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.
I also have a 1967 mustang that I am going to fix up for a project. it's only got a 200 cid straight six. but I agree with you when you said these were bulletproof. and you have good taste because it's a ford!
You Both have good taste picking this car. I recently got one from a rich kid at school. He gave me the 67 mustang for free and it runs. Needs paint and intereior work, but other wise the engine rocks, at 145 000 Kms its killer, Ford all the way!
1967 Coupe
I have owned the car since 1974 when I was stationed in California. I am the 2nd owner. It has a 289ci motor with a C-4 transmission. I love this car. It drives like a truck considering the automotive standards of today. It is currently in the Garage as a work in progress. I hope to have her on the road in the next year with a fresh engine and paint job. I plan on doing a number of upgrades such as front disc brakes, Flaming River steering, sound system and A/C. Thankfully, my wife allows me to buy a mustang every 40 years. So now I have a 2007 Shelby Mustang GT parked in the garage right next to my 67. They are both equally beautiful in their own way.
