Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Mustang Convertible
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 Dark Moss Green metallic on the
exterior, a shiny snazzy interior, and a white canvas convertible
top. I do, I do...really love this car!
Exterior
Bathed in a very nicely applied Dark Moss Green Metallic, straight
steel abounds. Gaps are consistent and straight and only some minor
scratches and chips are noted in the finish. The iconic hockey
stick cove is present in the rear quarters and it flows into the
doors. From the front bumper, grille galloping horse and wheel well
as well as rocker trim all chrome is very nice with no dimpling or
dulling. For 1967 styling becomes slightly more aggressive on a
simpler grille and deeper headlights, and on the back the former
outward V shaped sergeant stripe tail lights have now been inverted
to inward, but still using 6 individual lights. Original wheels
have been replaced with 14-inch chrome laden styled steel wheels,
wrapped in nearly new 215/75R14 blackwall rubber. A white manually
actuated canvas top in near showroom condition with a plastic rear
window is the dollop of whipped cream on top if you will.
Interior
A manual lowering of the ceremonial convertible, (a rite of summer
if you will), and we see black vinyl that is all in excellent
condition. Shining like the showroom, the front buckets and rear
bench welcome you to get in and drive. A floor shifter sits proudly
on the hump which is covered by black carpet that is slightly faded
to brown. An all original very clean dash and instrument cluster is
seen, and it has A/C vents but currently the A/C is not hooked up.
This car has factory power steering.
Drivetrain
The standard 289ci V8 is in an original engine bay which is clean
and presents with a nice patina, all in blue painted glory. A
single 2-barrel carburetor, (Autolite 2100 Carb), and a top loader
4 speed manual transmission are also attached.
Undercarriage
A Ford 8-inch 3.00 limited slip axle is attached to a solid rust
free aged gracefully frame. Some surface rust is on the usual
suspects. All structurally sound under here, with drum brakes and
stock single piped exhaust. Plenty of patches on the rear frame
rail are seen, but no rust.
Drive-Ability
Twas a nice day indeed so we put the top down and me and cohort
went for a jaunt. We found this car to run well, handle nicely,
shift smoothly, and corner with ease. We noted no A/C, (needs a
condenser), but all other functions...well...functioned!
An older restored example still maintaining its luster, sporty
interior, and smooth-running power plant. Very nice paint, clean
tear free manual operating convertible top, sporty wheels, and
shiny chrome and trim. I feel we will be together at least until
death do us part.
