  1967 Ford Mustang Fastback (LHD)

• Notes:
  A rousing success on street and track, the first generation Ford Mustang during 1964 – 1973 created a new class of pony car. Lee Iacocca, Vice President and General Manager of Ford Division achieved his vision of a car that would carry four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, measure no longer than 180 inches, weigh less than 2500 pounds, and sell for less than $2500. With its long hood and short deck it proved wildly popular and remains one of Ford’s classic and most well-known vehicles. To decrease development costs, the Mustang utilised already existing components from the Falcon and Fairlane models, including the chassis, suspension and drivetrain. The body sported a shorter wheelbase, wider track, lower seating position and lower overall height. An industry first “torque box” structurally stiffened the Mustang’s construction and helped contribute to better handling. The ‘67 Mustang had a fresh look and a load of horsepower. For the first time since its launch, it faced serious competition and defended itself by creating a meaner look with more muscle. The grille opening was made larger and the rear tail light concaved; the fastback now reached all the way to the rear of the trunk. Overall size, interior and cargo space were increased, as well as a new dash and integral air conditioning. New options included the tilt-away steering wheel and fold-down rear seat on the fastback model. Standard wheel covers were a 10 ? inch hubcap or a 21-spoke wheel cover. A new engine was added to the line-up for ‘67, the first Mustang big block, the 390ci. With redesigned front suspension and a dual hydraulic system, the car had a smoother overall ride. Rated at 320hp, the 390 used a single 600cfm Holley four-barrel carburettor with cast iron intake and manifolds. This engine, and a 4-speed manual transmission recorded quarter mile times of approximately 13 seconds and trap speeds of over 105 mph (169 km/h). A total of 28, 800 Mustangs with the 390 engine were produced. This 1967 Fastback 2+2 was produced on December 1st, 1966 in the San Jose plant. Fitted with a 390 cubic inch 320 hp 4 valve V8 engine with a 4 speed manual transmission. This engine was built by Californian Image Pty Ltd in Narangba QLD. The car is finished in Raven Black with GT livery (rocker panel red stripe and wheels) and brand new red vinyl interior. This left hand drive (LHD) vehicle is a stunning example and has not turned a wheel since its high level restoration by the current owner. This vehicle is very near to completion, with some mechanical adjustments and small cosmetic items needed. Accompanied with the vehicle a ‘Standard Report’ from Ford, import approval and a box of new extra parts. Odometer currently reading approximately 93,300 miles. Vehicle is sold unregistered.
