1967 Ford Mustang

The 1960s-era Ford Mustang has proven to be the ideal platform for the resto-mod movement. Classic styling and road manners combined with modern upgrades that improve handling, braking, safety, and yes, even power, have carved a fresh path for Fords iconic muscle car. This Nightmist Blue 1967 Mustang convertible shows whats possible when the best of vintage style and modern aftermarket engineering lift a car to its true potential. The recipient of a full rotisserie restoration in 2019, this Mustang is loaded with thoughtful and unexpected details, from LED sequential taillights to electric exhaust cutouts.

The interior features period highlights such as a wood-rimmed steering wheel with center Cobra emblem, and a Hurst shifter topped with a classic cue ball shift knob. Contemporary upgrades include a Bluetooth stereo and sleek black-on-white gauges from Classic Instruments. The interior was restored using TMI parts and components. One unique and irreplaceable feature is the dash with original autographs by Carroll Shelby, Phil Remington, and Bob Bondurant.

The powertrain was built using proven Ford engine strategies. The Ford Racing V8 is based on a 351 block bored and stroked to 427 cubic inches. The Boss 351 block is filled with a SCAT forged steel crankshaft, SCAT H-beam connecting rods, ARP fasteners, and forged Mahle pistons with floating wrist pins. The cylinder heads are Ford Racing aluminum Z2 units (M-6049-Z2), with 2.02 intake valves and 1.60 exhaust. The hydraulic roller camshaft checks in at .594/.618 lift and 242 /248 duration (@.050 in). The compression ratio is 10.5:1 (nominal). Horsepower rings the bell at 535 @ 5600 rpm (498 at the wheels), with torque coming in at 545 lb.ft. @ 4500 rpm (535 at the wheels). The engine will be a hit with the hood raised on car show days as well, with a March pulley system, finned Ford Racing 427 Cobra valve covers, and careful underhood detailing.

The engine is teamed with a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission for maximum driving fun. The 9-inch Traction-Lok rear end with 3.73 gearing launches the car with authority. The Heidts coilover front suspension and wide wheels with low-profile tires keep this Mustang planted through corners in a way that a stock Mustang never could.

Classic vibes and modern hardware create an irresistible combination in this car. This unique resto-mod Mustang convertible is being offered for $129,950. VIN: 7T03A200805
