1967 Ford Mustang Coupe review from UK and Ireland

Snapped strut rod - had to get a new part made as apparently they "Don't break". Wasn't expensive, but took 3 weeks.

Original carpets are worn, but still in good condition for age.

4 drum brakes won't stop you very quickly!!

This car is fantastic. The '67 really took the mustang to iconic status, the lines are more aggressive than the 65 and 66 models however everything els is much the same.

The 289ci engine (4.7 litres) is nice and torquey and gets you off the line quickly and will sit at 90 on the motorway at about 2500 to 3000 revs.

The C4 automatic gearbox is still solid and doesn't clunk.

The mechanics on these cars are pretty much bullet-proof, at 100000 miles the engine has only just bedded in and there are no major leaks or faults. The gearbox is sweet and the rear axle is solid.

These cars are incredibly easy to work on because they are mechanically simple and there is so much space under the bonnet.

The steering is very light and the handling is much better than expected however combined with rear wheel drive and old brakes it does require that you change your driving style accordingly.
