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.

True true, but people could put an end to this garbage of paying, over paying, for cars like this, and they don’t, they allow this to happen. People also just have to have something and over paying to get it.
You are right, that’s always been the case, it’s just more obvious as the number of desirable vintage cars thins out and large segments the market don’t look towards newer enthusiasts cars which often sell for a fraction of the price.

Do you think the guy is just a flipper ?
Hard to say if the seller is a flipper, you could make an argument for or against. What do you think?

There is so much unseen. It might warrant that price tag is the body is all original, no filler, and there is NO rust.
And plenty of documentation.
’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.
50k… Mmmm… Yeah… Nope…
Where to start it is sitting on four flat tires not running the engine bay is filthy looks to be an A/C car missing the A/C parts. Also no underside pictures and no good clear inside pictures and no idea if there is any rust on the body.
Someone call Dennis Collins
Please don’t
Sold! That is why this site is called barn finds, not “hey I pulled it out, cleaned it up and got it running for ya…now you can drive it home”
Sold for $50,000 or the best offer which we may never know, but interesting.
exactly 👌
gone lasted 1 day. somebody must have really wanted it. i would never pay that much for something like this. good for the seller. at least it was stored inside and looked rust free from what we can see.
I agree with you, but at least he stated OBO, so hopefully the buyer was able to talk them down some on the price. We all cringe on some of these asking prices, but I will say it again…they aren’t building these new anymore.
It does say SOLD. Wonder what it brought?
I hope the buyer got a considerable reduction in the price. I see a lot of issues with the car at the asking price. It could be a nice car when everything is sorted out.
I think I’m going to take my ’68 out of it’s nice, clean, secure parking spot in the garage, and leave it out in my old shed. Might get me a couple more thousands.
Pull it out, give it a solid washing & post with ‘as-found’ pics next to cleaned up. It’ll go a long way to a potential seller.
The seller is asking $50K and he’s to LAZY to push it out to showcase why it’s worth that astronomical asking price! GRRRRRR!
OR, it could be a widow.. it could be an elderly man who cannot pull it out and wash it for the lookie loos.
for a legit buyer, the post isnt the point of sale, a good talk on the phone, and/or inspection is.
If i sold one of my cars, id post it with 2 pics and basic description. A real buyer will contact me, and id go from there.
Too many peanuts in this gallery.
There is no way he got 50 grand for that. No way.
I hope the seller does not hold his breath till he gets his asking price.
Sold??? Color me flabbergasted! (Always wanted to use that word)
To me, ads like this are a joke!! This person has potential gold, not gold!! Pictures with storage boxes and garbage in the garage tells me everything about the person who owns (ed) this car. Yes, it may be a person who died, or some other unfortunate incident. It’s a ‘water tester’ to see if anyone bites.
