$13,500 CAD works out to just over $10,000 USD. Still a bit much for what appears to be a just OK 1967 Thunderbird.
Having helped my father maintain a similar vintage T-Bird (4-suicide-door model) back in the ’70s when these were daily drivers, I have never been able to relieve back pains that started while leaning over the fender in Florida heat trying to access some of the T-Bird’s hidden spark plugs and small hoses.
Better to get either of the red Falcons; they’re easier to work on and have fewer things to go wrong in the first place.
Ditto that. I remember watching a mechanic work on a bullet bird engine at the Ford dealer in Iowa City; it was really tight in there and he taught me some new words that day.
For one who maintains their vehicle, there’s nothing better than opening the hood and be able to see the ground.
When my grandmother’s 78 Zephyr needed an oil change, it was nice to open the hood and have access to the oil filter and drain plug from the top! She had no A/C, power brakes, power steering; only options were auto and 200 ci six! Nothing but ground all around!
Love the Falcon convertible and hardtop! Beautiful cars. What’s the name of this classic car lot? I can’t quite make it out on the sign.
The “Falcon convert” has caught my eye as well!
Same here on the Falcon convertible. Looks to have a V8, too!
I’d even go for that one as opposed to a Mustang convertible. Much more unique, that’s for sure.
Nice selection and it’s convertible weather…..

Looks like it’s The Little Lot in Edmonton Alberta and also the local Pick N Pull.
Too far for me, but perhaps David Saunders can pick up some classics for us. I’m partial to the $2,399 Fairlane at Pick N Pull.
As I understand it The Little Lot is a consignment lot for classics and interesting vehicles. I have been to Edmonton a handful of times over the years but never managed to get there yet.
Edmonton always seems to have a good selection of classics for sale at the best prices in Alberta for whatever reason. I would love that Fairlane but only space, time and money prevent its purchase,
Thanks. Yes, I can now see that it does say “The Little Lot”. Too far away from me as I’m in the Southern U.S.
The Fairlane is just like the one we had, except for being white and a six. With the 170 six, it’s going to be a bit lethargic.
I’m more drawn to the Falcon 2-door sedan.
What would get my interest going is the 1965 Pontiac photobombing the first photo. This being Canada, probably a Cheviac?
For sentimental reasons, I’ll show the ‘69 Impala convertible some love. An Impala Custom qCoupe was the first new car our family had when I was growing up.
Always love the Impalas from 1961 through 1970!
I like that 1967 T-Bird, the first year of the fifth-generation “Glamour Birds”. My Mom had one, with the 390 FE V8 and no vinyl roof. This one is my favorite of the five-year run. The side marker lamps, a.k.a. “Nader Eyes”, with the cornering lamps on the 1968 example are like zits on the chin of an otherwise gorgeous cheerleader, and the deletion of the standard bucket seats for a bench seat in 1968 didn’t help (buckets were still available as options in ’68, but they became very hard to find. The optional 428 FE V8 was discontinued mid-year in favor of the “385” block 429 V8 as the only engine choice when stock of the FE block engines was depleted.
The 1969 was even worse, as the vestigial rear side windows went away, enlarging an already huge blind spot, and the taillight treatment on the 1969, with it’s overwrought chrome panel between the turn signals was one of the fifth-generation’s uglier styling elements. Thank God it went away in 1970, and the 1967-68 taillight treatment returned in 1970. Of course the “Bunkie Beak” made its appearance in 1970, so there’s that. Fortunately, the Bunkie Beak only lasted for two (2) years, 1970-71. By 1972, the last vestiges of sportiness had disappeared from the T-Bird with the sixth-generation car, and the T-Bird morphed into a lower cost sister to the Lincoln Mark IV.
The ’69 Impala was something very special for the original and subsequent owners. Minimum of 350 cid V8. May not have A/C, but who cares!!
Some ’69 Impala converts had a 327, my uncle had one, I sold it for the family last year after he had died.
The white 4 door car behind a fence is from a Pick N Pull yard I am not sure whats hapening with that car. I did not see it for sale on thier website However it has the same numbers they use
