Just in time for America’s Independence Day, this patriotic pony car shows evidence of white, red, and blue paint jobs during its 55 years of service. The 1967 Ford Mustang GT lost its original 390 V8 and four-speed manual transmission, but stamping and data plate data decode to a true 390 four-speed GT, and an early one at that. A Marti Report shows the 2274th Mustang of 1967 with a build date of September 1, 1966. The GT sports new fenders, a donor hood, and prior floor pan repairs, leaving an all-around solid looking pony car. Undercarriage pictures show abundant surface rust but nothing to sidetrack a skilled enthusiast from bringing this once-potent pony back to life. Check out more pictures here on Craigslist where an attention-grabbing $29,500 makes it yours. Thanks to reader T.J. for spotting this rough restorable Ford.
Originally Wimbledon White with a two-tone blue vinyl interior, this was one sharp ride. The GT package added power front disc brakes, fog lights, dual exhaust with quad outlets, a GT gas cap, rocker stripes, and more. Thanks to Ford for some details.
The sporty fastback recalls better days, but grab a computer and a credit card and watch parts galore for the popular classic 2+2 fill your door step. Extending the fastback across the trunk marks one design evolution from the first-generation Mustang. This element combines with the concave tail light panel and upward-swept bumper caps for a stylish exit strategy.
Redesigned for ’67, the engine bay could now accommodate the 390 cid (6.4L) FE block V8. Later ’67 Mustangs and Shelby versions could be ordered with a ground-pounding 428 cid (7.0L) V8, a modified Thunderbird mill. Picked clean by scavengers, this GT gazes toward a far horizon, glimpsing a fuzzy image of its restored status as a gorgeous head-turner. Reports vary, but most sources indicate that early 390 cars in 1967 did not feature “big block” braces on its lower strut towers. Shadows indicate their post-production addition and removal sometime in this car’s past, suggesting this GT covered some of its reported 99,000 miles in quarter-mile increments. Does this true GT roller’s asking price leave room in your budget for a full restoration?
Attention grabbing is right, Todd. Okay $29,500 without an engine or transmission with a bonus air cleaner (I thought being a GT it should have a chrome air cleaner lid) plus needing a complete restoration. I must be living on another planet and completely out of touch with reality or this Seller has some very high aspirations possibly from smoking something.
The old saying, “A fool and his money soon part company” would apply to this pile of tin. You’d have to be nuts to spend this much money on a NOTHING car.
Don’t judge the seller.
Judge the buyer? Will never be a number matching car and it will be a money pit.
Don’t judge the seller,and accuse of using drugs.
You can buy a complete 1967 Mustang shell brand new for less than this
True, but it’s not an original Mustang, with an original Vin number, and a pedigree. That’s the same as saying you can buy a kit Cobra for less than an original Cobra. Both are fine. It just depends on what you want and what the market dictates.
I could have bought a Dark Green 68 GT 390 4spd identical to the Bullitt Car for $995 asking price at my local Ford Dealer in 1978. I passed on it as I had nowhere to store it. It was a good runner but had a few dings being a Daily Driver but no rust yet back then it was just a used car.
I have a buddy with a GT500 clone. Runs a 502 in it. It is beautiful. Drives it regularly. You could buy his car for the same kind of money and just enjoy it. This thing may just be the next Elanor we see in 6 months all customed out and selling for 150K.
