Ford performed its first update to its mega-successful Mustang for the 1967 model year. Although part of the approach was to provide a visual refresh, the increased dimensions were designed to accommodate larger engines than the 289ci V8 that had been a staple of the range to that point. This 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback benefits from that philosophy, with its engine bay housing a 390ci V8. The vehicle presents nicely as a driver-grade classic, and I must extend a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting it listed here on Craigslist in Sandy Point, Washington. The seller set their price at $70,000, although they may consider trades for an appropriate Porsche.
This Mustang appears to tick the boxes for a driver-grade classic. The seller confirms that the existing Wimbledon White isn’t original, with the vehicle undergoing a color change in the early 2010s from an unspecified shade of Green. They recently treated the car to a paint correction and panel alignment, taking the opportunity to repair a couple of minor rust spots. This exercise cost them a cool $10,000, but the Fastback looks as pretty as a picture. I can’t spot any significant cosmetic shortcomings, and with the rust addressed, it appears that this classic is rock-solid. The trim and glass are in excellent condition, and Ford’s beautiful chromed styled steel wheels suit this gem perfectly.
Lifting the hood reveals this Mustang’s party piece. The first owner equipped it with what was the 1967 range-topping 390ci V8. The car also features a four-speed manual transmission and power assistance for the steering and the front disc brakes. Previously, those opting for the “ultimate” Mustang chose the K-Code 289ci V8, which produced 271hp and 312 ft/lbs of torque. The S-Code 390 boosted those figures to 320hp and 427 ft/lbs, giving the Mustang genuine muscle car credentials. The seller doesn’t specifically state that this Fastback is numbers-matching, although the listing hints that it might be. There is no supplied information regarding the car’s mechanical health. However, I would expect any 1967 Mustang within this price range to run and drive perfectly.
Focusing on this Mustang’s interior reveals another aspect of this classic that enjoys excellent presentation. The Black vinyl is free from wear and stretching, and the matching carpet exhibits only minimal wear. The dash and pad are in good condition, as is the plastic. It appears that the first owner focused primarily on performance, because the AM radio seems to be the only creature comfort.
This 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback is a tidy driver-grade classic with no apparent needs. It represents a pivotal moment when the company made a significant leap forward, offering buyers a choice of large-capacity V8 engines for the first time. The 390ci unit under this Mustang’s hood was range-topping in 1967, but there was more to come as the Mustang blurred the line between pony and muscle cars with an ever-growing engine range. Having said that, recent sales results suggest that the seller’s price might be optimistic. However, the classic market is nothing if not unpredictable, and someone may find this Fastback irresistible. Do you?
Wowza.. being a mustang fan me like very much….
I could’ve went timberline green but the 390 over shadows choice.
70 is a pretty penny but its whatever the market will bear 🐻 and time will tell.
Surprised there’s no tach.
My opinion; Very nice car. Turn signal hood is a plus. $70 k is all the $ money in the world for a stdrd. Interior low optioned fastback. I noticed the exhaust is dual with a stdrd. Valance; so probably was a single exhaust car. . I just finished a rotisserie on a 67 G.T. 350. Nothing is cheap but $70 seems really heavy.
Door tag says S code 390 from factory. All 390 4barrels came standard with dual exhaust. GT models have the cutouts in the rear valance for the pipes, standard models got the turndowns.
I always liked the looks of the ’67 better than the earlier models. It looks like it “grew up”. But a 390 with a 4 speed is icing on the cake.
Little history on the looks of the ’67s.Ford’s Lee Iacocca went to Carroll Shelby and asked him to design a “sporty car”to escape the “secretary” car era of the original car. He got Peter Brock to design what would become the GT350 and the racing began. He also talked Ford into the big stripes that established it’s identity forever.
Ok not a 390/4-speed,but i sold my one owner 67’FB 289/3 speed in 1992 for $ 1,500,mine had the same interior.
For that kinda money you should be getting a Marti report that gives you all the answers.
M.
The Craigslist ad says it comes with a “Martini” report so I guess it lists the owner’s favorite gin.
$70 grand? Is that what they are selling for these days? Holy cow.
My, my! I will always be attracted to these like a bee to clover. Eighteen year old me managed to acquire one of these in 1969. Mine was a GT, light blue with a three speed. I drove the snot out of it. Five dollars of Sunoco 260 and on the prowl for anyone that wanted to street race. Good times. So would I love to have this one in my garage? Hell yes. Will it ever happen? No way. The market is way too rich for me to justify buying it. The wife probably wouldn’t be really too happy either. GLWTS.
“Party piece”😄. Love the terminology!! Now if only I can remember it for future reference.
My first car in 1970 was a 67 Mustang, but nothing like this one. It was a Brittany blue coupe with a six cylinder three speed, peeling paint, a broken steering wheel and a 200 6cyl that burned as much oil as it did gas. I would certainly take this car, but that price is a little too steep.
