Special Order Paint: 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback

The owner of this 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback cut no corners when returning this car to its former glory. He left nothing to chance, and the result is a vehicle of breathtaking beauty. Adding to its appeal is the Special Order paint, and when combined with the other options selected by the original owner, they make this a genuine 1-of-1 classic. With the work complete, this stunning ‘Stang needs a new home. Located in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, you will find the Fastback listed for sale here on eBay. The seller has set their BIN at $125,000, although the option exists to make an offer. I have to say a big thank you to Barn Finder Larry D, who has found another gem for us.

The seller admits he is a professional restorer and that he tackled this build intending to retain the Mustang for his personal use. He chose to list the car but doesn’t appear concerned if this unique classic doesn’t sell. Apart from the exclusive shades available with option packages such as the High Country or Ski Country Specials, Ford offered potential buyers the choice of eight Special Order colors to grace the panels of their 1967 Mustang. The original owner selected Dusk Rose, which is nothing if not distinctive. It shines magnificently, with no flaws or defects. The panels are as straight as an arrow, and there’s no evidence of rust or other problems. The seller supplies no underside shots, but his approach suggests that there shouldn’t be any problems to cause the new owner sleepless nights. The chrome shines beautifully, while the styled steel wheels look immaculate. Thanks to the owner’s decision to replace it all as part of this build, the glass is flawless. The Mustang has received limited use since the owner downed his tools for the final time. Most of the miles were used to iron out any potential bugs or problems, so the new owner doesn’t face any immediate hassles.

The VIN and included Marti Report confirm that this Fastback rolled off the line equipped with a C-Code 289ci V8 that produced 200hp. The original owner also selected a three-speed manual transmission and power steering. This package wasn’t the most potent Ford offered during this model year, but it should still allow the Mustang to cover the ¼ mile in 16.2 seconds. Considering the seller’s approach to this build, finding the Fastback’s engine bay presenting beautifully is no surprise. It appears that the Mustang isn’t numbers-matching, with the seller sourcing a 289 from Jasper Engines. It has a three-year warranty, providing peace of mind for the new owner. However, it seems the rest of the drivetrain is original, with everything receiving a rebuild and plenty of cosmetic TLC. There is no information in the listing confirming how the Fastback runs and drives, but this YouTube video supplies some answers. It provides a detailed walk-around, significant information on the build process, and a brief glimpse of the car running and driving. There are no indications of any problems or issues.

Since the owner tackled this restoration intending to retain the Mustang for personal use, it’s no surprise that its interior presents as impressively as the rest of the vehicle. His approach has been fascinating because he has tried to retain as many original parts as possible. Its overall condition meant a retrim was required, but items like the rear seat side trims are original fiberglass rather than plastic reproductions. Components like the seat frames were sandblasted and powdercoated for longevity, as were many smaller components like the pedals. He achieved a finish on these parts comparable with how they would have looked when the car was new but utilizing a more hard-wearing process. The upholstered surfaces, dash, carpet, and headliner are perfect, meaning the buyer won’t need to spend a dime inside this classic. The interior isn’t loaded with luxury appointments, although the desirable Sport Deck rear seat, AM radio, and Deluxe seatbelts add to its appeal.

This 1967 Mustang 2+2 Fastback raises the question of whether it is possible to place a price on perfection. When you examine the supplied photos, it appears that it is as close to perfect as you are likely to find. Its Special Order paint helps it to stand out in a crowd. While the shade may not appeal to everybody, it helps increase its desirability and potential value. When I was younger, I never considered that the day would arrive when a First Generation Mustang would command a six-figure price, but that time has come. For all of the attributes that make this Fastback genuinely unique, my instincts tell me that the seller is being optimistic with their BIN price. It is well above the market average, even for a pristine example. The seller acknowledges in his video that the price is high, but he believes that an in-person inspection would confirm to interested parties that it is worth it. He also states that it won’t hurt for potential buyers to submit an offer, suggesting he is approachable. The price hasn’t prevented thirty-eight people from watching the listing, so it will be interesting to see if any are brave enough to hit the BIN button. If you had the available funds, would you?

    Very impressive restoration. High dollar car. Obviously the color isn’t for everyone, but if you don’t mind answering questions at a show and are tired of one red car after another, here you go. Cool car.

    I owned a pink 68 Mustang which had been painted over in white. Back in the 80s it was interesting, we always thought it was a Playboy promo car. But aside from being unusual (and a fastback) it has little else to demand such a lofty price. My 68 had a J code and AC with deluxe interior. This is a pretty plain-jane FB.

    Very impressive restoration! The photo of the engine bay is striking… the Ford blue engine color against the body color really jumps out at you! Imagine if Ford painted the under hood area body color! It almost looks like a Franklin Mint model or something. Again, congrats to the restorer, fantastic job everywhere in my opinion.

    Before I opened this and read the write up, I expected to see it priced around $50-60k. It appears to be a well done restoration but $125k surprised me.

    Seems like one of those “It’s for sale (it’s not for sale)” situations.

    This guy is up in Shelby country with that price. Not a GT, small V-8, three speed. Is pink paint worth $80k?

    Paint aside, this is a phenomenal restoration of a fairly ordinary car. Entry level V8, three speed, some desirable options but nothing special. The seller deserves credit for the quality, but I don’t think I understand why he invested that much time and money on *this* car.

    At that price, he clearly isn’t looking to sell it too badly. It’s called sucker fishing.

    Guess the exterior decor group included the ribbed panel in the taillight cove and the GT style pop open gas cap? Can’t tell from the e-Bay photos, does this have the swing away steering column (like earlier T-Birds)? How many of you have experiences with Jasper engines?

      I have used Jasper engines twice, once in a car and once in a truck. Never had an issue.

      This car does not have the tilt away steering column. You can tell by the one photo that shows the open left door looking into the interior. There is only the one light switch in the door jamb. There is no switch for the tilt away. Plus there is a photo of the window sticker, tilt away is not listed on the list of options.

    Beautiful restoration. But a simple small block, with only a 3 speed and no factory AC? Surely he sprung for front disc brakes. At that price he clearly doesn’t really want to sell her. I prefer the 66 year Fastback over the 67. Still a great find

    Great restoration, but I wonder if the ordering dealership made the customer pay full cost up front for this…

    Yes a real beauty, but for that amount you can buy something way better.

    For this kinda money it could at least have updated 5 speed trans and clutch, front disc conversion, and maybe aftermarket air, since it didn’t come with factory.
