1967 Ford Mustang Coupe review from Australia and New Zealand
"The car that can do it all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car itself has been very solid, the only problem has been with the previous work done by inexperienced people. This required a full restoration in order to properly correct.
The driver's side seat, which is now the passenger seat for RHD Australia over 40 years has suffered from collapsed springs, which is the same as the rear seat.
Neutral safety switch has failed.
Indicator selector switch failed after 1000 miles.
General comments?
This is the perfect car for a fun and reliable daily driver or weekend cruiser.
The sound the 289 makes with the right exhaust is one of the best sounds in the world.
If you drive it everyday you stand out in traffic and don't feel like a lemming by driving another a to b plastic sandwich box.
Every morning, it feels like driving a getaway car with the noise and torque of the V8 being so theatrical.
You get comments and offers to buy the car where ever you go.
You just have to find the right mechanic who knows the cars personally.
I wouldn't drive anything else as it gets me to work everyday (the daily commute is one of the most exciting things in my day), it can be used on the weekend for recreation. I take it to shows and get comments constantly.
The cars are bullet proof, with parts being cheap and plentiful. This is car that can be customized in any way I want.
People say it's an expensive car to run. but then I ask them how often they have to replace their modern cars - every 3-4 years. I won't ever replace mine - what a saving.
