This outstanding 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Custom is the ultimate restomod and has been nick named “Ruby”. Life for this car started as a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback S-code -390 V8.

A Certificate of Authenticity from Carroll Shelby for autographing and a photo of Jack Roush autographing are included. It’s a multiple award winner including the MCA Nationals “Lark Bragg” award. A photo of awards is included and the mention of MCA award is mentioned in magazine but awards are not included. It was a magazine cover car for “Modified Mustangs and Fords” and “Mustang Magazine”. These two magazines are included.

 

As the VIN number and Marti Auto Works Deluxe Report indicate this car was originally built at San Jose as a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback S-code – 390 4V V8. It was a stock order by dealer name Lousteau Ford located in Gonzales, LA. The exterior color was Wimbledon White and the interior color was Red with standard bucket seats. It was ordered with the following options: GT Equipment Group, C-6 Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic, F70-14 Wide Oval tires, white sidewall nylon tires, sport deck rear seat, power steering, air conditioning, AM radio and tinted glass.

THE STORY: From the information gathered the car spent its entire life down south. It was discovered and purchased by a gentleman in Florida named Steve Richmond. As quoted from “Modified Mustangs and Fords” magazine: “Steve was a paint and body man for 23 years. With his workspace dialed in, Steve got to work on the Mustang, which he found out started life as an original 390-powered, GT Fastback with air conditioning. Steve considered restoring it once he found out what the numbers said, but he ultimately determined that the car was too far gone to bother with a restoration and proceeded with the Eleanor conversion. Steve took note of the Fastback’s poor overall condition, concluding that a previous owner had drag raced the white over red pony car. The 390 was long gone, replaced with a tired 302. And so began hours upon hours of metal work, fiberglass work and body work. Steve said, “I was going to do blue with gray stripes and I looked at a lot of bright blues, but they all had a purple cast to them. I went back to my old standard –pretty much every car I’ve had has been red.” For this build, Steve chose Fords late-model Redfire Metallic complemented with likewise modern shade of gray, Tungsten, for the stripes. And like the Pepper Gray, the Eleanor hood wasn’t Steve’s first choice either. He opted for a fiberglass Shelby-style GT 500 hood with louvers- he actually refabricated the louvers to his liking. Steve also planned for a Super Snake stripe down the center of the car, which worked better with the 500s hood lines. Making sure that his Mustang was no slouch, Steve dropped big money on one of Roush Performance’s FE crate engines. The all-aluminum powerplant cranks out 500hp at the flywheel and more than 550 lb-ft of torque. Backing up the stout engine is a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission and a Fab9 9” rear end. Since completion, the Mustang has hauled in a host of Best of Show trophies but Steve’s most interesting award came from the 2010 Pensacola MCA National Show where it won the “Lark Bragg” award.”

Steve decided to sell the car in 2014 after many years of enjoyment. He consigned it to the Mecum Auction located in Kissimmee, FL. Coincidentally MS CLASSIC CARS owner Marc Schiliro attended that auction and checked out this car from top to bottom. He thought it was one of the best and so did a lot of other people. It ended up selling on Friday January 24th, 2014 for $185,000.00. The gentleman who purchased the car invested well over $200,000.00 including the auction commission, sales tax and shipping. This gentleman lived in Ohio and treated this car with TLC. He enjoyed the car with his son taking it to car shows and occasional rides around town. He decided after six years of ownership it was time to sell the car. MS CLASSIC CARS purchased the car in May of 2020. Since the restoration was completed it only has been driven a total of 2,683 miles. MS CLASSIC CARS nick named the car “Ruby” because of the color. Eleanor, meet your sister Ruby.
The exterior of this car is outstanding and absolutely gorgeous. The design of this car with this body kit has proven to be a huge hit. The body work fit and finish is excellent unlike most of the second generation Mustangs with body kits. During the restoration most of the sheet metal was replaced. It sports a fiberglass GT500 hood with re-fabricated louvers and billet hood pins. The custom front nose aligns to the hood and fenders beautifully. The custom fender moldings, lower moldings with exhaust cut outs and side scoops are molded onto the body with no seams. The custom rear deck lid, quarter caps, rear panel, rear bumper and lower valiance also align beautifully. The body is very straight with excellent gaps throughout. The hood, doors and deck lid close very nicely. The car was finished in PPG Base/Clear Redfire Metallic paint with Gray Super Snake stripes. This color combination works perfectly together and is stunning in the sunlight. The paint job is high show quality and ocean deep throughout. The Super Snake stripes and the lower rocker stripes were painted on and clear coated over. All of the glass is new and tinted throughout. All of the window trim including the side vents was restored or replaced and looks brilliant. Some of the exterior appointments include chrome dual Shelby style mirrors, custom upper and lower front grill, custom lights and rear quarter Shelby gas cap with functioning filler. It has a great stance on Raceline 239-GT polished wheels that are 18x8 on the front and 18x10 on the back. The wheels are wrapped with Nitto NT555 tires that are 245/40/ZR18 on the front and 275/40/ZR18 on the back.

The interior of this car is also outstanding and absolutely gorgeous. The black interior really complements the Redfire Metallic with Gray stripes. The cabin was stripped to an empty shell during the restoration and was covered with heat and sound insulation. Everything in the interior was replaced new including such items as the headliner, sun visors, rear view mirror, dash pad, dash, dash hardware, door sills, door panels, seats, carpeting etc. Some of the custom features include four-point roll bar with G-Force Pro Series harness, chrome fire extinguisher, stainless trim throughout, Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-Lite white face gauges, brushed tilt steering column, Moto-Lita wood steering wheel, TCP pedals, Procar bucket seats, matching folding rear seat, center console with storage compartment, TKO shifter with black shift knob, Alpine stereo head unit, kick panel speakers, and carpeted floor mats with Cobra logo. The trunk compartment was completely carpeted and is home to the Optima Yellow Top battery. A power cut off knob was installed under the passenger seat.

The engine compartment is highly detailed with many custom features throughout. Jack Roush signed the backside bottom of the hood. The hood is supported with billet hood hinges that were added by MS CLASSIC CARS. The firewall, inner fenders and radiator support was painted the body color which looks amazing. The gray Super Snake stripes continue down on the inside of the cowl area. .... Read more on our website.
