It's a member of what is arguably one of the most attractive sub-classes of vintage Mustangs that Ford ever brought out and it offers a very strong driving experience, as well as a rock-solid foundation that sets it apart from so many of its stablemates. This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback wears its original colors both inside and out and is propelled by a period correct small block that's running in top form, so if you're searching for a coveted classic... that's ready to roll right off the bat, this is one to check out. Going back more than a half-century, relatively few Mustangs emerged from the factory configured with this Pony's magnetic shape - in '67 there were more than 6 Mustang hardtops produced for every fastback - and when you factor in this one's seldom seen, factory-issue, Aqua Blue color, it's no wonder that you rarely come across a similarly clad specimen. That distinctive, calming shade still presents impressively well - this is an undeniable head turner in its present state and could be taken to an even higher level with a comprehensive detailing. Mustangs from this era featured pronounced, reverse C-shaped body contours along their sides and you can see just how level they remain while transitioning from front fender to door to rear quarter panel - a good sign of proper body alignment. From the signature running horse positioned at the center of the grille, back to the trim punctuating the edge of the sloping deck lid, the chrome exterior fittings are in great shape, despite likely being original. Climb in, take a look around and you'll be impressed by just how clean the interior is. From all indications it's been well-cared for - its front buckets wear well-fitted, fresh vinyl covers that show no undue discoloration, the door panels to each side are unblemished and sit flush, and the carpet lining the floor is still in very good condition. An added woodgrain steering wheel provides a touch of aftermarket cachet, just in front of a dash area that's looking solid, with its set of clear factory gauges still fully functional and encircled by fresh chrome bezels with a supple, uncracked dash pad running across the top. You'll have no issues staying comfortable as the warmer weather approaches - the air conditioning on this classic is blowing strong and cold. The folding rear seat is in fine form and your backseat passengers will be bracketed by rear mounted speakers to bring the sound their way. Beneath the hood, the period correct 289 cubic inch V8 sits in a nicely detailed engine compartment, reinforced by an export bar positioned directly in front of it for some added structural rigidity. The engine is in very strong running condition and wears a properly badged air cleaner over its upgraded 4-barrel carb that features an electronic choke for improved all weather performance. Turn the key, tap the gas and you'll be confident right away that this Mustang is ready for the asphalt just as soon as you bring it home. Just behind the powerplant is a 3-speed automatic C4 transmission that's shifting smoothly to round out a solid drivetrain. Power steering makes for easy navigation and with the added Flowmaster mufflers, this Mustang sends a nice, rich note out of its dual exhaust. A set of 14" Magnum 500 wheels add just the right finishing touch. Chock full of vintage style, '60s era Mustangs have established themselves as among the most coveted of all classics and this 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is one fine representative. Call today!
