To remain competitive, Ford treated the Mustang to a facelift in 1967, retaining its original style and making room for big-block engines under the hood. The auto continued to be the industry’s best-selling “pony car” even though overall sales dropped due to a flurry of new competition (led by the Chevrolet Camaro). The seller’s ’67 fastback hasn’t run in nearly 30 years and has the fancy interior that we’re told resembles that of a Thunderbird. Located in a storage unit in Barling, Arkansas, this Ford is offered here on Facebook Marketplace for the lofty sum of $50,000 OBO.
Production numbers fell by 22% in 1967, yet the total Mustang output was 472,000 cars, more than double that of the new Camaro. 71,000 of them were the sporty fastback, and 17,000 of those had the “luxury” package. Technically called the Interior Décor Group, it came with premium upholstery, special trim, fancier door panels and armrests, and an upgraded steering wheel. On the fastback, the rear seat folded down for more space in the trunk.
We’re told this nearly 60-year-old Mustang has had just two owners. It’s finished in Lime Gold paint, which appears to be original and may clean up quite well. The snappy interior is finished in beige. Like many others, this Mustang was ordered with a 289 cubic inch V8 and an automatic transmission. Sometime before 1997, the engine was rebuilt, the block bored out, and the 2-barrel carburetor replaced by a 4-barrel. The intake plate below the carb developed a crack and leaked gas, so the car was parked. This problem was not corrected until recently. The Ford might run if the fuel and vacuum lines were connected.
This vehicle seems to be complete, though all the tires are flat and the factory wheel covers are in the trunk. The seller estimates the value of this car to be as high as $70,000, but surely that amount reflects a running, clean automobile. Though the zippy interior is a nice touch, the rest of the car seems to be a routine Mustang. Would you match the seller’s price for what is still a project car? Thanks for the tip, Barn Finder Terry.
Too much for how it’s being presented. Do the work if you want to get paid, drag it out, get it running, detail it and take better pictures. Give potential buyers a reason to overpay.
Too many sellers that fall into a car, listen to random people that spend five minutes online, quote a few high auction prices or look at online price guides and think their car, which hasn’t run in decades is a number 2 and price it based on that.

There is so much unseen. It might warrant that price tag is the body is all original, no filler, and there is NO rust.
’67 was the best year for Mustangs.
Here is my best offer and it comes in the form of advice!
If you’re going to ask premium pricing, don’t be lazy and spend some time to present the car as if you were buying a $50,000 car.
