Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop
The Mustang is a free-roaming horse of the Western United States,
descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish.
Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses, but because they are
descended from once-domesticated animals, they are actually feral
horses. The original Mustangs were colonial Spanish horses, but
many other breeds and types of horses contributed to the modern
mustang, now resulting in varying phenotypes. Some free-roaming
horses are relatively unchanged from the original Spanish stock,
most strongly represented in the most isolated populations. These
were the preferred horses of the US Cavalry.
For consignment, a 1967 example of the Mustang which is the
beneficiary of a rotisserie restoration with no stone left
unturned. A few upgrades on the way and a rebuilt engine with lots
of new parts. A real showroom example.
Exterior
As noted, this car was meticulously restored in 2009 and all panels
are original and were stripped down to bare steel, no bondo added
or needed, then bathed in correct Springtime Yellow paint which is
excellent. The gaps are well minded, and the design has changed a
bit from the first generation of this car. Mainly on the back of
the car where the tail lighting went to an inverted V format. The
chrome is excellent all around, stainless is all polished and
pristine, and badging is all correct. The rear quarter hockey stick
cove is accented in black striping and has dual vents. Not a Cobra
Jet, not muscled or modded, just an 8 cylinder example to show what
the majority of consumers actually bought. The car now rides on
14-inch Magnum 500 chromed and polished wheels with raised white
letter radials wrapping them. No fluff, just pure Mustang right out
of 1967. A breath of fresh air on this exterior.
Interior
Opening the doors we are taken again back in time and see what the
customer saw in the showroom in 1967. Medium Saddle color was used
on the door panels and interior seating as well as the lower dash.
It is all in perfect condition with low back buckets that sport
tuck and roll inserts, and smooth bolsters and backs. A chrome
accenting is covering the "hinge" for the seats. In the back is
pristine bench. The dash is showing with a black dash top and some
Saddle paint below and is all original looking. Changes for this
year were 2 large round gauges on either side of the steering
column and a trio of round smaller gauges stretched out across the
dash front top. This cluster and the glovebox are both under
elongated eyebrow padded overhangs. The only change from the
original ordered car is the radio which is now an AM/FM/CD/USB and
MP3 player. It fits perfectly in the space. Black carpeting covers
the floors, and above an original parchment headliner is nice and
tight. This is a 3-speed automatic transmission car and the shifter
is on the hump reaching for the driver who holds on to the original
steering wheel, also presenting like new.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the factory condition engine bay in black and in
the center is an 289ci V8 which was rebuilt. It has a beautifully
painted blue block and valve covering as well as a round single
long snout air cleaner covering. Hoses and wiring are nice and
supple. On top is a 2-barrel carburetor and on back is the 3-speed
C4 automatic transmission with an 8 inch 2.79 geared rear axle. All
correct and all original but completely rebuilt. The ammeter has
been changed to a voltmeter and all new steering components have
been added in.
Undercarriage
All completely pristine with lots of Springtime Yellow paint, black
framing and suspension and no rust components which include front
independent coil springs and rear leaf springs. Power disc braking
is now upfront, and power drums for the rear. A like new dual
exhaust and fuel tank are installed. You will need a mirror for
this car to take to shows as this undercarriage is not to be
missed.
Drive-Ability
After a brief warmup, it was off to the test track where this car
performed nicely. Solid braking, smooth acceleration and all
functions working right as, (Springtime), rain. I felt like I just
drove off the showroom floor with this example.
Here is a near perfect example of what the real Mustang story is
about selling to the masses hundreds of thousands of everyday cars
that went from point A to paint B and all in style. The color
combination of Springtime Yellow and Medium Saddle is not often
seen. Just lovely.
