Manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since 1964, the Mustang is a vehicle that personifies American muscle, and American car lovers have weaved it into the American tapestry. In production now for nearly fifty continuous years and still going strong, the Mustang caters to the modern driver and the classics enthusiast alike.
Ford premiered the Mustang with the model that enthusiasts sometimes refer to as the 1964 1/2 Mustang in order to differentiate it from the 1964 Ford Falcon, which had a "Ford Mustang" trim, sometimes called the 1964 Ford Mustang, and the 1965 Mustang. The car entered the market with a bang on the heels of a tremendous amount of publicity stirred by large events such as the 1964 James Bond blockbuster film Goldfinger featuring it.
By the time that Ford introduced the 1967 Ford Mustang for sale, just three short years later, the Ford Mustang was already a household name, and the Chevy Camaro had just recently entered the muscle car picture to a great amount of fanfare. The 1967 Ford Mustang is part of group that enthusiasts and historians refer to as the "late 65's" because there were quite a few differences between them and the early, essentially prototype, Mustangs like the 1964 1/2.
By the 1967 model year, gone was the DC electrical generator, and in its place was the all-new AC alternator. Until this day, the easiest way to identify a late '65 is to see if the alternator light on the dash reads "GEN" or "ALT". Another big difference was the engine lineup. The T-code engine is a 3.3-liter engine that produces 120 horsepower. This was the direct replacement for the 4.3-liter L-code included in earlier models.
Ford also broadened the engine lineup. It now included the 4.7-liter C-code, the base two-barrel carburetor V8 that produced 200 horsepower. The A-code was a four-barrel variation of the C-code that generated 225 horsepower. Finally, there was the "Hi-Po" K-code that hammered out a chest-thumping 271 horsepower.
A 1967 Ford Mustang for sale may also boast the GT (Gran Touring) equipment package, which was the precursor to the now-famous Mustang GT. On a 1967 Ford Mustang for sale, in addition to the V8 engine, this included disc brakes, grille-mounted fog lamps, and rocker panel stripes. A 1967 2+2 fastback model is also available, a body style that Ford introduced with the "late 65's".
A 1967 Mustang for sale is instantly identifiable by the concave tail lamp deck and a larger rectangular grille recessed into the bodywork. It's a very distinct look, and although we mentioned the "ALT" and "GEN" hint earlier, one won't need that to identify a 1967 Mustang for sale.
The 390 GT engine option was the popular choice at the time, and the one a collector is likely to run into often while shopping for a 1967 Mustang for sale. However, the rarer K-code engine had more functional horsepower, and for that reason, is highly coveted by enthusiasts.
The great aspect of the '67 Mustang and the other "late 65's" for the collector is that if one is willing to contribute a great deal of elbow grease to the project, than there's no need to be wealthy in order to possess one of these jewels. Just be patient, and always inspect the areas notorious for rust, such as the rear frame rails alongside the gas tank, front floor torque boxes, leaf spring perches, front frame rails, engine saddle, rocker panels, and doorsills.
