The Mustang was a popular new automobile when it was introduced in 1964. Ford couldn’t build enough of the hot little “pony cars” and set a sales record in 1966. A styling refresh came in 1967 as a flood of competition began to enter the market. The seller has a ’67 fastback that was running when it was parked 18 months ago, so perhaps a minimal effort will be required to get it going again. Located in Pahrump, Nevada, this mostly original ‘Stang is available here on eBay, where the current bid is $30,600.
A styling update wasn’t enough to prevent a 22% decline in Mustang sales in 1967 vs. 1966. But that can be attributed to the arrival of the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and Mercury Cougar. So, the size of the overall market actually increased when you factor all of their sales together. 71,000 Mustang fastbacks were produced in ’67, or about one out of every seven Mustangs to leave the assembly line.
Except for the wheels and carburetor, the seller says this ’67 Ford is an original car. It has a 289 cubic inch V8 with an automatic transmission. The odometer reads just shy of 70,000 miles which there is no reason to doubt. Because of its arid surroundings, this vehicle has no rust, yet the paint hasn’t faded away either. What we can see of the interior looks good, and we hope the bucket seats are as nice as the back seat.
We assume the Ford was parked in mid-2024 and simply forgot about for a time. The seller says the engine is good, so maybe some clean fuel will be what gets the job done. We’re told the transmission shifts fine (how do you know if it doesn’t run?). The tires are beyond hope, and the buyer will have to invest in a new set. With a couple of weekends’ worth of work, you might have a daily driver here, and the fastback is the most desirable of the Mustang body styles.
Good bones here! Looks like it’s nicely appointed-a/c being an indicator and pretty much essential in the Lost Wages (Las Vegas) area in the summer, even at 2AM. Could’ve been a pit boss’ car, or maybe someone from Nellis AFB as most LV support staff wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to buy this new.
Buff out the paint (if possible), make sure the a/c is 100%, clean it up and just drive it. No one really needs to see another phony Bullitt rendition.
I’d rather know more about that 57 Ford to the left.
Running when parked? Why is this a selling point?
According to the seller the body is solid, the engine is good, and the the transmission shifts good. A plus is ‘it may start.’
The VIN indicates this left line with a six cylinder under the hood. This car has been bid to over $30K. What am I missing?
To a large portion of potential buyers, won’t care that it came with a 6 cylinder stock, nor will they really care if this engine runs at all. What matters is the condition of the body. It looks rust free and straight in the pictures, it’s a good starting point. Maybe someone will try and get the current engine running, if it runs well, make it safe and reliable, then drive it. The slot mags are 15’s, they look great in these.

You need to reread the VIN. The engine code is a C which is a 289 2V. The A/C is not original. It is the kind sold by the aftermarket companies like Vintage Air. The steering column has been changed to an aftermarket column along the likes of Flaming River.
