Originality is often considered desirable in the classic world, but well-executed custom builds can command equal respect. That term perfectly describes this 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback. Its presentation is hard to fault, even though it has undergone a color change. Every aspect of this car presents well for a high-end driver whose only immediate need is a new home. The seller has listed the Fastback here on eBay in Hampton, Georgia. Bidding has raced to $25,600 in a No Reserve auction.

The Tag confirms that this Mustang’s original owner ordered this classic in Wimbledon White. It is unclear when it underwent a color change to its current Code 2 Dark Blue with White stripes, but the visual impact is stunning. The paint color and shine are almost deep enough to walk into, and the photos reveal no evidence of significant flaws or defects. The work appears to have been completed to a high standard, with areas like the inner trunk and door frames having a “factory” appearance. The panels are as straight as an arrow, although it is disappointing that the seller only supplies photos of this car’s driver’s side. There are a few underside shots that show no evidence of penetrating rust, but the seller admits there is surface corrosion present on some surfaces in the trunk and engine bay. The trim and glass look excellent, and the 14″ chrome wheels add the perfect finishing touch to an exterior guaranteed to turn heads.

Lifting the hood reveals a 390ci V8, with the VIN confirming that is what was under the hood when the original owner took delivery. It is unclear whether the car is numbers-matching, but the remaining major drivetrain components include a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes. The original S-Code 390 delivered 320hp and 427 ft/lbs of torque. The drivetrain combination produced a ¼-mile ET of 14.5 seconds, which would have commanded respect in 1967. It is frustrating that the seller supplies no information on this Mustang’s mechanical health. However, the clean presentation of the engine bay and lack of any glaring problems provides cause for quiet optimism. This is a case where it would be worth contacting the seller to ask relevant questions before committing to this classic.

Life on the road inside this Mustang would be pleasant courtesy of its overall condition and included equipment. The car features a floor and roof console, with an AM/FM radio relieving boredom on long journeys. The Black vinyl upholstery is free from wear and physical damage, with only stretching on the seat bases indicating the car has seen active service. The carpet looks excellent, the dash is spotless, and the wheel adds a classy air to the interior. It misses out on such luxuries as air conditioning, but who needs it when you can wind down the windows and enjoy the fresh air that Mother Nature provides for free?

This 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback isn’t completely original, but I don’t see that as a disadvantage. It is a tidy high-end driver that would draw crowds courtesy of its overall condition and presentation. Others share my sentiment because it has attracted thirty-five bids in under two days. People like what they see and are willing to put their money where their mouth is. I can hardly blame them, but are you tempted to join the bidding party?
