It's a 4-speed with bench seat. Not a Sprint, actually. Window sticker says the option is the overhead cam 4-barrel engine, peculiar to 67 only as not being the full Sprint package.

I believe there were 3 Tempest Custom 4-doors built with the 4v and 4-speed, this being the only one with A/C.

Out of respect to Fred , there was only one 6cyl 4bbl.
It's listed as
4bbl. 230 cu. inch overhead cam 6 cyl engine
Stripes only available with coupes and convertibles = no stripes on 4 doors.
He does have Sprint fender badges.

Can't imagine the godfather of documentation is parading a fake car. (?)

Fred's Tempest is a '67.

In 1967, the 4BC engines were offered as an optional upgrade.
It wasn't the "Sports Package" aka, SPRINT, just the engine.

This was available on any Tempest model,
hence why you might see a few '67 Wagons as well with the 4BC engine.

He knows this and, over the years, took some creative freedom by adding the fender Badges.
His show sign shows all the details.

No Harm No Fowl

Thanks for all the details. What a cool car. So many way to have a car built in a very personal configuration in the 1960's. One of the things that makes that decade so special.
