Every so often, a classic appears that reminds us why the phrase “barn find” carries so much weight in the collector car world. This 1967 Ford Mustang convertible, now listed here on eBay and located in Georgia, is exactly that kind of discovery. According to the seller, it was tucked away in a barn for more than a decade, left untouched until recently seeing daylight again. Thanks for the tip Mitchell G.!

The car wears its original 1960s character proudly, with a clean title, a 289 V8 under the hood, and an automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. While the Mustang isn’t currently running, the seller notes the engine does turn freely, which is a promising start for anyone considering bringing it back to life. Solid bones are critical with these classics, and this convertible reportedly checks that box.

Inside, the interior has seen some attention already. The seats have been restored, which saves the next owner time and expense, and the soft top is in nice condition as well. These are encouraging details that suggest the car hasn’t been left to completely decay during its long slumber. The rest of the Mustang remains very much as-found, giving the next caretaker the freedom to choose whether to pursue a sympathetic refresh or go all-in on a full cosmetic restoration.

On the outside, the body appears remarkably solid for a car that’s been stored so long, with no immediate signs of major rust or rot. A solid foundation like this is often the difference between a money pit and a worthwhile project. And since this is a true drop-top Mustang, the end result has the potential to be something special.

The seller even makes a bold claim: with only cosmetic work, they believe the car could bring $25,000 once completed. Whether you agree with that estimate or not, it’s clear this convertible offers a lot of upside for a relatively approachable entry point. If it doesn’t sell quickly, the current owner says they’ll keep it and restore it themselves, which might be the best endorsement of its potential.

Barn finds like this don’t come around every day, and the 1967 model year is a favorite among enthusiasts. Would you keep this one as a survivor with some light recommissioning, or would you strip it down and go for a full restoration?
