It’s hard to look past any 1967 Mustang Fastback, even if it’s in need of full restoration like this one. This particular Fastback GT will likely cause more than a few to take a second glace, especially given the plethora of Mustangs that are hanging around in the background. Found here on eBay in Texas, this claimed barn find deserves a closer look.
In place of the original 390 now sits a small block. There is no indication that it runs but after sitting for 18 years, it’d likely need some work to get going again. That may not matter, though, as a potential buyer would hopefully elect to go back with a 390, even if it’s a non-matching one. And who knows, maybe some digging with the history of the car could potentially find the original.
The seller, who may know a thing or two about classic Mustangs from what’s in the pictures, claims that the interior still maintains the original pieces. Like the rest of the car, it will need to be gone through, but it looks to have the necessary pieces to start. Having the deluxe pieces in place, especially, has to be worth something.
Don’t be fooled by that faded and rusty red, the original color is said to be Acapulco Blue. While not going into depth on the rust issues, the seller does state that the car has obvious areas that will need attention. Anyone familiar with these Mustangs will likely know what those areas are. So, as it is, the asking price is $31,500 with the option to make an offer. What might be a good offer for this Texas barn find as it sits?
Since there is a cowl cap installed I’d love to see some floor pictures. Could be rust in the cowl and on the passenger floor
Sold for $31K!
Not sold. Auction ended due to an “error” in the listing.
It probably wasn’t bringing the money they hoped for, so they took the easy way out.
So color change and not the original engine. Someone enlighten me why this could be worth the money it would take to get it up and running and recoup your investment. Wouldn’t it be easier to find one in similar shape with all its bits in place?
30 Large for a car no longer remotely as it came from the factory? I mean, to my way of thinking once the original engine is gone in a car as heavily optioned as this..its’ provenance is destroyed.
Besides which you don’t see the seller restoring this, do you? I’m cranky today obviously
Agree with Mwoody…vrs what it was bought for.
I’m not a Ford guy, but this car must have been quite a stunner in its day ! It seems solid enough for a restoration and goodness knows there are lots of reproduction part available for Mustangs, but I don’t think the price is right
Okay, okay, let me see if I have this right. The reason to acquire this particular Mustang is that its a fastback, a big block and a four speed. Is that right? 1/3 of that equation is missing, and every last component of the car will need to be replaced, refurbished or restored, just to make it safe to drive.
Then there is another 1/3, the body. It has rust, they mentioned rust, I’m sure of it. And its worth over $30k? Of course it is. Funny, but my clothes aren’t filthy from falling off the turnip truck yesterday. Good luck with that price.
I might be in at $12,000……”might”.. $30+ ha ha ha that’s funny
We are talking about a 1967 Ford Mustang GT. There is nothing wrong with the price
Thanks for using the word plethora, it means a lot.
Let’s hope there isn’t only a dearth of readers who know it.
Good one! Haha!
gary, nice catch on the cowl cover. that can only mean one thing, maybe that’s what rust in the usual places means, For 31 large, run, Forrest, run.
Non original eng, doesn’t say if it runs, and hey- his air compressor must be broke, Flat tires??? No pics of the underneath? For that cowl plenum job alone this guy is on the weed. Sorry for the negativity. Its the BJ syndrome again.
Cheers

Something doesn’t add up on this car. Looking at the engine photos on the cars web site, I don’t see the extra bracing on the shock towers that all big block cars have.
I don’t think they started the reinforced towers until ‘68 but not positive. The ‘67 GT500’s didn’t have it and had an extra weld bead around the lower reinforcement on the shock tower until 68 when the extra reinforcement came out. (I know the 69-70 big block and Boss cars had it but I think the 68 big blocks had it too…could be wrong though)
69 is when they started the big block shock towers.
Nah, 30 large for a car where nothing is clear, questions all over the place, need Columbo or Kojack to bring back the original engine, hey Baretta better forget er
I do agree with the majority here, way over priced for what you are getting and the work involved to make it a head turner again. All said this is one of my favorite body’s of all mustangs to date. It does suck that all the original stuff is not there. They are kind of my dream car that I will never have. I have a 428 SCJ setting in my 67 F250 that would be real nice setting under the hood with a few other upgrades since it is not an all original car this would be a good fit and a fun car to restore and own. I grew up with these cars on the street and always wanted one. (note this was not the engine that came in the truck before someone chimes in and says Ford didn’t put a 428 in a PU but I did twice)
Yup!! Every car is a “barn find” now! And, at $30k+ no wonder it did not sell!
I think there was a typo in his add, He ment restored for 30 large, without the original motor and color. On a good day if he had the only unrestored 67 fast back and he was flagellating shamrocks he might get 13K for it like it is.
The economy and stock market must be at a peak. This is a silly money ask.
