Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop
The mustang is a free-roaming horse of the Western United States,
descended from horses brought to the Americas by the Spanish.
Mustangs are often referred to as wild horses, but because they are
descended from once-domesticated animals, they are actually feral
horses. The original mustangs were colonial Spanish horses, but
many other breeds and types of horses contributed to the modern
mustang, now resulting in varying phenotypes. Some free-roaming
horses are relatively unchanged from the original Spanish stock,
most strongly represented in the most isolated populations. These
were the preferred horses of the US Cavalry.
For consignment, a 1967 example of the Mustang which is sporting
all its original steel with consignor stated no bondo, and when
completely restored, careful attention was paid to making use of
all original or NOS parts right down to the paint, which is
actually a factory color, but applied much more carefully. All
mechanicals were completely rebuilt, and this is a multiple award
winning car. Those awards are an AACA Senior, AACA Grand National
Senior, and a Regional 1st Place win, (the consignor wishes to
retain the badges when the car sells) along with a slew of
otherAACA and MCA awards. Check it out, all photos and
documentation of the restoration are coming with the car, along
with a list and awards earned over the 27 year ownership reign of
the consigner.
Exterior
As noted meticulously restored in 1997, all panels are original and
were stripped down to bare steel, no bondo added or needed, then
bathed in factory correct Pebble Beige. The Pebble Beige paint is
excellent, gaps are well minded, and the design has changed a bit
from the first generation of this car. Mainly on the back of the
car where the tail lighting went to an inverted V format. Chrome is
excellent all around, stainless is all polished and pristine, and
badging is all correct. The rear quarter hockey stick cove has dual
vents. Not a Cobra Jet, not muscled or modded, just a 6 cylinder
example to show what the majority of consumers actually bought. No
fluff, just pure Mustang right out of 1967.
Interior
Opening the doors we are taken again back in time and see what the
customer saw in the showroom in 1967. Parchment color was used on
the door panels and interior seating as well as the dash. It is all
in perfect condition with low back buckets that sport tuck and roll
inserts, and smooth bolsters and backs. A chrome accenting is
covering the "hinge" for the seats. The dash is showing with a
black dash top and some parchment paint below and is all original.
Changes for this year were 2 large round gauges on either side of
the steering column and a trio of round smaller gauges stretched
out across the dash front top. This car has in dash factory AC and
the only change from the original ordered car is the radio which is
now an AM/FM mono radio. Stereo FM would come in 1968. Black
carpeting covers the floors, and above an original parchment
headliner is nice and tight. This is a 3-speed manual transmission
car and the shifter is on the hump reaching for the driver who
holds on to the original steering wheel, also presenting like
new.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the factory condition engine bay in black and in
the center is an inline 6 cylinder 200ci engine. It has a
beautifully painted blue block and valve covering as well as a
round no snout air cleaner covering. Hoses and wiring are nice and
supple, and AC is snaking through the compartment. On top is a 1
barrel carburetor and on back is the 3 speed manual transmission
with a 3.20 geared rear axle. All correct and all original but
completely rebuilt.
Undercarriage
All completely pristine with lots of red oxide paint, black sealer
and no rust components which include front independent coil springs
and rear leaf springs. Drum braking is all around and a like new
stock exhaust is on for the exhale. You will need a mirror for this
car to take to shows as this undercarriage is not to be missed.
Drive-Ability
After a brief warmup, it was off to the test track where this car
performed nicely. Solid braking, smooth acceleration although the
clutch has just a bit of chatter, and the brakes pulled to the
right. AC is all installed but not charged with R12.
Here is a near perfect example of what the real Mustang story is
about selling to the masses hundreds of thousands of everyday cars
that went from point A to paint B and all in style. The color
combination of Pebble Beige and Parchment is not often seen due to
this car's early manufacture date when the factory has yet to
change over to the 1967 colors of Wimbledon white replacing the
beige to go with the parchment. This car was manufactured in the
San Jose plant which was a bit behind on the changeover, which is
now to this car's advantage.
