Original 390/4-Speed: 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

For Blue-Oval enthusiasts who seek a classic that perfectly combines stunning performance with magnificent good looks, this 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback has to be a pretty hot ticket. Its overall presentation is impressive, and its original drivetrain combination should offer enough acceleration to satisfy all but the most hardened performance enthusiasts. It is a classic that appears to need nothing except for a new owner who will appreciate this Fastback for all that it has to offer. If you would love nothing more than to find this car parked in your driveway, you will find it located in Gilford, New Hampshire, and listed for sale here on eBay Bidding has reached $75,100, but this figure remains short of the reserve.

This Raven Black Mustang comes with a significant collection of documentation. This includes a Marti Report, and it makes interesting reading. There is no indication on this document that this car was ordered as a GT, but it does wear features like a GT grille with foglights. It states that the exterior color is correct but does not mention the White stripes that we see in the supplied photos. The paint looks to be close to flawless, with no evidence of significant chips or marks. The paint has been laid over panels that are laser straight. I can’t spot any dents or bruises, but the most important news with any First Generation Mustang revolves around the subject of rust. For potential buyers, they will be reassured to learn that this car is completely rust-free. There are no issues visible in the supplied photos, and the seller indicates that things are equally impressive with its underside. The external trim and styled wheels look to be immaculate, while the tinted glass is flawless. The person who buys this Mustang won’t need to spend a dime on the vehicle’s exterior. It will simply be a matter of standing back and admiring its beauty.

By 1967, Ford was offering some pretty tasty drivetrain combinations in its Mustang. Our feature car benefits from this thinking because it should offer enough performance potential to satisfy most enthusiasts. Its engine bay is occupied by a recently rebuilt S-Code 390ci V8 that should be producing 320hp. Throw in a four-speed manual transmission, a 3.25 Limited-Slip rear end, and it is easy to see why this classic would be capable of storming the ¼ mile in a neat 14 seconds. We have probably reached the point where this Mustang provides its best news for potential buyers. The owner states that this car is fully numbers-matching. It comes with a significant collection of documentation. It includes the original Owner’s Manual, Build Sheet, Warranty Card, and other paperwork. It seems that this documentation confirms that this classic has a genuine 66,000 miles showing on its odometer. It runs and drives perfectly and is ready to be enjoyed immediately by its lucky new owner.

I’ve been waiting to spot a weak point with this Mustang, and the interior doesn’t provide it. It presents superbly in black vinyl and seems to need nothing. There is no visible wear on any of the upholstered surfaces, while the dash and pad appear flawless. There have been no obvious aftermarket additions, with the factory radio remaining in its rightful place in the dash. The Marti Report does not mention a factory tachometer, so this may be a later addition. The original owner ordered this classic with the deluxe wheel and a console. These items are in excellent order, and if we consider this car purely as an original survivor, this is an interior that would allow its owner to hold their head high with pride wherever they went.

For some enthusiasts, the prospect of undertaking a major restoration project can appear overwhelming. Finding a stunning turnkey classic would seem to be the perfect answer for them. That is what is on offer with this 1967 Mustang Fastback. It presents beautifully, and its numbers-matching drivetrain should ensure that it has more than enough performance to satisfy most people. The bidding has been relatively lively to this point, and there’s still plenty of time if you would like to stake your claim on this classic. I suspect that we are probably getting close to the reserve on this Fastback, but with the way First Generation Mustangs continue to perform strongly in the market, I wouldn’t guarantee it. This is an auction that might be worth monitoring closely.

    If the stripes and gt grille were personal add ons back in the 70’s, more power to it!

    All said above is true. But three things missed in a Marti Report…

    Nice car, BUT why do so many put the Lemans stripes on them? Just does not look that good. Even just about ALL 67 Shelbys did NOT come with them. So why on a Mustang as nice as that?

    It amazes me that they made 11,000 of these?

    Don’t think this combination would ever reach 14 seconds flat. Raced many of those back in the 60s with my 68 Chevelle 396/350 horse four-speed 355 gear. 390s would not pull very strong to second gear in which time I hit third they were at least two cars behind me. Even from a rolling start they couldn’t keep up. My SS was a 14.4 second quarter mile car with no mods. Nice car though.

    I looked up the original owner and he’s now 81. Wonder how long since the car was in his hands.

    Beautiful car! The stripes are tastefully done, a popular thing to do in the day.
    I would not like the lack of power steering and brakes.
    I had a big block 68 without ps, and it was a bear to park and driving on eneven pavement was brutal.

    I’d have to agree… the 390 S-code is a great motor for torque and longetivity, but a high-winding dragstrip terror it is not. But, there’s an option… if that 390 is truly a numbers matching, pull it out, prep it and store it away. Build up a 428 CJ that will drop right in, the larger bore 428 breathes better than the 390 and while still not a high-revving motor, makes power higher in the rev range than the smaller FE engines. You can build a smoking 428 for 7k or so, have a ball the drop in the numbers matching 390 when it’s time to sell.

    One of my all time favorite body styles. 390 was never capable of “stunning performance” ( that would be a 428 SCJ ) but was a reliable less fussy alternative.

    Pretty nice but continuing the stripes into the license plate areas kind of ruins the look.

    Nice car but I’d rather take the ’68 listed today. Although very similar, the ’68 has always been more desireable than the ’67.

    Saw the listing here and ” Last American Hero” aka Hard Driver came to my head almost instantly. Junior Jackson would be proud as heck to run ‘shine in this ride.
    Sweat looking Mustang, maybe the best I’ve seen in a while!
