Hiding in this garage is an extremely promising project candidate. Almost any First Generation Mustang is desirable, but this 1967 GT Fastback is among the most keenly sought by enthusiasts. It is undeniably rough around the edges, and the winning bidder will probably adopt a nut-and-bolt approach when returning this classic to its former glory. The seller has listed the GT here on eBay in Conyers, Georgia. Bidding has surpassed the reserve, currently at $17,219.
The history of this Mustang is unclear, with the seller admitting they have been its custodian for approximately one year. However, the indications are that it has been many years since it graced our streets. Finished in Clearwater Aqua, it would have been a stunning vehicle in its heyday. Time hasn’t treated it kindly, but we must look below the surface to discover its true worth. The seller indicates the car is solid, which I interpret to mean there are no penetrating rust issues in the floors, rails, torque boxes, or shock towers. There is extensive dry surface corrosion, and what I initially believed was rust along the lower door edges is nothing but moisture. It requires a hood and left-front fender, but the remaining panels appear to be free of significant issues. Most of the trim, including the distinctive GT grille, is beyond salvation, but the tinted glass may be okay.
The seller provides a single, blurred engine bay photo, but VIN decoding confirms that the first owner ordered this GT with an A-Code 289ci V8 under the hood. This motor represented a step up from the entry-level C-Code, delivering a factory quoted 225hp against the C-Code’s 200hp. They teamed the V8 with a four-speed manual transmission, and while it features power front disc brakes, I don’t believe that they opted for power steering. The seller has not provided information on whether the Mustang is numbers-matching. It is also unclear whether the motor runs or turns freely, so budgeting for a mechanical refresh as part of the build would be a wise strategy. After all, it’s better to have the funds and not need them than to need them and not have them.
The list of restoration tasks continues to grow as we focus on this Mustang’s interior. It is missing the factory radio but appears otherwise complete. Trimmed in Black vinyl, it features a desirable center console, but it requires a complete retrim as the starting point to recapture its youthful good looks. Kits retail for approximately $1,800 and include most of the vinyl, foam, carpet, and soft pieces needed to achieve a high-end result. A new wheel will find its way onto the shopping list, and a close inspection will undoubtedly reveal other items requiring replacement.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback may have attracted only four bids, but the Listing View and Watch List tallies of 434 and 68, respectively, confirm that it has drawn plenty of attention since hitting the market. That suggests the action may intensify as the end approaches. Whipping this gem into shape will require deep commitment, but if it is as solid as the seller indicates, it is a prime candidate for a faithful restoration. If a First Generation Mustang is on your radar, could this GT be a contender?
Another intriguing find!
I like the sellers comment “The vehicle needs work and is not regularly driven.” Based on the images, I doubt it COULD be driven, regularly or irregularly…
Was also expecting the listing to say that the wheels aren’t part of the deal – they’re just to help get the car on and off of a trailer.
The spirited A-code 289 is a great performance engine. With the potential of more ponies available now. Ive heard stories of these small hi-revving V-8’s shame many a big blocks back in the day. Unencumbered with a big block in the engine compartment. This Mustang should be nimble and fun as all get out to drive with the 4-spd.
Must’ve been modified some how, I’ve never seen or heard of any A code 289,s even coming close to taking out a big block car, even the K codes didn’t have enough steam, Ford did build a small block car that definitely embarrassed many big block cars back in 71, the Boss 351 Mustang, it put a hurting on many big blocks back in the day, i don’t mean LS 6 454,s or Hemi cars, but 383 Mopars, 396 Chevy,s Definitely saw the Taillights on many Boss 351 Mustangs, as long as the driver was in sync with the Top Loader. Now that was a serious small block Ford put out in 71.
If the next owner wants to do a faithful restoration they will need to purchase a correct set of 1967 Mustang front bucket seats. The seats currently in this car do not look like the correct ones to me. It also has the fairly rare connivence group option. You can see the 4 warning light spots in the face of the console beside the garage door. It looks like the 2 on the right side of the door may be missing though. Hopefully they are still with the car as they will not be easy to find.
Money pit
Pile of parts here. Nice wheels though. Whoever buys this should have good 2nd ’67 ‘Stang and use this as spares.
It’s a fastback 4 speed car but price is to high for the work needed.
I agree, whomever buys this ride, you must be committed to a full frame off restoration,I’d make an offer between 7 and 10gs, the new buyer is looking at about 50gs for a top line restoration, but at the end, we’ll worth it
Too late for a low offer as there are three bidders at over $17,000 so far and it ends tomorrow. Top bidder at this point, though, has zero purchases or sales on eBay. We can see results soon.
Cathouse is totally correct about the console…but I believe the seat frames and hard parts are part of the interior upgrade package available when new (but not the upholstery)…I see an overhead console in stainless steel, and the doors have the optional grille with the speakers, suggesting it either had an AM/FM or AM/8 track (most likely) as ordered. Without a Marti, I am speculating here, but back when these were new, I owned many of them, in varying levels of trim. This car in the right hands, will become close to a Hope Diamond, if treated right. Also, the inserts on the door panels should be matching stainless steel.
Pretty rough for the ask. That busted lip, rough interior; did somebody try to rip the steering wheel out of it? Need to see the condition of the floors, and better pictures all around.
Would not the floors be the least of concern, more so the frame. Floors are readily obtained as are most of sheet metal, I think.
Looks like an extra from the Dukes of Hazzard and IMHO is asking too high a price for this rock (not gem).

No full frame off restoration on this, would be impossible being that all Mustangs are of Sub Frame design, But I’m pretty sure what you mean.
don’t get the whole mustang thing. these wrecks are almost bringing rotted out Mopar #s
This year and the 69 are the same body types to the I believe 05 thtu 2010, my ex has a black 08, but it’s automatic, sucks, however these old relics are worth saving, better than dealing with the new ones that don’t even look like ponies anymore, just like the new vetts
$17,820 with 20 hours to go. Just can’t see it. But hey, watching Meecum the other night, I realized there’s a million people with millions to spend on their hobby.
Sold on 1/31/2026 for a high bid of $20,500. There were 21 bids with 5 differs.
