Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop
From the 1967 Mustang advertising, bred first... to be first. Then
going on to list various features and at the end that say and I
quote "Smitten? Great! I now pronounce you man and Mustang?"
A marriage made in heaven with Rangoon Red on the exterior, a shiny
snazzy two toned red and white interior, new center console, and
plenty of new bodywork and improvements to remediate all rust. I
do, I do..... really love this car!
Exterior
Complete with the hockey stick vented panel in the front of the
rear quarter, and extending into the doors, this gleaming red
example has been expertly massaged on the body work front with new
frame rails, rear partial frame rails, floor pans, door skins,
trunk lid, rear quarters and wheel wells, battery apron, front
fender lowers and then a new fresh respray. The gaps are now spot
on and all is nice and tight. For this year, the grill remains
virtually the same but the rear has gone to inverted V triple tail
lights which is just the opposite of the previous version of the
back of this car. All chrome is excellent including all trimmings
and in all 4 corners are Koenig wide 8-spoke mag wheels wrapped in
BFG raised white lettered Radial T/A's Shine on you crazy red rust
free diamond!
Interior
A swing of the doors and what's inside is eye popping! Shining like
the showroom, the front buckets and rear bench welcome you to get
in and drive into new style. That style being low back bomber
styled buckets with red bolsters and white inserts. The white
utilizes some tuck and roll with smooth edges. Chromed trimmings
run up the center of the edges and hide the hinges for the folding
backs to access the rear seating. On the hump is a new console also
in matching red with a high deep glovebox/armrest and dual cup
holders. In front of this, also residing on the hump is the shift
lever. Slipping past the 3 point seat belts I climbed in the back
onto a nice bench that matches the front seats perfectly and all in
excellent condition. Speaking of which, on front is the factory
dash also upgraded from the original design and harkening back to
the 1964.5 models still with dual round instruments, but now with
the addition of 3 more rounds in smaller format just above and
between the larger rounds. Black vinyl with a bit of texture is the
background and then it changes to white steel, which goes back and
forth between the white and red for that horizontal strip which
runs entirely across the dash in front. I note a new AM/FM/CD
player and a Grant GT rally padded steering wheel replacing the
original. Beautiful red carpeting covers the floors and has badged
mustang stitched carpeted floor mats protecting it. The dash top is
pristine with no cracks and above a tight deep red headliner floats
above all this finery, which is literally all new!
Drivetrain
The standard 200ci inline 6 cylinder is in an original engine bay
which is clean and presents with a nice patina, all in blue painted
glory. A single 1-barrel carburetor and a 3 speed manual
transmission from the factory is attached. On the back, a Ford 7.25
rear pumpkin resides. New wiring and hoses and a new clutch and
pressure plate with less than 3800 miles is now in.
Undercarriage
I note a solid rust free aged gracefully frame. Noted above are the
new undercarriage parts plus new torque boxes for better structural
rigidity for this car. Some surface rust is on the usual suspects
but nothing invasive is seen. All structurally sound under here,
with drum brakes and stock exhaust. Independent coil spring
suspension in front and leaf springs for the rear.
Drive-Ability
A test drive reveals just how nice this restoration really is with
a totally comfy interior and the new console is fab! The car fired
right up and off I went for my drive which included the necessary
initial Panic stop test which out assed with flying bias free
colors. Nice acceleration from the I-6 which runs super smooth and
smooth easy shifting. All functions were working swimmingly at the
time off the test drive.
With new parts aplenty to remediate any rust, we now have virtually
a new structurally stable 67 model 'Stang with an I-6 and snazzy
interior all new. Hurry on in as this will not last long. The
public loves this kind of restoration and so will you when you lay
your short little hands in it, you will not be able to take them
off! You wild horse, you..!
