Vehicle Description
There are still lots of great early Mustangs out there for not a
lot of cash, just like this 1967 Mustang coupe. It's a real C-code
289 V8 car, it's got the right colors, and it's available for about
the price of a garden-variety daily driver. Wouldn't you rather
have the Mustang?
Go to a show today and you might be convinced that the roads were
teeming with Shelbys and Mach 1s, but the truth is, this coupe is
far more accessible and looks much more like what people were
driving in 1967. The handsome Springtime Yellow paint is certainly
eye-catching, and there aren't many folks alive today who don't
crack a smile when they see an early Mustang like this. Obviously
kept in a warm, dry climate, this super-straight old pony wears
that burgundy paint in a subtle way, so it makes a statement
without the need for spoilers, which always seem to get in the way
of the Mustang's clean, honest look. Good panel alignment certainly
helps and 1967's quarter panel inserts are far more interesting
than the early cars' plain ones. The black stripe along the rockers
is recent and it works rather well with the black vinyl top, which
is likewise in great shape. We like the look because it combines an
elegant, upscale image with just enough street fighter to make
everyone respect it on the road.
Mustangs were always equipped with wonderful, stylish, highly
functional interiors, and this coupe is no exception. Bucket seats
were standard (yes, you could get a bench in a Mustang, but why?)
but these are aftermarket units that are far more supportive and
aggressively bolstered than the originals. There's a big
three-spoke steering wheel that works well in the Mustang's updated
driver's compartment and it gives you great road feel. Round gauges
covering the basics fill the dash and are probably original, the
factory A/C still blows cold, and the shifter has a wooden handle
that helps with the upscale vibe. The door panels, carpets, and
headliner are all in good shape, and for entertainment it features
a Sony AM/FM/CD stereo head unit. The trunk is neatly finished with
a correct plaid mat as well as a spare tire with its own matching
cover.
Yes, this is a real c-code 289/2-barrel car and it sticks to the
original recipe for reliability and ease of maintenance. It's
detailed with bright Ford Blue engine enamel and simple stamped
valve covers but a chrome air cleaner gives it a bit of a racy
look. The A/C compressor dominates the engine bay, but underneath
it, you'll spot factory power steering that makes this pony a car
you could drive every day. The C4 3-speed automatic transmission
offers crisp shifting and someone has just added a brand new dual
exhaust system in place of the original single exhaust, and the
soundtrack is much better now. The front suspension is stock, but
that's OK because it works well, and the floors are in good order.
Period Cragar mags are a great addition, looking sporty without
being too modern, and they're fitted with a recent set of blackwall
radials.
Easy to live with, fun to drive, and affordable to buy, that's how
the Mustang has always been great. If you like driving, this cool
coupe is an excellent choice. Call today!
