Some project candidates generate enormous interest when they hit the market. Potential buyers look beyond the car’s many flaws and develop a clear vision of what can be achieved if they throw enough effort and cash into the build. Such is the case with this 1967 Ford Mustang GT. The winning bidder faces a veritable Mount Everest to scale to recapture the GT’s former glory, but the listing statistics confirm that people are willing to give it a red-hot go. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Mitchell G. for spotting the Mustang listed here on eBay in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Bidding currently sits below the reserve at $24,100.
Ford marginally increased most of the Mustang’s dimensions in 1967 as its first refresh, although we’re only talking about a few inches here and there. The aim of the exercise was less about the car’s cosmetics and more about increasing engine bay space to accommodate engines larger than the range-topping 289ci V8. This GT Fastback rolled off the line that year, and its tired Clearwater Aqua paint is the least of its problems. The limited images reveal significant rust problems in the lower exterior extremities, in the floors, and in the trunk pan. However, there is also penetrating rust in the driver’s side A-Pillar. This is concerning because we’re now dealing with structural issues, and rectifying them to a high standard is crucial for occupant safety. The last thing anyone wants is to find themselves shiny-side down, and substandard repairs placing lives at risk. Therefore, stripping the car entirely and adopting a rotisserie approach is the only way to ensure this classic isn’t a future time bomb. Some trim pieces require restoration or replacement, but the glass appears to be in good condition.
I believe one of the key reasons this Mustang has generated so much interest hides below the surface. The seller indicates it is numbers-matching, and its mechanical specifications would have made it a special car in 1967. The first owner equipped it with the S-Code 390ci V8, a motor producing 320hp and 427 ft/lbs of torque. Add a four-speed manual transmission into the mix, and this would have been a genuinely fast car in its prime. That was a long time ago, and it is unclear when this GT last fired a shot in anger. The seller doesn’t indicate whether the engine turns freely, but factoring a complete mechanical rebuild into the restoration budget would be wise. After all, it is better to have the money and not need it than to need it and not have it.
This interior shot reveals the A-pillar problems previously mentioned and the gaping hole where the passenger-side floor pan should be. It also suggests that the interior is seemingly complete, and that some of the Black vinyl surfaces are potentially salvageable. I’m unwilling to bet the farm on that, but it looks promising. Of course, given the cost this build could incur, the expense of a complete retrim to achieve flawless presentation probably wouldn’t phase many potential buyers. Interestingly, this Mustang retains its factory AM radio/8-track player, adding to this car’s appeal.
It would be easy to dismiss this 1967 Mustang GT as a lost cause, given its significant problems. Some of the rust appears to be structural, meaning a nut-and-bolt approach is the only option for the new owner. However, with Listing View, Watch List, and bid tallies of 623, 162, and 46, respectively, it seems that there are plenty of enthusiasts who wish to stake their claim on this classic. It hasn’t hit the reserve yet, but how high do you think bidding will climb in this auction’s final hours? More importantly, do you feel that figure will surpass the reserve?
Me says maybe hurricane damage???? Buyer beware…
Wouldn’t be surprised to see this bought as a parts/VIN tag donor, unless the buyer has a burning hot desire to immerse themselves in this mess as a forever self project.
I don’t understand. No way could this be profitable and if the specs match your dreams there’s a clean one out there somewhere that will cost you less.
There is a log of metal work lurking under whats’s left of the paint. Lots of surface rust on the interior as well.
As noted above, ‘buyer beware’.
’67 was, IMO, the best year for Stangs. I dunno if that translates into the asking price for this particular one, but as Nevadahalfrack says, pay for the VIN tag, then start clicking “buy it now” on the Dynacorn website.
Well, I’m about 1/4 mile from the Bucks County border and maybe 20 miles south of Doylestown PA. We were married by the Mayor of Doylestown in 1979. I could take a breaker bar with a 15/16″ socket and go see if the engine turns, if any interest here, though the bids sit at $25,000+ without reaching reserve. Maybe this would not scare those of us as much in the rust belt. Pretty desirable if not for the rust. The engine condition less of a concern. Maybe better to seek one in Texas, etcetera?
This one only reinforces what I already know. Having had a Mustang very similar to this one I still pine for another. Reality says otherwise. My available funds are wholly inadequate. I hope this sells and gets returned to its former glory.
$24,000? Good night, and good luck!
CJ pony parts will probably give free shipping on all the metal purchases
Full floor pan

Trunk sections
Gas tank
Torque boxes
Rocker panels
Skin to replace primer quarters
Then
interior

Lets just say pretty much everything for a car with a 390 manual transmission cars.
Unless one can weld and has a couple hundred hours of free time and access to high limits in credit they might pass.
Good luck with sale..

$25,100 and still hasn’t cracked the reserve yes fully restored ones go for a lot but how much is going to eat into profit bringing this one back.
The purchaser of this car will make Dynacorn’s day!
What amazes me, and we’ve seen it many times, is how someone knew this car was worth more then scrap money at one time, but let it sit and decay for years, instead of moving it down the line.
a new Dynacorn body shell costs $17,500 . and that does not include a hood , or front fenders . PA kills cars . as we all know . this one , sad as it is , is a parts car .
A friend does restorations on 1st generation Camaros, he’s taken a good look at their bodies and said they are not suitable for “restorations”, there are too many differences, most subtle, but easily picked out. He said using one for a restoration is a good way to get sued, or worse. He said they are great for restomods or race cars, but not restorations where the original VIN is used to identify the specific model, such as a 390 GT.

Now, admittedly I don’t follow the prices of these very closely, but 25K and climbing? That makes absolutely zero sense to me. I may be in fantasy land, but I can not believe that one could not pick up a nice driver for 40 to 50K. So to all you Ford guys out there, who’s nuts, me or the seller?
We’re all nuts, or we would be doing something else on a Sunday morning!
It’s either comment on here or go shovel snow. Wait, I’m back already from doing the snow. Above freezing now but not for long.
Love the 67’s. IMO just restore it for the love of the car, not to make money.
I’m also thinking posting the Marti Report just make create more ” serious buyers”!
The open door interior shot immediately said “hell no” to me at that value..the door jam is fulla rust holes.This car basically needs to be totally replaced with a new car.So the buyer will basically be buying a VIN plate.
It’ll probably become another ‘BULLITT” clone in the end and only looked at by people over 50 that even remember the movie or have ever heard of Steve McQueen! Yes a 67 390 4 speed Mustang is a bad ass car, but, for that kinda money you’d think there’d be at least a car that wasn’t structurally condemned!!! I’m really starting to loose faith in “common sense” in the world of classic car people today. In my humble opinion if the body is rotted out in the A pillar, the rest of all body panels need replaced, the metal inside the car is all pitted, the interior is messed up, the engine don’t run, they figure the entire drive line needs to be rebuilt or replaced, it has only 1 eye but it’s blind, C,mon, the bid is up over $25k on this and the guy that’s selling it and should be happy the scrap yard isn’t charging him to haul it away says NO! UNBELIEVABLE!
This is nothing but a good parts car. OR, a title/VIN plate donor. This is exactly the car/owner that Dynacorn is aimed at. Get your NEW body shell, doors and what ever you need and start swapping parts after you have refurbished your drive train. AND THEN YOU CAN TRANSFER THE VIN TAG.
i guess the seller is looking for rotted out Mopar money
Too bad Mopar money is way more expensive than Monopoly money!
mopar = Mostly Old Parts And Rust..just sayin’
Wow….those pedals…..just wow………
The seller has ended the auction and cancelled all bid, 16 in total, with the highest being $26,000, on 1/18/2026. He more than likely took an offer and ended it early.
