Vehicle Description
Are you tired of red resto-mod Mustangs yet? Perhaps this stunning
Candy Apple Red 1967 Ford Mustang GTA coupe will cure what ails
you. The incredible build not only gives the car serious
performance credentials, but it's so drop-dead gorgeous that people
will follow you for miles just to ask you about it. It's that kind
of car.
The transformation on this S-Code Mustang isn't as dramatic as
you'd think, but that's the quality talking to you. The bodywork is
nicely done and the deep red paint works better on the vintage
Mustang body shell than just about anywhere else. It looks modern
and clean, and with the correct white GTA stripe along the rockers,
there's a bit of tradition in there, too (yes, this is a real-deal,
Marti-report documented GTA). The paint looks so fresh you can
almost smell it, and after a solid buff-and-wax, it will like a
million bucks because even minor imperfections are really few and
far between. The '67's details work exceptionally well, with the
crease along the sides standing out clearly in red, showing off
some straight bodywork. The color suggests a lot of modifications,
but it's quite stock save for some crystal clear headlight lenses.
Even better, check out how all that beautiful chrome really pops
against the red finish, with shiny bumpers fore and aft, a correct
GT grille insert complete with fog lamps, and that iconic GT gas
cap and beautifully detailed taillights out back. This is a
seriously nice GTA.
The beautifully finished and extremely fresh interior sticks to the
factory recipe as well, complete with low-back buckets and handsome
black vinyl upholstery that's essentially an exact match for the
original stuff. Precise stitching, neat pleats, and bright
rectangular medallions in the seat backs all make this GT look very
upscale, and ornate door panels, taut headliner above, and plush
carpets below all match the upholstery perfectly. This GT also
features functional air conditioning, which was finally integrated
into the dash instead of tacked on in 1967, and the floor-shifted
automatic transmission inside the brightly adorned factory middle
console makes the Mustang feel sporty. Stock instrumentation is in
crystal clear condition and the entertainment system was upgraded
to an Alpine AM/FM/CD/USB/AUX head unit that was integrated
seamlessly. There's a nice band of machined metal across the dash
that matches the bright accents inside and sports things up
further, and that wood-rimmed three spoke steering wheel is a piece
of vintage art that really anchors this impressive interior. The
back seat is neatly trimmed to match and has plenty of room for
two, and the trunk offers a correct mat and steel wheel spare for
an OEM look.
Under the hood, the engine appears to be the original S-code 390
cubic inch V8, only because Ford did not abide by the
numbers-matching criteria we find in Chevrolets, Mopars and other
common classics. Topped with an 4-barrel carburetor and stock
intake, it's docile enough to drive every day but powerful enough
to be a thrill on the weekends, which is exactly what Ford always
envisioned. The engine bay is dressed for show with lots of black
wrinkle finish and polished aluminum and chrome, and the newer
hardware ensures reliability. The A/C system was updated with
modern components, although this was not a factory air car, and
power steering (factory) and power front disc brakes are included,
too. The front suspension is stock but appears fully rebuilt, and
you can tell this was always an incredibly solid car because the
floors are as nice and solid as the bodywork. A Flowmaster dual
exhaust system has a great sound that lets the big 390 rumble a bit
without getting annoying and it sits on gorgeous Magnum wheels and
carry staggered 215/70/14 front and 245/60/14 rear BFGoodrich T/A
white-letter performance radials.
Yes, it's gorgeous. Yes, it's fast. Yes, it's comfortable. You
could probably spend more money, but it's going to be hard to get
more Mustang than this. Nicely documented with a Marti Report,
owner's manuals, and service manuals, you can definitely buy with
confidence. Call today!
