Vehicle Description
Vintage Mustangs are cool cars all by themselves, but add more
power, sizzling red paint, and a comfortable white vinyl interior,
and suddenly a great car becomes very memorable. This incredibly
clean 1967 Ford Mustang coupe features a strong 289 small block V8,
factory air conditioning, great road manners, and a lot of vintage
style that really separates it from its contemporaries. Take a
closer look but do so quickly, because dialed-in '67 Ponies that
looks this good never last long.
There's no avoiding that gorgeous Code T Candyapple Red paint job,
and there's quite honestly nothing better than a red Mustang,
regardless of the body style. A close inspection reveals few flaws,
with outstanding prep and attention to detail and a shine that
looks like a million bucks thanks to laser-straight sheetmetal
underneath. The depth of the paint is impressive as well, and
despite the paint job being a few years old, it still presents with
a luster more indicative of a newer finish. Sure, it's no longer
perfect, but if you're looking for a top driver-quality finish that
will flat-out show-off at your local car show, well then you've
found it. It's kind of nice to see that they resisted the usual
urge to add stripes and hood scoops and spoilers, and instead let
the clean coupe styling speak for itself. In addition, all the
chrome and brightwork is quite nice on this car, including things
like the door handles and individual surrounds for the
triple-element taillights, a Mustang trademark from the beginning.
Bright bumpers are the perfect punctuation to this neat pony, and
you'll note that there are subtle cut-outs in the rear pan for the
dual exhaust system.
Inside, a nearly spotless parchment bucket seat interior shows a
restorer's touch - not a customizers wild imagination - something
most Mustang fans will appreciate. The original gauges remain in
place and keep an eye on the upgraded powerplant under the hood,
and the clear lenses and bright markings indicate that no expense
was spared on the restoration. The fat wood-rimmed steering wheel
is the biggest modification inside, but it looks right in the
vintage Ford's interior, and works in conjunction with power
steering system to make it a pleasure to drive. Fresh seat covers,
plush black carpets, a taut headliner, and matching door panels all
add to the factory-fresh look, and the subtle combination will
never, ever go out of style. The only other modifications are the
removable center console with cup holders that splits the front
seats, and the JVC AM/FM/CD stereo head unit fitted in the dash
that powers the speakers throughout the passenger compartment. Oh,
and I almost forgot: this car has factory A/C, a rather rare sight
for 1967, and it's fully functional and blowing cold thanks to
modern R134a refrigerant. Out back, the trunk is outfitted with a
correct plaid mat and full-sized spare with a matching cover.
The great thing about Ford small blocks is that they make big power
in a small package. The 289 cubic inch V8 under the hood is dressed
to impress with a full Cobra-style dress-up kit, and you can see
that they were careful to reproduce a period performance look with
the chrome air cleaner and finned valve covers. Freshly rebuilt to
mostly stock specs, it's friendly on the street with good torque,
it's a great performer with a great V8 bellow at full throttle. An
Edelbrock 4-barrel provides the go-juice while long-tube headers
scavenge the exhaust gases and dump them through long-tube headers
that feed a custom Flowmaster dual exhaust system. Power steering
and power 4-wheel disc brakes work with new shocks all around to
make this vintage Mustang feel decades younger and the C4 3-speed
automatic feeds an 8-inch rear which should have 2.79 factory gears
inside, so it's actually pretty decent on the highway. Beautiful
Torque Thrust "Old Style" wheels are what all the cool kids were
using back-in-the-day and wear 225/60/15 BFGoodrich T/A
white-letter radials that finish off the look perfectly.
Expertly restored and expertly maintained ever since, this pretty
pony is a mild resto-mod that emphasizes the Mustang's strong
points and drives superbly. Call today!
