A Mustang Fastback is easily a dream car due to its great looks and movie appearances such as “Bullitt”. This 1967 GT has covered 67,000 miles and for some unknown reason was pulled apart and stored in a car port for who knows how long. Appearing rock solid, with its original drive train, this Mustang is definitely an interesting project. Bidding has run wild with 52 bids and 5 days until the auctions end. The current bid price is $19,078.00. Take a look at it here on eBay out of Columbia, Virginia.
The engine compartment is rust free, dirty, and empty, minus a battery. There is an engine and transmission included that are claimed to be original to the car. The engine looks to be stored in a box truck with a roll up door, and the transmission looks to be in the same place. I would have liked to have seen the engine sealed off from the elements, as well as the transmission, and the entire car.
The interior is disappointing, as it all seems in very fair shape minus the mildew, dirt, and mold that have collected for who knows how long. One thing you may notice is that the floors are completely sprayed with primer. I am curious about this cars history as to the manor it was disassembled, and the fact that there is a lot of primer present on the floors, and on the rear of the car.
From what can be seen in the photos, the body of this GT appears to be rock solid with no apparent faults to point out. Again I am curious about this car’s history, and if it may have been wrecked or rusty in its past. The seller claims to have everything for this car, and if it is as solid as it appears, this could be an “easy” restoration. What do you think this great GT project will sell for?
19k bud no engine ! Really ?
On you on crack ?
😉
What the market will bare! There is always someone out there willing to buy pushing some cars into the stratisphere and beyond…asking Our selves, REALLY!
I believe the original engine was included in the sale.
Engine & trans seem to be included as part of the sale. As for the $19k bidding .. I’m not a Mustang [or muscle car] guy, so I dunno. Someone seems to think it’s worth it.
Seven years ago my brother in-law sold his ’67 fastback for $9600. It wasn’t in any better shape than this and was only partially assembled. We threw in a 302 & 3 speed tranny of unknown origin. These 67-68 fastbacks are very valuable.
You need to read the complete description, it state it comes with the complete original drive train!
Paint it Highland Green and add Torq Thrust wheels. Pretend you’re Steve McQueen. Chase vintage Chargers.
Everything you’d need is available, but $20K is too much for the price of admission to this fantasy.
Owner says car was running great when engine was pulled…?
Anyway, red/red big block 4 speed straight/no rust; seems like a wonderful candidate for a 427 side oiler and restore everything else. It would bolt right in and provide years of fun. Maybe $38k tops is what I think it worth to buy into this project and end up around $80k into finished car. Then like ccrvtt says, chase down a ’68 charger and see if he can get away.
Sold for 24k in this condition. Going to take a lot to make this a decent car and people thought the nice GTX was overpriced. For 34k you drive away a beautiful car. You won’t get this on the road for that. But only Mopar people are crazy.
Sold!
For $24,000. At least that’s what eBay says
Crazy how times have changed! This mustang looks like it was taken apart years ago and just never finished. Hopefully it was stored properly, which looks like it compared to so many that where not. Its just the money that people pay.
It looks a lot more solid than most though. hope it gets into proper hands if it really is a bb 4spd. GTA? I didn’t read the ebay part if i,m missing something.
Just had to put my 2 cents in lol
I would say it got rear ended on the passenger side, taken apart to pull it, never put back together.
Ended, sold for $24K.
Looks like it might have avoided getting rusty, maybe because it’s in Virginia and has been laid up for a long time. If it is the original 390 engine and 4-speed, and has a lot of the parts still with the car, someone who knows these cars can probably make it work for $24K plus some more cash plus lots of work….and come out ahead compared to buying a resto’d car.
I’d love to own it…almost as much as a ’68 Bullitt tribute. I hope it goes to a good home, that is, a home that contains a buyer who will actually complete the resto…..then bring it to Cars ‘n Coffee so it can be seen, maybe even by me.
Bore out to 406, heavy cam solid lifter kit ,headers carb and intake, and you still got a slug.
Do not know just where a 427 side oiler can be found cheaply, although some are out there.
One can find street drivers for far less than what one would have just to reach street driver level with this one.
Maybe in 20 years. This style Stang just a stang with special letters on em, and even numbers matching for these is not that much higher value.
A full rotisserie job, no way, take full year and by then market value, IMO, will realy be down.
it no 427 that are cheap .if you find one fore cheap it probly needs a few sleavs .its nearly better to by a new 427 block
20K for this when you can buy a nice finished one for in the 30’s, nope not me.
Another cool movie mustang was the blue fast back Jeff Bridges raced around in the movie “hard driver” also known as “the last American hero”. Know nothing about that certain car but it sure was mean
Oh, for cryin’ out loud. There you have it folks, that’s what we’re up against, people are actually paying that,,,for this. Didn’t think this was that rare, wasn’t a 390, 4 speed a pretty common Mustang in’67? And who in their right mind, would believe 67K miles? I’m sorry, this is terrible.
You pay $20K for the car – put in $10K – and you end up with a car worth about $30K. Seems to be a long way to go when you can by a fairly nice driver for the same money. I guess you can say you did the work and made it yours for that extra time and effort.
I hear ya’, but I think your figures are a bit off ( don’t feel bad, I’m out of the loop when it comes to restoration costs too) but it’s almost $25g’s for the,,,car,,and again as much, I bet, or more, for a full restoration. A quick check on Hemmings, shows these “S” codes (?) are listed for $50-$60g’s so I suppose. Like you say, the choice is there’s. We’re just kicking ourselves, that we didn’t scarf up every muscle car 30 years ago for peanuts.
Being a rustang on a dirt floor garage would make me want to look closely. If all the parts are there, who know, 24k seems high but then its only worth what someone will pay for it. 390 4 speed is one quick pony!
Good luck to the new owner!
Please…. no more “Bullit” replicas or resto-mod ’67-68 fastbacks. It’s getting to the point that it’s less common to see one restored to stock or near-stock condition.
All that money and a mostly complete car with the a big engine and everyone wants to clone Bullitt. Don’t get me wrong that is a beautiful car, but you don’t waste a nice one like this on a clone. Clone a 6 cylinder, coupe-fastback conversion, or a rotbox, not one that is this nice of a car.
This one is most likely destined to be over-restored to stock. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Sold for 24K, guess I’ll try putting the 70 Mach1 back on ebay.
Be sure to change the sparkplugs in that 390 while it’s out of the car :)
EZ fix restoration? Ridiculous. I hope none of the barn finder peeps actually believe that. I know we have a drug problem in this country but there is no such thing as an easy restoration! Please! With the quality of repro junk parts you can’t just bolt stuff on and have it look good!
Where’s Keith ?
I’m not a Mustang or a Ford guy but as far as mustangs go 67 and 68 or definitely more to my liking car looks to be in pretty workable condition course pictures can be deceiving but I hope somebody puts it together as original as possible. I agree with CCFisher and AMX Brian. Good luck to the new owner I’m sure you’ll make it a nice car again.
