"Following the Mustang's super successful launch in 1964, Ford went
on to sell the model in huge numbers throughout 1965 and 1966.
Although tweaks were constantly being made to the pony car since
its inception, 1967 was the first real redesign, and many notable
differences were introduced for the first time. Cosmetically, the
biggest changes were a larger front grille, twin side scoops, (more
pronounced than the previous design), and a deep concave rear
panel. It's features like these that are the easiest ways to
distinguish 1967 cars from the earlier models." Hotcars.com
For consignment, a 1967 Ford Mustang convertible showing 3,120
miles, but the true miles are unknown. Owned by our consignor for
an astounding 45 years and presenting in good condition with plenty
of room for next level advancement. Looking for a classic Mustang
convertible? The sky's the limit with this drivable diamond in the
rough.
Exterior
If we were British, we would say this is a smashing color for the
car, Acapulco Blue surely named after the color of the sea on this
coastal Mexican city. There, in plain blue view are the field marks
that make this a '67, the twin ornamental side ducts, the curved
latch panel, (this one is ribbed!), and tail lights, and the more
prominent grille with of course, the running horse in a corral. The
headlight coves now lose the ridges features all the way up to '66
for a smoother presentation and our car features a '68 GT style
C-stripe in white on the side. 14-inch Keystone Klassic wheels
emulate the Styled Steel wheels while our black canvas top contains
a plastic window that is a bit hazy. Other imperfections include
extensive polka dotting of the paint with darker shade of blue
particularly on horizontal and upper panels as blue paint drizzled
from the sky. The canvas top is blotchy, there's some spotting on
the white stripe, hairline cracks, a drilled hole in the valance,
and an area of orange peel.
Interior
It's blue on blue for this '67 starting with the two tone door
panels of light blue surround dark blue vinyl inserts and both
doors with light patina and lending their colors to the low back
bucket seats in front and rear bench. Tuck and roll inserts give
the seats some style and comfort and both front seats show some
staining with a seam tear in the driver's unit. The rear seats are
in immaculate condition. The steering wheel shows use including a
crack and leads to the dashboard the houses five gauges in a
symmetrical pattern in a brushed aluminum trim plate that stretches
the width of the dash in nice shape under a slight bowed dash pad.
The center stack includes an AM radio, rollback door for a cubby,
and smoothly flows to the center console housing the T-shaped
shifter and indicator plate showing some age. Blue looped carpet
below wears vintage Mustang rubber mats and there's thicker carpet
covering the trunk floor.
Drivetrain
The engine is clean and blue and the chrome valve covers dress up
the 289ci V8 even more. There's also an Edelbrock intake manifold
and 4-barrel carburetor on board and the motor is backed by a C4
3-speed automatic transmission sending power to the Ford 8" in back
housing 2.79 gears. Our Stang is equipped with power steering.
Undercarriage
We don our scuba suits and head underneath this sea colored pony
car where we find generally clean conditions with some typical
surface rust and some residual oil about. A single exhaust flows
through a stock style muffler and exits without fanfare while drum
brakes take their place at all four wheels. Suspension is stock and
standard as well, with coil springs up front and leaf springs in
back.
Drive-Ability
We set off in this blue Mustang immediately noting a smooth idle
and good running car and enjoy the unmolested survivor quality of
the car. We're at more of a trot than a gallop as the tires are
over 30 years old. During our short jaunt, we note the clock,
radio, and rear turn signals don't work. In addition, the front
turn signals only work with the headlights off. All other functions
work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
See what we mean by drivable diamond in the rough? You can enjoy it
as is or take the straight body to the next level. There are fewer
and fewer survivor type collectables around and this one serves up
a menu of possibilities!
