Beschreibung
It’s hard to fathom the cultural impact the Ford Mustang has had since its release in the mid-1960s, it revolutionised an industry, formed a class of its own and adorned the walls of adoring fans across the globe. The Mustang became Ford’s most successful vehicle launch since the Model A, and subsequently sold in gargantuan numbers. Within two years, Ford had already sold its millionth Mustang.
This example is a 1967 Coupe, sometimes referred to as a Notchback. Externally, the car is finished in an almost electric blue. The paintwork is in excellent condition, this is no doubt thanks to some recent paintwork completed by Chapel Hill Garage in Braintree, Essex.
The bodywork itself is also in excellent shape. The car has undergone an extensive program of restoration whilst in the car of Back to Life Cars in Chelmsford, Essex. This work includes fitting new full-length floor pans, and torque box.
At the front of the car, you’re greeted by an uncompromised grille, cleanly and simply adorned by Mustang iconography. The brightwork and trim throughout are all in excellent condition. At the back, the classic iconic Mustang rear lights are present, whilst hidden neatly below the rear valance is a twin-exit exhaust.
The wheels are 15” diameter, 7” wide Mangum 500s. Their combination of matt-black infills with shiny chrome rims is the perfect accent to the Mustang’s dramatic, handsome good looks. The wheels are wrapped in a matching set of BF Goodrich Radial T/A tyres. The raised white letter tyre is surely a must-have for any classic American muscle.
Inside you’re met with a simplistic, yet stylish interior. Black is the general theme, with the bucket seats being trimmed in black along with the door cards and dashboard. Everything is in great shape and shows very limited signs of wear.
The carpets are a very dark shade of blue which is a tasteful nod to the exterior colour. There are Mustang-branded mats and a factory AM radio which sadly does not work. That’s okay though, because you’ll spot that this Mustang is a manual! Or should we say Stick? Not only is this a three-pedal car, but it has been fitted with a Hurst-shifter, mounted directly to the tunnel, it is a part almost as iconic as the car itself.
In the engine bay, you’re met with a 289-ci V8. It’s an engine that Ford has been building and supporting for a very long time, and thus it is very reliable. This one runs very well indeed and offers plenty of power and torque and thanks to the aforementioned 4-speed manual gearbox, a particularly enjoyable driving experience. The engine also benefits from the addition of a set of Hi-Po exhaust manifolds, that go along with the twin exit exhaust.
The engine bay itself is clean and tidy and free from any signs of damage. Peeking through the strut tops are replacement shock absorbers, which lead down to a set of front disk brakes. This car has been thoroughly worked over, with an eye on the details to make it into a truly enjoyable and usable Mustang.
It’s also a car that has been loved and adored. Its previous owner kept the car for close to 20 years, and throughout that time, amassed a collection of receipts, records and invoices that is quite impressive. Even down to handwritten receipts from the mid-1970s for trivial service components.
These records give you just a small snapshot not only into the history of this car but also into what life was like in the US at the time. Despite the extensive work completed, this car retains every bit of its soul and every story and throughout that, it has been loved at every stage, from the day it rolled off the production line.
The car’s extensive history, recent work and presentation show you why this is an excellent example, of an excellent car, that is now ready to start writing the next chapter of its story. Could you be its next caretaker?
As with all our vehicles, a full digital folder is available on request containing more images, walk-around videos, and scans of the service history. The car can also be viewed by appointment at our West London showroom.
