Dang. Bidding is already at $34,000 for this 1967 Ford Mustang S-Code, and there’s still close to four days left in the auction. The seller is correct that this one checks a lot of the proper boxes, from a fastback body to a four-speed to air conditioning, along with many other desirable options. Find the Mustang here on eBay and located in Wisconsin.
What’s interesting is this Mustang appears to have been ordered by an enthusiast back in the day based on the options: the aforementioned S-Code package along with a limited-slip rear end and basically a no-frills car other than A/C. It even retails “styled” steel wheels, though they did splurge on power steering. The backseat is the “Sport Deck” version with the fold-down option.
The interior is in largely preserved shape, although no pictures of the front buckets are included. This car has a “Bullitt-like” vibe to me with the big block motor, manual transmission and steel wheels (yes, I know purists, it’s not the same thing – just a random thought that wandered into my head). The seller points out that this car remains in a highly-preserved state with many rare parts still attached, and that the interior panels have never been cut up.
The engine is a bit of a mixed bag. Even though the original spec and options make it a desirable car, the seller believes the block is from is a later example. He also states, “…the engine has a early 1967 intake manifold and the real deal GT heads and exhaust manifolds as well as a new H-pipe, I don’t know if they are original to the car but could be.” Knowing for sure doesn’t appear to be affecting bidders’ opinions of the Mustang, and it will be interesting to see where the final bid ends up.
Earlier restoration so buyer should check it out in person. Where did you see “styled steel wheels” all I’m seeing is some old Comet poverty caps ?
Like the mustang earlier on barn find’s–let the hate begin!!!
That ’67 Mustang 390 S Code sure is sparking a lot of interest. There are a lot of ’67-’68 Mustangs and Cougars still running around with Date Code correct 390 FE engine blocks, just not the born at the factory with FE engine blocks including my ’68 Mercury Cougar XR-7 GT 390.
I have a 68 Cougar GT (non XR7) that has the original numbers match 390. Wish it was a four speed , but still a blast to drive. I have $34k invested in it and it’s cherry. If sticker shock on mustangs is deterring you from owning one, I highly recommend a comparable Cougar. Same car with a different skin.
I wonder how many more Mustings they have hidden in Gratiot. This is the third one from them I have seen on Barn Finds recently.
Hmmm… private listing “protecting” bidders identity… Red Flag for shill bidding.
Can I just point out a couple posts ago I totally called that you guys would be featuring this? :)
You were right! Same guy who says “I do not need to sell this car”.
Who cares about all the other crap–all I see is “Bullitt”. It will go much higher. It is all emotion After all it should be worth a lot more than a burnt Superbird Morley
Don’t really know what the seller means by h-pipe as being original, didn’t these all have twin pipes into a single crossflow muffler with dual tailpipes from the factory? Or maybe I’m thinking more in 5.0 Mustang tech. Neat car by the way.
The 390s, have an H-pipe connecting the exhaust pipes off the manifold right after the transmission and then follow the path you describe.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin for 30 years and never heard of Gratiot, Wisconsin. Talk about MOFN. Yes, beware of the Salt God. My 2002 Acura TLS, best vehicle I’ve ever owned, did 12 years mostly in WI (the other two in Michigan), and the front frame was sadly rusted to a near dangerous condition when I sold it. And that was with washing it once a week in winter. I warned the buyer before hand that it was an issue.
Hi Steve, Gratiot is about 60 miles south west of Madison, near the border. Been there many times, cool little Village. Maybe 500 people?
I am not the same Steve that never heard of Gratiot Wisconsin before, but I am A Steve that has never heard of it either, & I have been living all my 48 years in Milwaukee. Thank you Lieniedude for the “mental map”. I love our state (in spite of the weather) & love exploring it. I am going this weekend to see my son in Black River Falls & to see a cousin in Hayward. Might stop by another cousin in Tamahawk on my way back to civilization. Take ‘er easy Leinie!
Hey Stevieg, sounds like a great trip! Man, you are going to be pretty close to Chippewa Falls. Stop at the Leinie Lodge and have two free ones on Jake. And if you have time, drive through the Zoo, it’s close to the Lodge. Pretty cool. Take care, Mike.
