Vehicle Description
This is a true 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback that was born as a 6
cylinder fast-back. The builder/restorer is an 84yr old gentleman
who is a nationally recognized Mustang Judge and a restorer of
1967-only Mustangs to Concours standard. He's the kind of guy who
has literally forgotten more about Mustangs than most people will
ever know. This man has made a lifetime of loving, judging, and
restoring '67-era rare Mustangs decided to gift his 17-year old
grandson with a 1967 Ford Mustang 'E'-type Movie Car Replica -- one
heck of a gift for a 17-year old! As you might expect this car was
built from the ground up to a show quality standard, nothing but
the best intended for his grandson. He told the seller that while
the family absolutely loves the car, it's too expensive and
powerful to be in the hands of an inexperienced driver, and for
that reason, they've decided it best to sell the car, get him
something more practical, and put a few $$'s away for school, etc.
Today the seller saw the car, it's equally as nice as any of the
Concours restored examples he's already sold. Consistent with the
iconic movie Gone in 60 Seconds, this car was purpose-built to
rival that movie-car and upgraded in a few areas to enhance its
value. The car was born a 1967 Fastback 6-cylinder Mustang. This
was specifically sought out thinking that a V6 would be less likely
to be abused by its prior owners, and as a purist, the builder
didn't want to take an otherwise collectible true V8 car out of the
collector pipeline, etc. The car was a literal ground-up build to
assure it was like new in all respects. The car has been painted
the movie-correct Anthracite Metallic Grey---a color that was not
offered in 1967 but appeared in the movie and seemingly drove the
fans wild for its styling. The 6 cylinder engine was replaced with
a 390GT V8 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission (the movie car
was only a 4-speed car). There are less than 300 miles on this
since it's fresh restoration
