Vehicle Description
There is a long list of desirable features in a first-generation
Mustang. At the top are items like the fastback profile and a
believed to be original 390 V8. So when you find a finely restored
example like this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA, you know you have to act
quickly on something so rare and special.
This car is even more striking in person. Of course, that's what
you would expect when you invest in a high-quality $45K rotisserie
restoration at Richard Petty's Garage. With such a thorough
application of the Dark Moss Green and such straight body panels,
the impression is the paint flows over every one of the fastback's
distinctive body curves like they liquefy the moment sunlight hits
them. And the full white stripe package fits in this stellar
impression because they have been cleared in with the paint. But
more than just striking sheetmetal in a luster-filled presentation,
you love this car for all the correct details. It's got the best GT
elements, like the fog lights, correct GTA badging on the side,
triple rocker stripe, and the GT gas cap. And all the major
brightwork is gleaming like it should - everything from the
wraparound chrome bumpers, to the Mag wheels with pony center caps
and redline tires.
One of the coolest colors to go with the dark green exterior is the
Ivy Gold interior. The serious restoration investment means the
green on the seats, door panels, dash, and carpet looks and feels
nearly as fresh as the day this Mustang left the Metuchen, New
Jersey factory. Great bright elements on places like the floor
shifter, correct AM/FM radio, and heat/defrost controls really help
to bring out the shine in this unique vinyl's color. The pony car
was growing up in '67, so the interiors were staring to get more
luxurious. The gauges have shiny chrome bezels around them and the
level of clarity shows more smart investment in this coupe.
Overall, it's the kind of interior that will leave others green
with envy.
This is a true GT fastback, so you'll love to lift the hood and
show off the 390 cubic-inch motor that's, according to the owner,
believed to be original to this car. 1967 was the first year this
big V8 was made available in the Mustang, so we're glad to see that
it has been rebuilt to ensure reliable power. Just like the rest of
the pricey restoration, there has also been plenty of time taken to
get the engine bay looking its factory-fresh best. So the bright
air topper and "Powered by Ford" shiny valve covers combine with
the bright blue block to make for an awesome presentation. And this
even has all the details right, like the correct decals, coolant
overflow bag, and even a classic Autolite cover for the battery -
so you know it's going to impress some car show judges. And if you
love fresh restorations, don't forget to check out the
undercarriage photos. You're going to spot all those fresh
components, as well as the QTP exhaust cutouts that really lets the
big V8 growl whenever you feel like added intimidation. On the
road, this full package produces a true wallop of power with the
big Holley four-barrel carburetor helping to make the advertised
320 hp. Remember the "A" in GTA is for the automatic transmission.
Ford's three-speed is great at providing comfort during the
everyday situations, and it has been rebuilt with the V8 to remain
stout enough to handle the full power when you're ready to unleash
the monster motor. When it comes time for stopping, front disc
brakes and the more modern tread of the BF Goodrich tires (masking
as iconic redline units) give you a real advantage.Call now!
