This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback combines serious factory pedigree
with thoughtfully selected performance upgrades, retaining the
character that makes an S-Code GT so desirable while making it
considerably more enjoyable on todays roads. According to its Elite
Marti Report, this Mustang was born a factory S-Code 390-4V
Fastback, finished in Candyapple Red over Red Decor Bucket Seats,
and equipped from new with the GT Equipment Group, four-speed
manual transmission, and limited-slip differential.
Today, the Mustang has been upgraded with a 5-speed manual
transmission for more relaxed highway cruising and a Holley Sniper
EFI system for improved starting, drivability, and fuel delivery.
The 390 is further enhanced with an Edelbrock Performer aluminum
intake manifold, mild camshaft, and long-tube headers feeding a
3-inch Flowmaster exhaust system. A Flex-a-lite 3-inch aluminum
radiator helps keep the big-block running cool, while power
steering, a Wilwood master cylinder, and front disc brakes further
improve drivability and braking performance.
The exterior is finished in its iconic Candyapple Red, and the
overall presentation is exceptional. The paint shows excellent
depth and gloss, complemented by clean, consistent panel fit and
well-defined body lines throughout the Fastback. The chrome,
stainless trim, emblems, glass surrounds, and other brightwork
present beautifully, providing the crisp contrast that makes the
Candyapple Red finish stand out. Legendary Magnum 500-style wheels
wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires complete the look, giving
this GT the muscular, period-correct stance a big-block 67 Mustang
deserves.
The Marti Report tells an impressive story. Of the 472,209 Mustangs
produced for 1967, just 17,350 were equipped with the 390-4V, and
only 9,759 combined the 390 with a four-speed manual transmission.
From there, this cars combination becomes increasingly uncommon:
only 1,275 were Candyapple Red, 93 combined that paint with Red
Decor Bucket Seats, 67 of those received the GT Equipment Group, 10
were equipped with the AM/8-Track Stereo Radio, four received the
Courtesy Light Group, and this was the only one of those equipped
with manual steering as originally built.
Its factory equipment list is extensive, including the GT Equipment
Group, limited-slip differential, Courtesy Light Group, F70-14
wide-oval tires, console, Deluxe steering wheel, Sport Deck rear
seat, AM/8-Track stereo, Exterior Decor Group, Interior Decor
Group, tinted glass, Deluxe seat belts, and styled steel
wheels.
This is much more than a great-looking '67 Fastback. It started
life as a genuine S-Code 390, four-speed, Candyapple Red GT, backed
by an Elite Marti Report and an unusually desirable list of factory
equipment. With its 5-speed, Sniper EFI, power steering, upgraded
braking, and big-block exhaust note, it delivers the pedigree
collectors look for with the drivability enthusiasts want.
