This is a very nicely done white with blue racing stripes, Mustang
Shelby tribute car. The white and blue is an eye catchand extremely
iconic. The car has undergone a recent ground up restoration.
Featuring a rebuilt OE suspension, newly assembled 302 engine, 3
speed manual and a gorgons black interior. The Hurst shifter,
original radio and gauges tie the interior off nicely. Complete
with new Shelby tribute wheels, badging and steering wheel. This is
a great driver with PLENTY of power at your finger tips. The high
revving 302 motor is light which allows for better handling up
front but still has enough grunt to smoke the tires. The steering
feels nice, very tight and is easy to drive any in situation with
the power steering and brakes. Overall, this Mustang is a very
cool, unique driver that sounds great, is comfortable and an
absolute joy to drive.
History;
The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original
model. Ford's designers began drawing up a larger version even as
the original was achieving sales success, and while "Lacocca later
complained about the Mustang's growth, he did oversee the redesign
for 1967 . "The major mechanical feature was to allow the
installation of a big-block V8 engine. The overall size, interior
and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes included
concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model)
side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly
wheel and gas cap changes. The high-performance 289 option was
placed behind the newer 335 hp 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE engine from the
Ford Thunderbird, which was equipped with a four-barrel carburetor.
During the mid-1968 model year, a drag racer for the street could
be ordered with the optional 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet engine
which was officially rated at 335 hp all of these Mustangs were
issued R codes on their VINs.
