Vehicle Description
1967 Mustang GTA Convertible
In 1967, roughly 24,000 Mustangs had the GT option package, which
consisted of grille-mounted fog lamps, dual exhausts with quad
chrome tips, power front disc brakes, GT gas cap, handling package,
and more. This 1967 Mustang GTA boasts the S-Code 390/320hp big
block V-8 backed by an automatic transmission. A true rarity of a
car to begin with then add in a copy of the window sticker and
build sheet!
For consignment, a wonderfully restored GTA (GT-A for automatic
transmission) complete with its 390ci V8 which is original to this
car. All buttoned up looking much like a mild mannered everyday
grocery getter. Once traded for a riding lawn mower, then restored,
we now have a classic only made in 1967 and it's a convertible!
Exterior
Once Mist Beige has now been resprayed with a beautiful red which
is miles deep and mostly rust free. Just a bit of rust with the
door sills on the outside, next to the window tracks. Gaps are well
minded, and within the hockey stick cove are some vents in the rear
quarter. The front is iconic Mustang look has the added benefit of
the fog lights just to the inside of the head lights. A GT gas cap
is on as well as a white rocker panel stripe with nicely restored
badging. Way back in for 1967, the taillights in 2 groups of threes
now V inward instead of outward. Dual exhausts, and a white canvas
power top with a glass rear window is looking snappy with the red
paint. Standard wheel covers are on all 4 corners.
Interior
Inside parchment vinyl abounds with the door panels making good use
of it along with some chromed surrounding trimmings, handles and
door actuator. A toggle for the rear view outside mirror is also
noted within this door panel. Nicely preserved and very clean low
back buckets with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters showing
in parchment vinyl with black seat belts. A rear 2 plus 2 bench in
the same pattern is also in. The dash is made up of two squared off
eyebrow bump ups for the black dash top. The driver's side housing
the round gauges, and the passenger side the glovebox. Fronting
this dash is a white tilt steering wheel with original badge in the
center. Below is a white metal panel which houses the radio (now
digital but retro-fitted nicely). This all hovers and floats above
and within black carpeting which is like new. A shout out to the
white tonneau cover nicely hiding the top in the down position, and
the trunk liner which is a plaid pattern and looking a lot like
Jackie Stewart's hat, pants, and shirts!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is an all buttoned up blue painted block and intake
manifold for this 390ci V8. Chromed valve covers and a chromed air
cleaner cover complete with correct stickers can be seen. Not even
a hint of any corrosion or rust, supple hoses and wiring and all
within a clean black engine bay. On back is a Cruise-o-Matic
automatic transmission (the A in the GTA designation) and bringing
up the tail is a Ford 9" with a conventional 3.00 gearset. We note
that the original Holley carburetor is included with the
purchase.
Undercarriage
Gazing at the underside of this classic, we note some surface rust
on the leaf springs and drum brake housings, but otherwise nicely
restored and painted black for the solid floor pans, rockers and
toe kicks. The torque boxes show some earlier repair but are now
rust free and structurally sound. Disc brakes are upfront, and for
the back are drums. Dual exhaust snakes its way back and expels
spent combustion gasses thru a stock style muffler.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and she rumbles nicely thru the stock style
exhaust. On the track and our drive it shows some nice snappy
acceleration, good handling and the GT equipment group all was
working well.
A not oft seen example, and even rarer convertible 390ci with an
automatic transmission. Nicely restored and now painted red with a
good job in doing the painting. Direct from 1967 to the Classic
Auto Malls Hallowed halls ripe for the picking, this car probably
has your name on it, so come and get it! Did I hear someone say
they needed a lawn mower?!
