1967 Ford Mustang

1967 Ford Mustang Sport Sprint Coupe A Rare Color Combination, Well Documented and Ready to Enjoy The 1967 Mustang represented an important step in the evolution of Ford's enormously successful pony car. This Second Series Mustang was somewhat larger and more substantial than the original 1965-66 models, while retaining the combination of sporty styling, V-8 performance and everyday drivability that made it one of America's most popular cars. This particular Mustang offers something a little more unusual than the typical 1967 coupe. It is a Sport Sprint Coupe finished in Dusk Rose with a Parchment vinyl roof and matching Deluxe Parchment interior. According to its accompanying Marti Report, only six 1967 Mustangs were built with this particular combination of paint and trim codes, giving this car a genuine measure of rarity. The Dusk Rose exterior was refreshed in 2007 and presents a distinctive appearance that sets this Mustang apart from the more commonly seen red, white and black cars. The Parchment vinyl roof and matching interior provide an especially attractive contrast. Inside are bucket seats, upper and lower center consoles and the distinctive Mustang dashboard. Under the hood is the original 289 V-8, which was rebuilt in 2007. It is paired with the original C-4 Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, also rebuilt in 2007. Together, they make this a Mustang that is just as suited to an afternoon drive or local cruise-in as it is to a spot in a collection. Adding to its usability is factory air conditioning, which blows cold—a welcome feature for anyone who intends to actually drive and enjoy a vintage Mustang rather than simply display it. Perhaps most appealing to a collector is the documentation that accompanies the car. In addition to the Marti Report, it comes with the original build sheet, a copy of the original buyer's order and the owner's manual. For both the collector as well as someone entering the classic-car hobby who wants a genuine 1960s V-8 Mustang that can be driven, enjoyed and shown, this 1967 Mustang Sport Sprint Coupe offers an appealing combination of rarity, curb-appeal, documentation and usability.
