With its fastback extended to the rear bumper, the 1967 Mustang brought an aggressive performance-forward attitude to the pony car’s first facelift. An available 390 FE V8 backed up that swagger with tire blistering performance. This 1967 Ford Mustang in Wentzville, Missouri left the factory with a 289 automatic combo and later swallowed a 390 wearing Ford 6V induction. That’s right; a trio of two-barrel carburetors tops the big V8, and a four-speed manual transmission adds to the fun. While this fastback in primer needs rust repair and a thorough cosmetic makeover, the current condition makes an interesting foundation for a ferocious “do it your way” ‘Stang.

That 390 is a tight squeeze for sure. Tip your hat to the builder for mounting an air conditioning compressor on this factory air-equipped pony. Ford offered 6V induction on 390-equipped 1961-’63 Thunderbirds, shipping it as a kit in the trunk for dealer installation, and while the dual quad setup (a pair of four-barrels) topped most of its highest-performance mills, Ford continued to offer 6V parts over the counter. Check out more history and technical data on Ford 6V setups at Ford6VCarburetion. Pontiac coined the popular term “Tri-Power” for its triple two-barrel, and that phrase often describes 3×2 setups from GM and others. It certainly sounds better than “6V.”
These early Mustangs look great from every angle. A stock hood belies the fury of the triple-carb FE under the hood. Though mostly installed for the wow-factor and bragging rights at the local burger joint, the six-barrel setup actually allows economical operation when setup to run the center two-barrel at low load and saving the outer two carbs for deep stabs of the throttle.
Tattered Recaro seats suggest the interior last saw attention in the 1980s when Recaros were the go-to saddle for any would-be road racer. No road racer would be caught dead with a Hurst T-handle, but it might do for straight-line power shifting. Note the original automatic-style wide brake pedal remains aside the clutch. That silver circle denotes factory front disc brakes, and the seller graciously provides a Marti Report detailing that option, the aforementioned air conditioning, Candyapple red paint, power steering, tilt-away steering wheel, and other handy features. How would you build this triple-carb 390 fastback?
What I like most about this Mustang model is the character line which subtly begins in the middle of the roof growing more distinct as it ends at the rear window. I first noticed this maybe 55(?) years ago and it apparently seized my imagination. Also, it doesn’t hurt that it is Frank Bullitt’s vehicle of choice.
Would rather have the 68 Charger that was smoking Frank Bullits butt all over San Fran.
I’m with ya, bro! Mopar or no car!! 👍
a-la Chrysler…Six Pack!
As I have previously mentioned; in 1969 as an 18 year old, I had a 390 three speed four barrel bone stock 1967 Mustang fast back blue metallic paint with blue interior. It was one fast pony. Would I love to have it back? You betcha. Can I afford it now? Maybe. But I’m married. My wife would have other ideas on how to spend the kind of money that it would take to park one like my old steed in our garage. Todd is right about that big block being stuffed in the engine compartment. Changing spark plugs was not fun as I recall.But street racing sure was fun! I can still remember cleaning burnt rubber particles off the rear fenders on Sunday as a result of the previous nights festivities. Lol. Probably the favorite car I ever owned and I have had a bunch.
Wasn’t Frank Bullitts ride a 68 fastback,,,,,
When I was 15 I got to ride in a new 67 fast back 390 Mustang. It left an impression on me that never went away, I am 72 and have two Mustangs.
Neat car, but with some rust repair needed along with a complete repaint it’s priced way to high. Cost to bring it up to a driver level is going to be eye watering.
To redo interior will run you 4K if done yourself, brakes will run 2K, engine compartment 2K, new paint and body 10K so 20K after asking price no profit margin but most of us aren’t in it for the money
$48k for this? Only if $33k was stuffed on the glove box.
At least 2/3 of the money for a car less than half done.
Not necessarily for pwilly, but… Purchased a new ’67 390 4spd FB in ’67. Waited 3 months for it to arrive at the dealer. Paid $3600 – new. Sold it a year later when fiancee couldn’t handle manual trans. Wish I had it back but not at this price.
The 406 was also offered in a 6v setup making 405hp.with a 4bbl the 390 gets single digit mileage and subract a few more mpg for a six pack,first one i’ve seen in a mustang.$47k for a 289 car with a 390 swap?
So how much do you really want for this $10,000 car?
If you really think a solid 67 Fastback can be bought for $10k, you are totally loonie.
48k????
Pfft it’s no wonder the Retro Mod crowd dumps these old school lumps of iron for modern EFI Coyote engines 6spd Trans & solid rears with IRS.
Idk why anyone would even buy such a hunk of junk considering a BRAND NEW body shell & chassis can be had from Dynacorn exact same yr & model in these stangs not only that BETTER METAL higher zinc content.
Sure sure collectable- not really 🙄
Market is flooded & as the Boomers who drive the market die off these over priced cars will FLOP in price.
Esp after the govt regulates them off the roads which is coming VERY SOON.
Germany already has its mandate set just 7yrs from now in 2030 …no more gas cars
You seem to think you understand the market, but you obviously do not.
No worse than $50+grand for that homemade 59 chevrolet convertible
Way too much money for too little car even if it’s my favorite year and model.
Project $ car – too high on speculated value of $70,000 after another $20,000more goes into it.
Nostalgic buyer to relive a memory is the customer base.
I passed on a ’67. 390 , 4spd for $1200
in ’85. Racing Green paint. ‘”BULLIT”
Rear springs were broken from dragstrip burnouts and wheel hop.
Check the scene in the movie where Steve McQuenn reverses with clutch drop after almost crashing.
SERIOUS Wheelhop
