Vehicle Description
This cool blue 1967 Ford Mustang convertible is the very definition
of summertime fun. Looking like a GT350 convertible (if Shelby had
built such a thing in 1967), it offers a great color combination,
spotless interior, strong-running 289, and the promise of
adventure. And being a V8 Mustang, it makes for one of the world's
great motoring pleasures and a car not to be missed.
Recently painted, this cool GT350 ragtop looks good from any angle.
They probably started with a clean, straight car because the gaps
are great and three's none of the irregular fit that you get on a
Mustang that's lived a hard life. The finish has a nice shine that
will get attention out on the road, and if you're into shows, you
can really detail it up to look great. Details are correct,
including the twin-nostril hood, the white stripes on the rockers,
the Shelby emblems on the fenders, and the scoops in the quarter
panels, so nobody's going to mistake this for anything else. Bright
bumpers appear to be freshly chromed or very nice replacement
pieces and classic 3-element taillights make it easy to identify
from behind. If you can't spot a vintage Mustang at 50 yards,
you're just not an old car fan.
The handsome black bucket seat interior is a wonderful contrast to
the blue paint, and is probably the way Ol' Shel would have wanted
it. The standard buckets were reupholstered and the vinyl
upholstery is durable and stylish, so it'll last for years. Door
panels look almost new and the carpets are in good shape without
having that faded look that happens in some convertibles. A 3-spoke
wood-rimmed steering wheel has a very Shelby-like look and there's
a modern AM/FM stereo radio in the center of the dash with speakers
in the usual places. The shifter for the automatic transmission
sits right there on the top of the console, which also incorporates
the unique "garage" storage bin up front. The black power
convertible top is in good shape with a plastic rear window, and
the trunk includes a correct mat for a finished look.
The C-code 289 cubic inch V8 is a strong runner with a torquey
demeanor that makes this Mustang a blast to run through the gears.
With fresh Ford Blue paint on the block, it looks exactly right and
someone obviously spent a lot of money here. It runs beautifully
with a big dose of low-end torque and a willingness to rev, while
the 2-barrel carb remains so it's relatively thrifty, too. You'll
also be happy to see that this car includes power steering, which
makes a huge difference in the way it feels going down the road and
handling in tight spots. There's a great-sounding dual exhaust
system with OEM-style mufflers and chrome tips just below the rear
bumper, so it sounds like a flashy Mustang should. Reproduction
Shelby alloy wheels give it a very Shelby look that helps complete
the illusion, and it sits on a set of 205/65/15 BFGoodrich T/A
radials that fill the fenders quite nicely.
Affordably priced, this convertible has the look and feel that
you've been looking for in this summer's toy. Call today!
