The 1960s-era Ford Mustang has proven to be the ideal platform for
the resto-mod movement. Classic styling and road manners combined
with modern upgrades that improve handling, braking, safety, and
yes, even power, have carved a fresh path for Ford's iconic muscle
car. This Nightmist Blue 1967 Mustang convertible shows what's
possible when the best of vintage style and modern aftermarket
engineering lift a car to its true potential. The recipient of a
full rotisserie restoration in 2019, this Mustang is loaded with
thoughtful and unexpected details, from LED sequential taillights
to electric exhaust cutouts.
The interior features period highlights such as a wood-rimmed
steering wheel with center Cobra emblem, and a Hurst shifter topped
with a classic "cue ball" shift knob. Contemporary upgrades include
a Bluetooth stereo and sleek black-on-white gauges from Classic
Instruments. The interior was restored using TMI parts and
components. One unique and irreplaceable feature is the dash with
original autographs by Carroll Shelby, Phil Remington, and Bob
Bondurant.
The powertrain was built using proven Ford engine strategies. The
Ford Racing V8 is based on a 351 block bored and stroked to 427
cubic inches. The Boss 351 block is filled with a SCAT forged steel
crankshaft, SCAT H-beam connecting rods, ARP fasteners, and forged
Mahle pistons with floating wrist pins. The cylinder heads are Ford
Racing aluminum "Z2" units (M-6049-Z2), with 2.02 intake valves and
1.60 exhaust. The hydraulic roller camshaft checks in at
.594"/.618" lift and 242�/248� duration (@.050 in). The compression
ratio is 10.5:1 (nominal). Horsepower rings the bell at 535 @ 5600
rpm (498 at the wheels), with torque coming in at 545 lb.ft. @ 4500
rpm (535 at the wheels). The engine will be a hit with the hood
raised on car show days as well, with a March pulley system, finned
Ford Racing 427 Cobra valve covers, and careful underhood
detailing.
The engine is teamed with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for
maximum driving fun. The 9-inch Traction-Lok rear end with 3.73
gearing launches the car with authority. The Heidts coilover front
suspension and wide wheels with low-profile tires keep this Mustang
planted through corners in a way that a stock Mustang never
could.
Classic vibes and modern hardware create an irresistible
combination in this car. This unique resto-mod Mustang convertible
is being offered for $129,950.
