If you buy one expect to get pregnant (or get someone else pregnant) very shortly after you get it home.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Keith could give better details He was a victim of it. I thankfully own a 1969 and have not been cursed.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Thats about how it works. I know an old member from here that bought '67 parts, brought them home and about 10 months later....TADA.
I never tell the wife if its from a '67, it seems to work. That and the fact i had a "doctors appointment" 10 years ago.
Good luck with this, a few of us have gone unscathed, but we are few.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Even though I owned my 67' before I got married, my wife still had twins.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Back a few years ago when I was buying bumpside trucks left and right for parts donors, I bought 4 different '67s at different times....and I now have 4 kids to show for it! Every time I got a '67, it was shortly afterward that we found out Mary was preggers. I think that's how the curse got started, but then other members started noticing the same phenomenon with their own truck purchases.
Beware of the Curse of the '67! It's REAL, I tell you!

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
So if you and your wife are trying really hard to have a kid but can't, buy a 67.
67's are for kids, thats why you get one kid for every 67.
Keith, congratulations on hitting the big 10,000 post count. Your still behind fordman though.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Does the curse apply to '67 Bumpsides or to all '67s? I only need one Bumpside but I was thinking of someday buying a '67 Galaxie for my dad (he had one in college). I'm not ready to celebrate Father's Day yet.

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
i had my kid before i got my 67' and have been clear ever since....maybe i shouldnt even write this in event of a jynxx!!
i think the only curse of the 67' is that they are the coolest of the bumps..i mean come on..they "SET THE TREND" for the bump

Re: CURSE OF THE 67
Luckily, I didn't suffer the curse, since I was single when I bought my 67! Of course, it's now been diluted with 68 and 69 parts.
