Running Project: 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

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

Auto enthusiasts list all sorts of different reasons for not completing a project, including everything from the car requiring more work than they bargained for to a lack of the funds necessary to continue.  The seller of this 1967 Ford Mustang tells us he has too many other projects and lost interest, which is sad, considering the iconic status that the first-generation examples of Ford’s pony car have deservedly attained.  There’s still plenty of work to be done, but this one’s had a bit of a head start, and it seems like fairly decent project material for those seeking a convertible model.  This one is located in Kansas City, Missouri, and can be found here on eBay, where the opening bid of $2,000 has yet to be placed.  Another option is to own it today, as there’s also an opportunity to buy it now for $6,750.

The seller doesn’t provide much detailed information here, but judging from the photos, this one appears to be a fairly original example, though it will require some bodywork and panel replacement.  Fortunately, a few of the needed sheet-metal items are included, such as the rear quarters and some of the flooring.  It’s not noted if rust is a significant factor outside, or whether the doors or front fenders contain any filler, but hopefully, all of those components will be usable.

While the dash will need a thorough refreshing, several of its parts are still intact, including the instruments.  A few items have been removed but are shown, such as the seats and rear panels, with the canvas material still attached, although it will undoubtedly need to be replaced.  We don’t get to view any photos taken directly from underneath, and even with the floors out, it’s still hard to speculate on what additional repairs the frame may require.

Fortunately, the inline-6 is said to run, but that’s literally the extent of information we get about it.  The engine bay seems to still be in good order, so hopefully, there will be a few more reliable miles left for the next owner before a complete rebuild becomes necessary.  This is one of those projects that seems to have a fair balance of positives and negatives, but I’m seeing enough good here to think this 1967 Ford Mustang convertible is probably worth the effort to continue restoring.  How about you?

    I don’t remember my small town Ford dealer ever having a Mustang convertible for dealer stock. Too extravagant for the local clientele, I guess. But if they would have, it might have been equipped with a straight six like this one, to keep the cost down.

    Plenty of work here. The provided sheet metal is a bit of a plus. Might be worth the effort?

    Thanks Mike.
