Additional Details:
(VIN: 7R01S144973), We
are proud to offer this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA Hardtop for sale.
This Mustang is painted cream
white (originally frost turquoise) with an aqua vinyl interior, it has
97,500 original miles and a select-shift cruise-o-matic auto
transmission. It was built in the San Jose factory on
11/28/1966. It was shipped to Dub Shaw Ford of Ft. Worth, TX the
next day, and sold to it's first owner 12/06/1966. It is a
3-owner vehicle and other than the color change (performed approx
8 years ago), it is very original and had a $3,140.72 new MSRP.
It is my understanding is this model was only built in 1967,
and this GTA is one of (3) three Mustangs ever produced in this exact
configuration:
- frost turquoise ext. with aqua interior
- bucket seats
- S-code 390 4V Thunderbird Special 8 engine (320 hp)
- select shift cruise-o-matic auto trans.
- 3.00 axle ratio
- 7.35 x 14-4 PR WSW tires
- AM radio
This car has been lovingly cared for by the same family since 2005, and
has never been driven in the rain since. To the knowledge of the
family it has also never been in any type of accident prior to their
purchase, or since. The body, engine, trans and options are all
original and correct to this Mustang, per the included Marti
Report. Photos will give you a better idea of the condition of
this GTA, so please request them! A very nice driver that turns
heads everywhere you take it.
The 1967
Mustang brought the first major redesign. Although it was
longer and wider, the Mustang kept the same wheel base of 108
inches. The grille opening was made larger to give the Mustang a
meaner look as the rear taillight panel was concave. The fastback
now reached all the way to the rear of the trunk, and on all three
models you could find simulated panel scoops on the rear quarters.
Optional front disc brakes came with power assist, and the '67 Mustang
was the first vehicle to use a dual hydraulic system. The front
suspension was also redesigned and widened to give the car an overall
smoother ride.
One new engine was added to the line up, the first Mustang big block,
the 390ci. Rated at 320hp, the 390 used a single 600cfm Holley
four-barrel carburetor with cast iron intake and manifolds. All
Mustangs containing the 390 had a dual exhaust system. A total of
28,800 Mustangs with the 390 engine were produced. Only 472
Mustangs were built with the 289 V-8, as the GT Equipment Group option
was mandatory with the 271hp 289.
The GT Equipment Group included the grille mounted fog lamps, power
front disc brakes, dual exhausts with chrome quad outlets which were
excluded on the 289hp 289, GT gas cap, F70x14 tires, handling package,
rocker panel stripes, and GT or GTA (for auto transmission equipped
GTs) emblems. 24,079 Mustangs had the GT option.
Only with the GT Group was the Competition Handling Package available
which consisted of firmer suspension components, limited slip rear axle
and fifteen-inch wheels with wire wheel covers.
The interior on the
'67 Mustang was redesigned. A new dash was
added, which had the Rally-Pac and also integral air
conditioning. Two new options were the tilt-away steering wheel
and fold-down rear seat on the fastback model. Also added to the
option list included cruise control, a folding glass rear window on the
convertibles and an Exterior Decor group including a hood with
rear-facing louvers that contained turn signal indicators, wheel well
moldings as well as a pop-open gas cap. The galloping Pony
inserts were not included in the Interior Decor Group option.
The standard wheel
covers on the '67 was a 10½ inch hubcap or a
21-spoke wheel cover. The optional styled steel wheel were wider
with a wider trim ring and had a blue center cap.
Continuing from the
previous Mustangs was a long list of
dealer-installed options which included the Cobra kits.

Ford Feels the Competition
Feeling pressure from
their competition,
Ford needed to make the Mustang more powerful so it could keep up with
its competitors. The answer came in the form of a larger car. Although
the wheelbase remained the same at 108 inches, the length of the
vehicle was increased by two inches resulting in 183.6 inches from
front to back. The car also featured a front-suspension track that was
widened by 2.5 inches. The increased body size allowed Ford to put
their first big-block engine in a Mustang. This optional 390-cubic-inch
6.4L V-8 motor was capable of producing an impressive 320 hp. As such,
Ford was clearly able to keep up with the big dogs on the road. In
fact, according to reports, the 390 cid equipped Mustang could achieve
0-60 mph in 7.4 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph.

New Features
Other notable changes
to the 1967 Ford
Mustang included side scoops that were painted to match the color of
the car. In the past, the Mustang's side scoops were chrome plated in
design. The new scoops more closely resembled real intakes than in
previous model years. The front end of the 1967 Ford Mustang was
also different than in the past. Gone were the three gills that
appeared next to the headlights on the 1965 and 1966 Mustang. The
grille was also different, featuring vertical and horizontal bars that
worked their way out from the galloping horse in all four directions.
In addition, the opening to the grille was larger than in the past.
This redesigned front end made for a muscular looking Mustang.
Concave
Rear
Replaces Convex
The rear of the 1967
Mustang was also noticeably different than in
previous Mustang model years. For the first time the Mustang's rear
tail lights were larger and concave in design. In the past the
Mustang's rear had been convex and basic. As for the 2+2 Mustang
fastback model, its roofline now ran all the way to the rear trunk lid.
A special ribbed rear panel with chrome bezels could be ordered by
fastback owners seeking a customized look. In all, the rear of the
Mustang looked bulkier and more performance oriented. Additional
options for the 1967 Mustang included a GT package that featured
driving lamps, side stripes, and a dual exhaust. You could also order a
hood with dual recesses as optional equipment. As for the
Convertible
Mustang, it featured two glass panes which made up the rear window.
Gone was the plastic convertible window of the past.
What Makes it a 1967
Of note, 1967 was the
last year F-O-R-D
block lettering appeared across the front edge of classic Mustangs.
This feature would not return until 1974. It would also be the last
Mustang to feature the 289 Hi-Po Engine. These tidbits of information
might come in handy when working to distinguish a 1967 Ford Mustang
from a 1968. Upon first glance, the two model years closely resemble
each other.
In all, the 1967 Ford
Mustang was considered by most an improvement
over previous model years. It was more powerful, it featured an
improved suspension system, and it had an aggressive appearance.
In fact, the
"Eleanor" Mustang featured in the Nicolas Cage remake of
Gone in 60 Seconds was modeled after a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang. The
1967 GT500 featured a special 428 cubic inch V-8 engine which, with
Shelby's engine mods, resulted in around 355 hp.
Ford offered a choice of five engine configurations in 1967:
Engine Code U: 200 cubic inch I-6 engine @ 120hp
Engine Code C: 289 cubic inch V-8 engine @ 200hp
Engine Code A: 289 cubic inch V-8 engine @ 225hp
Engine Code K: 289 cubic inch V-8 engine @ 271hp
Engine Code S: 390 cubic inch V-8 engine @ 320 hp

Picks: Vehicle is overall extremely nice -
not a National show car but very clean inside and out with great
patina, an excellent driver / show & shine car, it drives very well
and has been properly maintained over the
years, if I had to nitpick something I'd say the small details
overlooked during the respray are the negative
of the car - luckily also easily corrected with some time and elbow
grease, it leaks a little oil, a great looking
and very nice driving classic V8 Mustang that you can enjoy without
carrying around a bucket of detailing
equipment, ask for the large number of photos I have as they will show
the true condition, nothing else to
reasonably fault.
