 390 ci engines. This new powerplant would sport 428 ci. and would be a high torque. streetable big block. It was dubbed the "Thunderbird 7-Litre " and was slotted to appear on some of the 1966 models. Fords executives decided that what better way to introduce the engine than to create a special marque to showcase it. Using a Galaxie 500. with an XL Interior. some added features and some custom badges. the FORD 7-Litre was born. It was available in either Hardtop or Convertible. in either automatic or 4 speed transmission. Marketed as the "Quietest Quick Car. or the Quickest Quiet Car". the car offered a combination of comfort and muscle. It had available options like Power Steering. Air Conditioning. Power Windows. Power Seats Cruise Control and AM/FM Radio. Available one year only as a separate model. it was also available as an option package on the 1967 model. It is interesting to note that a 1966 XL could be ordered with the 428 for several hundred dollars less. making the 7-Litre that much more rare. as you were paying extra for the badges.

This model was a one owner deceased estate that I bought in Los Angeles a few years ago and in that time I have done. NOTHING. Yes the vinyl is worn but its hard to decide whether to recover the worn areas or simply throw a cover over the front setas and know that nothing has chabged since it was purchased 47 years ago.
