Two-Owner 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

Classics with a known history are guaranteed to generate buyer interest, and this 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fasback is no exception. It has attracted twenty-eight bids, suggesting buyers like what they see. The auction is approaching its conclusion, meaning people may need to act fast to give it a new home. The Fastback is listed here on eBay in Boaz, Alabama. The price sits below the reserve at $45,000, but the action suggests that it could change any time.

The 1967 model year brought the first significant update to the First Generation Mustang, as the company increased its dimensions to accommodate larger engines. Sales dropped significantly, although matching the previous year’s record was always going to be a tall order. It wasn’t a disaster, but no company will take a 22% decrease lightly. The seller is this Fastback’s second owner, although it is unclear how long they have been its custodian. They confirm it received a repaint in the 1980s in its original shade of Clearwater Aqua, which still presents well. The paint shines nicely, with any flaws or defects too minor to warrant a mention. The panels are as straight as an arrow, and the car appears structurally sound. No rust issues are visible externally, and the underside shots show no glaring problems. There may be rust developing on the upper front inner fender wells, but that appears to be the only potential problem. The trim and glass are in good order, and the Mustang rolls on Torq Thrust wheels. A question mark hangs over that because some images show the car wearing steelies and hubcaps. The seller doesn’t mention this in their listing, making it a question worth asking.

This Mustang’s interior is presentable and has no serious problems for those seeking a driver-grade classic. Some painted surfaces are scratched and marked, but the Dark and Light Aqua vinyl is free from significant wear and physical damage. The kick panels are slightly scuffed, and there might be light carpet fading. However, the dash and pad are excellent, and there is no damaged plastic. The wheel wrap is the only visible addition, with air conditioning and the factory pushbutton radio guaranteeing that life on the move will be pleasant.

Ford carried over most of the Mustang’s mechanical equipment from 1966 to its updated 1967 model. This car features the C-Code 289ci V8, producing 200hp and 282 ft/lbs of torque. Those ponies feed to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission, with the original owner passing on the luxury of power assistance for the steering and brakes. This isn’t the most potent Fastback on the planet, although its performance would satisfy most potential buyers. It is unclear whether the Mustang is numbers-matching, and no information is supplied about its mechanical health. However, it comes with a collection of original documentation tracing its history to Day One, and the visual indications are positive.

This 1967 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback is unlikely to walk away with many show trophies in its current form, but that isn’t what this car is all about. It is a tidy and clean driver-grade classic that should provide decades of reliable and carefree motoring enjoyment. This is reflected in the bidding action. That confirms that people like what they see, and recent history suggests it must be getting close to hitting the reserve. Are you tempted to throw your hat into the ring, or will you sit back as an interested spectator to see how it develops?

    I like it, if it’s number’s matching I’d restore it.
    If not, the only things I’d change, is to a top loader, an LSD, and get what ever horsepower I could out of the existing engine.

      I had one of these, dark green w/black interior, in the 70s with the Gt Option, 390 – 300+ HP and a 3 speed. I loved the Three speed because I drag raced it and won a lot of races over 4 sp. cars. Only used 1st and 2nd in the 1/4. Tall Gears and low gears in the rear end. Wish I still have it.

    Beautiful car with a grungy engine compartment. Is grungy engine compartments the thing of the week? I’d bet the bids would go much higher than the reserve if it were clean and shiny like the exterior of the car. Either way, a major example of one of the best cars Ford ever built.

      Yes I agree new hoses, clamps, aluminum radiator, painted valve covers, air breather, rebuilt carb. W w hose, detail under the hood makes people actually see the engine.

    This (1967) Mustang Fastback just gets more beautiful as the years go by.

      I agree John. As a teenager when these hit the showrooms, I thought they were beautiful and they looked fast even when standing still. I couldn’t imagine how Ford could match it with the next design but they did. The 67 thru 70 Mustangs were IMO the best looking pony cars ever.. Best wishes to new owner. Treat her nice.

    Sharp looking Mustang, but as mentioned above, the underhood needs attention. I would build the 289 to be comparable to the optional “HiPo” at the time, this car is too nice for a plain ole 2barrel 289. I would want the go to match the show

    That 289 has its work cut out for it with that A/C compressor ready to sap horsepower! I think a super cobra jet 351 would solve all problems & give one of the best looking cars ever designed the needed hp

      Put the two cylinder compressor on the shelf and put one of the later “rotories” on it and you get most of your hp back.

      A 351 Cobra Jet? Why in the world would you put a low horsepower engine from 1971-74 in a 1967 Fastback? Blasphemy! Lol

    My absolute favorite Mustang body style. As I’ve said probably too many times before; I owned a 390 three speed in 1969. This seems like a nice example and I could easily enjoy the power train combo of the 289 and three speed. I like the color as well. And I see lots of opportunities for an older guy like me to tinker with. But the price to slide behind the wheel of these ponies has left me unable to justify buying one. Oh well at least I can enjoy looking at them. GLWTS.

    My very first car in hs, a motorhead dude put a 390fe/C6 in it & I bought it for 500$. I was a hit in auto-shop & the only faster car was a rich senior with a 70 1/2 Z28 w/LT1! It was red with primer spots but basically rust free chrome/glass was decent, slot mags! I put some long chrome straight pipes on her painted the dif & mounted red lights above the axle/toggle switch on dash, I was ready to cruise! lol, ’75!

    I think this may be might favorite year mustang. My sisters first car but not a fastback. It was dark forest green metallic with white side stripes, 298 V-8. Really nice car that she ended up trading in for a ’74 Camaro. ugh. I was too young to buy it at the time. This ones nice but the price is egregious. $45k and hasn’t hit the reserve??? BLAH!

    Sorry, but for that kind of money it would require an in person introduction. Engine compartment has a couple of noticeable issues and vehicle ID tag has been removed at some point and been reattached. It has potential but I’ll pass on this one.

    I’ve owned a bunch of Corvettes in the last 40 years and loved them all, so I am a Chevy guy. But the 67-68 Mustang is one of the nicest looking cars that Ford ever built. From every angle, just a work of art, I wish that I owned one at some point, but with the recent selling prices, I missed the boat.
