One of the coolest Ford's I've ever seen! Love the whole understated theme of the build.
Hi senatorlou II, Glad this one is a Winner for you :-) Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
The '67 is also my favorite of the three. I always loved those vertical headlamps that were so popular during that time period. Great sleeper!

I agree, we had a powder blue Custom 500 when I was little, a high-end one with nice hubcaps and 289 engine.
I OWNED THIS CAR!!! AND DROVE FROM DC TO FAIRBANKS ALASKA WITH IT!
IN 1980
Hi Daniel, Happy to read you had this car for awhile :-) Lou
I was a cop in 1967 - I had a '67 Fod Custom with the 428, had it over 150 mph a couple of times. Fastest car I ever drove

Jeff is an all-time class act. He never ceases to amaze by taking overlooked or unloved cars and turning them into something truly special.
Well said Demian Kolb :-)
I had the pleasure of owning a 67 2 door that was canary yellow with a black top. It was sold in Sullivan county Ny. It had a 289 with a fmx transmission that I had rebuilt in Monticello,Ny. I obtained it with 33,000 miles on it in 1994, drove it only in summertime. When sold it had 98,000 miles on it. That was my car.

Soft-spoken Jeff Schwartz would be my first port of call if I was ever in the market for improving the chassis and drivetrain of an older American car. I suspect Jeff has only scratched the surface when discussing the work that went into preparing this beauty.
Yeah, he was pretty quiet about all that was done to the car. Since he is someone that works to improve handling of the older cars, the reason they start with the chassis, I would have liked to see the suspension upgrades that were done. I am sure there are some pretty impressive horsepower and torque numbers in there as well. That 427 ci engine, with a fuel injection setup looking like a dual 4-barrel carburetor, likely doesn't have the magic stop there.
Hi Andrew Graham, Here's a couple of Jeff builds for you to enjoy, Lou czcams.com/video/hEk8qFLNJJs/video.html & czcams.com/video/Ho1uEifCVBg/video.html

Mr Costabile, keep the good stuff rolling. Thank you for the good coverage of the old cars, and the no-BS approach.

Keep up the good work

My absolute favourite Ford. I have a 67 Custom "big six" with three on the tree here in the UK and I adore it. Totally standard and matching numbers with build sheet and purchase invoice from new. Smooth as silk, it's like driving my sofa.

@@loucostabile Subbed and bell hit Lou. I'm looking forward to your videos. 👍
My dad bought a 65 Ford Custom with "Fords All New 150 HP 240 Big Six". This was the first year for the 240 and my dad had nothing but trouble with it. Main issue was with the head gasket. With such a long engine the head would twist apart from the block and oil would mix in with the coolant. However these "teething" problems were soon fixed and eventually the 240/300 Ford six became one of the best engines Ford ever made.
I wish I could give you more than one thumbs up. I bought a 67 custom 2dr 289 three on the tree back in 1971, Still own it today. When I was in high school I put 4 barrel, dual exhaust and 4 speed. GREAT CAR !!!!
Hi Dale Ostrom, Glad you like this one, and you' have a great car too. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I'm a Mopar guy but I absolutely love this car. Always been a big fan of 60's full size sleepers like this and the solid lifter 409, L78 396, and L72 427 powered Chevy Biscayne's and Bel Air's. Never cared much for bright paint colors, stripes, spoilers, consoles , bucket seats, and fancy wheels and trim. Most of that stuff just adds weight to the car and draws unwanted attention. The only options that matter to me are the ones that actually make the car faster. This is exactly my style of muscle car
Hi Jeremy, High praise for this car :-) Lou
Used to take a 70 charger R/T 440 Magnum, just eat them ol ford up.
Gorgeous Ford...the cream of the crop and thank you Lou. :-)
Hi Ed B., "Cream of the crop". High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
that sound is such a beautiful sound of the engine i could listen too it all day
:-)
Thats one beautiful 67 Ford Custom 500 2 Door man and that 468 FE Stroker is a pure beast.
Glad you enjoy this one CJ Colvin :-)
1967 Ford is a very nice car. I like it. Thanks LOU for sharing this video. This is a very reliable car. Thanks LOU for sharing this video. I enjoyed watching it please have a great day.

Hi Gene Still, Glad you enjoy the build :-) Would you like to hear it run? Enjoy! Lou czcams.com/video/_wR-WTO2lrU/video.html
OH EM GEEE that is a gorgeous 'ole muscle car! I've always been a fan of Galaxie & Fairlane 500s, but never knew there was a Custom 500" until now.
Sweet video Mr Lou!
Hi Joel Williams, A olde and a goodie :-) Glad you like this one. Me too, Lou
The Custom 500 was Ford’s version of the Chevy Biscayne
Their base car was the Custom, then the Custom 500. The Custom didn't have side trim.
Just furthers my belief Ford absolutely builds a better car then General Motors or Mopar they never built a 67 Chevrolet or a 67 Plymouth as cool as this old blue Ford
Oh the memories Lou. What a beautiful Car and a lot of work Jeff did here. He must be gleaming with pride. I use to love the '65 model the best out of the '60's models and not so much the '66 model and again over time the '66 really grew on me and the '67 became my least fav. But how can you not like this one. AWESOME! THANK YOU LOU
Hi Gene978, Good times, good time :-) Thank you for sharing. You're welcome, Lou
Awesome I found it. I have a 67 Custom as well
Hi Carl, Happy to read this car you have a cool car too :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile While only a 289 auto I want mine to have the same stance as yours. I love the tire wheel combo and wish mine was a 3 on the tree but it is clean, rust free from the south and 68K original. Mine is Dark Moss green.
Excellent restoration. Like the fuel injection upgrade to the 427 and the Tremec 6 speed manual replacing 3 on the tree. Because the owner said he was hoping for 18 mpg on the open road, would recommend rear end at 3.23 max and nothing above it. Putting in a 3.07 or even 2.93 rear gears will really help mpg numbers. (It will also raise top speed not that that is really important.)
Hi John, Happy to read "Excellent restoration." :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou
LOVE this car...
Hi Mike Hawk, High praise, nice! Hope you see many other cars on the Channel you'll enjoy too, Lou
Nice, simple car with one of the best engines made by Ford. The owner knows which mods to do to improve the mileage without hurting the power, nice sleeper!, Thanks Lou!
Hi Pablo Cespedes, Glad you like this one :-) Me too. Thank you for sharing a comment. You're welcome, Lou
Gotta love those old cars. So damn big the car has 3 different sound zones.
Hi Thomas Paglione, Glad you enjoy this one :-) Hope you see many more cars you'll enjoy, Lou
Absolutely awesome!!!!
Hi thomas vess, High praise for this car :-) Hope you see many more cars on this CZcams Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Love this car, my first new car and I bought it myself, was a 1968 Ford Falcon with a 289 three speed and it was loaded with options, an AM radio and a heater. I traded it in on a new 71 Cyclone, one of my neighbors ended up with it in 1980. It was still in good shape, I was debating buying it back when some idiot rear ended him and totaled it out. This Custom is just way cool, and the sound of the engine is incredible.
Hi roy gunter, Glad you "love this car" :-) Lou
What a Sleeper! As long as you cover up that burbling idle somehow...beautiful car and renovation. Love that 6 spd
Hi wamps 01, All the right details :-) Glad you like this one, me too, Lou
this was one of the cheapest full sized fords in 67.Very rare to see one fixed up.Beautiful car
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
Awesome Awesome car... wow... that would be my dream ride there.
Glad this one gets the Awesome x 2 Martin Screeton :-) Lou
i love those bad v8 sounds !!! that 427 is pure muscle .
Hi Bluehopi Bridge, I agree, when the car is started, the sound makes you smile :-) Lou
Fantastic car and my favorite kind of muscle car; understated and clean with

Hi 11094DEREK, "Awesome" High praise. Thank you for sharing, Lou
Very nice
:-)
My dad bought a new fastback 67 back in the day. I always thought this one-year only body style was very futuristic (for Ford) and great competition for the contemporary GM products of the day.
I finally got to drive one and It drives much nicer than other fords of just 2 or 3 years earlier.
Hi ScottDLR, Thank you for sharing details on your Dad's and your drive and adding to the story, Lou
Sweet ride :)
Agreed :-)

Interesting colour. My neighbour had a new 65 Squire wagon and it would appear to be green with a touch of blue on a cloudy day but when the Sun was strong it looked blue with some green . The colour was Twilight Turquoise and it had the matching Turquoise interior.
That 67 looks like the factory Dark Moss green , but the sunlight on a angle shows that blue hue.
HI Gary Wood, Thank you for viewing and sharing details on the color and your neighbours wagon. Lou
very cool car
Hi Martin Schaffmeir, Glad you like this one :-) Hope you see more cars on the Channel you'll think are very cool, Lou
Oooo! Sweeeeet! I can totally dig this scene, maaaaan! This car is looking super good.
I had the 69 Ford Galaxy 500, with Craiger mags, jacked in the back. The color was Turquoise.. I have no clue what happened to pics of her but she was gorgeous. To me anyway. :-)

I've owned a lot of Mustangs ,and big Ford's ,Boss 302's ,a 1969 Mach 1 with a 390 ,and Four speed 88 GT5.0,,,98 GT 5.0 V8 , 2002 GT5.0,2006 GT 5.0,and a 2013 GT with a 5.0. I really miss that car ,because In my opinion, the 2013 ,and 2014 GT's were the most definitive mustangs of the past 60's style ,however I have never owned a 427 side oiler ,in any way shape or form .Wow what a powerful engine, anyway ,that's my story ,,Lou,,,,,Great show . Keep it rolling........
My first car was a red 67 LTD. Black cloth interior with chrome everywhere, guages, black vinyl top, inside back window impossible to clean cause of the fast back, 390 with 4 barrel and dual exhaust, Cragar rims.

My father always drove Ford Galaxie's during the 60's , he owned a 67 500 four door hard top automatic fully loaded in the color of burgundy probably a 390 four barrel, he would put one hundred thousand miles on them as a traveling sales rep and then trade them in .

It's a stock 9-inch Ford housing with a new third member, posi, 31 spline axles. 4.10 gear.
Suspension is mostly stock but has upgraded rear control arms/panhard by PMT Fabrication, as well as upgraded front & rear sway bars/bushings.

@@loucostabile Hello Jeff/Hello Lou: Yes, thanks so much. It was a '67 Custom that was more loyal to me than all the women I have ever known COMBINED. It had a 240 "big block" six cylinder and a C4. Four doors, pale blue, drove it at least 110K miles (in Upstate New York and Michigan), got me thru my undergrad, and my Grad Degrees (latter at Cornell). ALWAYS STARTED. When all the rich kids' BMW's would not start in sub-zero weather, I was nice enough to give them a jump! 1967 full-size, one of the best all-around cars Ford ever made... I still dream about that my '67.
@@SchwartzPerformance Nice car and magnificent work! Are the front wheels Wheel Vintiques 15x8 with 245/60/15 tires? What backspacing? Do they rub?

Hi Larry Hawkins, Thank you for viewing and sharing a tip. Lou
Custom500 was the trimmed out custom; some chrome trim added and the 500 badge. A step below the Galaxie500. But I liked the Custom500 actually more than the Galaxie just for the simpler look and if hopped up it was a cooler look than the fancier Galaxie500, Galaxie XL or the LTD. just my opinion. Cheers🍻
Hi Trip Reviews, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Lou
Great idea going with fuel injection and the modern transmission. I hope you get better MPG than with carburetors. The 427 wasn't known for its fuel economy.

We had a ‘67 Custom 500, but it did not look as unremarkable and bare bones as this one. It was sky blue and had nice hubcaps. And a nice round dome light instead of corner back seat lights. Ford’s would take on those rectangular dome lights from about 1969 to 1979 unless you paid for those fancy map lights you could turn on without the car running.

This is just my type of muscle car Lou. Just a total sleeper. Looks like a plain Jane straight 6 grandma car besides those tiny 427 fender badges. But once you open the hood it's anything but grandma's car. I wonder how many Ford Custom and Custom 500s escaped the factory with the dual quad R-Code 427. Can't be very many at all
Hi Jeremy Thompson, Simple and powerful :-) Lou
Absolutely Lou. Those Ford R-Code 427 cars were basically race cars with a license plate. This gentleman's 427 engine is much more refined with the fuel injection setup though. Love this car. This is one of my favorite cars I've seen on your channel so far. I'm a huge fan of sleeper cars just like this

You guy's are funny with loads of money to waist, you can't unload gobs of hoursepower on the street or risk killing someone or yourself and/or get a reckless driving ticket and very big fine and maybe lose your license for six months. Like eating only one chip as us REAL hot rodders say to Lawn Chair car show guys that just talk 🦜 Oh my 66 Galaxie XL ran a best of 13.79 @ 98 mph with bad traction, I ran on test and tune once a year for fun. With slicks I'm sure I'd be deep in the 13s maybe high 12s. To some guy's today that may not seem real fast but I didn't build a race car I built a hot rod Galaxie, best of both worlds, you can't drive a race car
That is going to go a LOT faster with that 6spd manual in there instead of the original 4 spd, and fuel injection.
Sounds good :-)
