Vehicle Description
This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback offers visual impact in abundance,
but it's got far more going for it than sheer curb appeal - though
there's no denying how important that is. It's packing some serious
power via an upgraded engine considered to be one of its
manufacturer's finest from its era and, having been driving an
unusually low 83,000 miles, is a great driver that's ready to hit
the road right away.
Such an awesome looking car! It hails from a class of first
generation fastbacks widely regarded as some of the most magnetic
specimens ever to bear the Mustang name and features the stouter
overall look and wider track that debuted the very year it came
out. Its red exterior has a pleasing vitality - not to mention
plenty of shine - and a thorough detailing session will bring out
its best. Fresh looking bumpers that have recently been either
re-chromed or replaced altogether are now in place both fore and
aft and the remainder of the exterior trim, though likely original,
presents impressively well. Mustangs of this era rolled off the
assembly line equipped with loads of style and this '67 reflects an
almost entirely factory appearance, with only a couple of slight
modifications that really work well in this setting: a pair of
black stripes over the rocker panels and blackened tail light
bezels looming above a pair of chrome tail pipes. The exterior
alignment on this classic is very solid - the doors, hood and deck
lid all feature nice, even gaps.
The interior has the same tan color it began with and really pairs
well with the red exterior. Front buckets lifted from a Fox bodied
Mustang now sit in place of the originals to offer quite a bit more
comfort and adjustability and they look surprisingly at home
surrounded by the otherwise factory correct components. This is a
very comfortable driving environment that offers the option to
either use those upgraded buckets as a springboard for further
modifications or take things back the other way to stock
configuration. Below, the carpeting is in extra clean condition,
with no stains or wear spots, while the headliner above was
recently replaced and is very well-fitted. The aftermarket steering
has a nice feel to it and sits just in front of a dash area that's
in good shape, with clear, functional gauges in its cluster and an
AM/FM/CD stereo recessed into its center to fill the cabin with
sound. In back, the trunk area is properly detailed, with plaid
floor lining that matches the spare tire cover.
The 351 cubic inch Windsor engine now taking center stage in the
engine compartment has been dressed up with a chrome air cleaner
and chrome valve covers and enjoys a definite power advantage when
pitted against the factory offerings of this '67s era. It's one of
Ford's most revered classic engines, pairing its strong performance
with time-tested reliability. True to form, this one is running
great - it, along with the 3-speed C4 transmission sitting behind
it, was recently serviced and both an aftermarket 4-barrel carb and
Edelbrock intake manifold are now in place to maximize its output,
while an aftermarket coil has also been added to provide a hotter
spark. Power steering makes this eye-catching classic easy to
navigate as it cruises on its set of 15" wheels with sharp blue
centers. Below, the undercarriage looks solid and straight.
