1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

From the 1967 Mustang advertising, bred first… to be first. Then going on to list various features and at the end that say, and I quote “Smitten? Great! I now pronounce you man and Mustang?”

A marriage made in heaven with Dark Moss Green metallic on the exterior, a shiny snazzy interior, and a white canvas convertible top. I do, I do…really love this car!

Exterior
Bathed in a very nicely applied Dark Moss Green Metallic, straight steel abounds. Gaps are consistent and straight and only some minor scratches and chips are noted in the finish. The iconic hockey stick cove is present in the rear quarters and it flows into the doors. From the front bumper, grille galloping horse and wheel well as well as rocker trim all chrome is very nice with no dimpling or dulling. For 1967 styling becomes slightly more aggressive on a simpler grille and deeper headlights, and on the back the former outward V shaped sergeant stripe tail lights have now been inverted to inward, but still using 6 individual lights. Original wheels have been replaced with 14-inch chrome laden styled steel wheels, wrapped in nearly new 215/75R14 blackwall rubber. A white manually actuated canvas top in near showroom condition with a plastic rear window is the dollop of whipped cream on top if you will.

Interior
A manual lowering of the ceremonial convertible, (a rite of summer if you will), and we see black vinyl that is all in excellent condition. Shining like the showroom, the front buckets and rear bench welcome you to get in and drive. A floor shifter sits proudly on the hump which is covered by black carpet that is slightly faded to brown. An all original very clean dash and instrument cluster is seen, and it has A/C vents but currently the A/C is not hooked up. This car has factory power steering.

Drivetrain
The standard 289ci V8 is in an original engine bay which is clean and presents with a nice patina, all in blue painted glory. A single 2-barrel carburetor, (Autolite 2100 Carb), and a top loader 4 speed manual transmission are also attached.

Undercarriage
A Ford 8-inch 3.00 limited slip axle is attached to a solid rust free aged gracefully frame. Some surface rust is on the usual suspects. All structurally sound under here, with drum brakes and stock single piped exhaust. Plenty of patches on the rear frame rail are seen, but no rust.

Drive-Ability
Twas a nice day indeed so we put the top down and me and cohort went for a jaunt. We found this car to run well, handle nicely, shift smoothly, and corner with ease. We noted no A/C, (needs a condenser), but all other functions…well…functioned!

An older restored example still maintaining its luster, sporty interior, and smooth-running power plant. Very nice paint, clean tear free manual operating convertible top, sporty wheels, and shiny chrome and trim. I feel we will be together at least until death do us part.
