 SHOW IT, DRIVE IT, ENJOY IT…AN AWESOME MUSTANG


My name is John.  Please call me at 801-680-8447 with any questions

 

This is a beautifully restored example of 1967 Mustang Coupe that has been transformed into a convertible roadster with a removable Fastback roof. It runs great, drives great, looks great, and the attention it gets is extreme!

No Disappointments: This Mustang is a great investment and a fun car to drive and enjoy. From the engine compartment to the trunk and everywhere in between, this is a clean car. 

The following will be a description of each area of the car, being as in-depth and accurate as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a classic car that is over 46 years old, and although I will describe everything as best I can, some small items may have been overlooked.

BODY:

As you can see from the photos, this Mustang has an absolute gorgeous body.  The car was professionally painted in the green that you see now. A high-quality prep and application was professionally performed. The underside is all original sheet metal, with great frame rails, strong torque boxes and undercarriage.   This is the best undercarriage that I have seen. The panels on this car show great fit and are straight. 

INTERIOR:

  • The interior is also professionally restored with all new soft trim including:      

  • Upholstery

  • Dash Pad

  • Door Panels

  • Headliner

  • Carpeting: 


  • ENGINE / MECHANICS:

The 289 310 HP engine has been professionally rebuilt.  There is  2630 miles on the rebuilt engine and 5 speed transmission.  The car runs strong and fast.  There are no fluid leaks, or smoke. 

  • 1" Front sway bar

  • KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks front and rear

  • Ceramic silver coated long tube headers

  • 2 1/2' Flowmaster Dual Exhaust with Pipe (sounds aggressively amazing)

  • Coys Custom Eleanor Wheels

  • Comp Camshaft

  • K&N Air filter

  • Aluminum Big Block Radiator

  • Flaming River Manual Steering Box

  • T-5 five speed manual transmission

  • Cable type clutch conversion

  • Old Air Products Hurricane Air Conditioning System (need to finish lines and charge)

  • Optima Ret Top deep cycle battery

  • Delta HID headlights

  • Sony XPLOD stereo CD player with IPOD Hookup

  • Sony 6" front speakers and 6X9 rear speakers with 2 8" 800watt subwoofers with custom sealed enclosures

  • Sound Storm 1,000 watt amplifier with remote gain adjust

  • Center Console

  • Custom Auto Meter Sport Comp Gauges

This Mustang starts at the flick of the key and runs strong and smooth.  The car tracks straight and brakes straight, has good steering response and a nice ride. The 5-Speed transmission shifts very responsive and smooth. The engine compartment is clean, and detailed. Front drum brakes and rear drum brakes.  Suspension and is firm and responsive to the touch.  The car runs and drive like new.  Fly in and drive home this mechanically sound automobile.

 

TRUNK:

The trunk area is very clean, detailed, and looks great. There is not even a hint of rust.  No issues here, the pictures of the car speak for themselves.

 

COMMON ROOF QUESTIONS:

·     How is the roof attached?  Is the roof water-tight?



The roof weighs 75 pounds when tried out.  the roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes.    The top is held on by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear.   (See pictures below) There is a metal header attached to the roof.  On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips)  The two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sunvisor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts,  The fiberglass roof up front is built to have a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim.  The back of the roof is held on by two wing nuts.  For mounting the back of the roof, two coupe sunvisor bracket rods are secured to the rear seat metal back frame. (Don't laugh . . . it works, its simple and inexpensive.)  The sunvisor bracket rods so they could swivel out of the way when the top is in the down position.  This keeps the top from tearing or catching the mounting rods.   The sunvisor rods are tapped to accept a 5/16 wing nut.  The sunvisor bracket is double nutted for  a height adjustment of the roof.  There is metal reinforcement attached to the roof where the wing nuts attach.  The owner can adjust the double nut, thus adjust the roof height.   I choose to have the roof sit 1/4 inch off the paint.  I do not want to marr the paint.  Weatherstripping can be attached to the roof where the roof sits on the convertible boot snap trim (hockey sticks).  This weatherstripping will keep most of the water and wind  noise out.  When the new owner installed the rear glass, rain should not get into the car.  However,  if this car is taken to a car wash, and the pressure washer is aimed at the roof to body lines, or the window to roof lines, some water will get in, just like any old Mustang.   In short, the roof can be as water tight as the new owner wants it to be, but keep in mind that the tighter the roof, the more chance for paint damage. 

·     Where can I buy a roof?

 We own the mold and make the roof.  The roofs price is $2,500 + $150 crate fee + shipping.   Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  This is for the fiberglass roof only.    The back window, drip rail and window trim is not included. 

 ·      Where can the other parts that are not included in this auction be purchased?

 Back Mustang Fastback rear glass, drip rail, rear window trim can purchased from any large Mustang Supplier such as:  NPD and Mustangs Unlimited.

·     Can the trunk open with the roof on?

 The trunk can not be opened with the roof on.  I have tried many modifications to make this possible.  All of the modifications drastically changed the look of the convertible. 

OVERALL:

The car of course gets lots of looks, it's really what I'd call the perfect collector car: a super desirable 1967 Mustang roadster with a removable Fastback roof.  This car is mechanically sound and runs fantastic.  The title is free and clear in my hand.

Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.

Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).

Ford dealers offered discounts on tools to fix aluminum

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

With the introduction of the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 (and the likely use of aluminum in future Ford products), Ford is looking to help its dealerships reduce costs related to repairing this more labor-intensive material. Automotive News is reporting that Ford dealers with body shops will require an estimated $30,000 to $50,000 in equipment and training to work on aluminum, and to help alleviate the financial burden of the new F-150, Ford has announced a special 20-percent discount on this equipment.
Dealers will be able to save up to $10,000 on tools such as welders, air-filtration systems and rivet guns and to create aluminum-specific work stations. The new F-150 goes on sale in the fourth quarter, and dealers have until October 31 to take advantage of this deal, according to the report.
