If you are searching for a restored classic, they don’t come much fresher than this 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible. Only two months have passed since the build ended, leaving no time for faults or issues to accumulate. It is a turnkey proposition, and even the V8 under the hood has received recent TLC. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Curvette for spotting the Mustang listed here on eBay in Memphis, Tennessee. Bidding sits at a mere $1,025 and, unsurprisingly, that figure is below the reserve.

After its overwhelming showroom success in 1965 and 1966, Ford unveiled a significantly updated Mustang for the 1967 model year. It represented the badge’s first facelift, but it wouldn’t be the last. Although ostensibly viewed as a cosmetic refresh, Ford’s primary motivation was to increase the Mustang’s physical size to accommodate larger engines under the hood. The history of this ’67 Convertible is unclear, although the seller indicates that the Brittany Blue paint cloaking its exterior is as fresh as it comes, leaving the gun and hitting the panels two months ago. Therefore, its flawless presentation is unsurprising. The panels are as straight as an arrow, and the underside shots reveal the cleanest floors you will find beneath any classic of this vintage. I suspect the White soft-top is as new as the paint, as are the beautiful chrome styled wheels. With excellent trim and clear glass, this Mustang makes a positive first impression.

The seller emphasizes that every aspect of this Mustang is new or restored. Therefore, it appears that the refurbishment included a partial retrim in two-tone Blue Deluxe vinyl. The carpet beneath the driver’s feet looks slightly dirty, the only visible flaw worth noting. The dash and bright trim are comfortably acceptable for a driver-grade classic, and hitting the road with the top down won’t embarrass the new owner. Those seeking creature comforts will welcome the ice-cold air conditioning and the retro-style stereo with kickpanel-mounted speakers.

While Ford’s primary motivation when performing the Mustang’s 1967 update was to accommodate larger motors, the 289ci remained a staple for V8 buyers. This car’s VIN indicates that the first owner ordered it with the C-Code version, delivering 200hp and 282 ft/lbs of torque. By selecting a three-speed automatic transmission and power-assisted steering and brakes, they guaranteed an effortless driving experience. You didn’t think that the builder neglected this Mustang’s mechanical components during the restoration, did you? The engine and transmission are freshly rebuilt, and though I can’t be certain, the V8 appears to wear an upgraded intake and carburetor to liberate additional ponies. The brakes received a front disc upgrade, and the power steering benefits from a new Borgeson power steering pump and box. The seller states that the winning bidder could use this classic as a daily driver. Therefore, they could fly to Memphis, visit Graceland to see how Elvis lived, and drive home in this Convertible.

Some cars will inevitably remain staples of the classic scene for as long as people like you and me have gasoline flowing through our veins. The First Generation Mustang is one such vehicle, as its overwhelming success upon release has made it a global legend. People clamored to buy one off the showroom floor, and the Mustang is probably more popular now than at any time in the past six decades. The listing statistics for this 1967 Convertible demonstrate that, and though these numbers haven’t translated into bids, I believe that the action will intensify. Whether it finds a new home will depend on the seller’s reserve. What do you feel would be a fair price?
