1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Black With 429/460 Big Block And Ton Of Extras on 2040-cars
Fennville, Michigan, United States
For Sale:
My son and I started restoration and upgrading some years back and as life changes quickly, we left it unfinished. I have driven it in the summers for a few months, and have done some occasional upgrades such as having the Holley carb rebuilt, adding a high torque-starter with heat shielding and a Petronix ignition. The interior is stripped down to the metal, because we wanted to check for rust and add rust inhibitor from Eastwood. We also replaced the floor pans which were the only really rusty areas. Water used to come in the vent, run down the cowls and drip onto the floors on these models--hence the clear vent/cowl seal you can see in the photos just in front of the windshield. I replaced the cowls years ago, and kept the vent sealed to prevent further dripping, which is not a problem since I do not have the heater connected and drove only in fair weather anyway. So interior is bare and dash gages are disconnected, wiring harness is in place with the battery in the trunk. We didn't install the 4 point roll bar so it is in the New Parts list.
As far as issues, with cars this old there are always a few: There are three small mounting holes in the trunk lid where the Cougar spoiler was mounted. I removed it last year because it detracted from the Fastback smooth line. As it could use some body work or new paint, this is not a big issue.
It has always had a drip at the rear seal of the trans, which (the seal) I have had replaced, but it still drips---probably because it's just not driven enough and it dries out.
The rear end housing had a hairline crack in it, which I had welded, but it still drips slowly. I'd just replace it as an engine this size needs a 9-inch rear end anyway!
The engine runs well but bogs just a bit at low RPM during take off--probably because I haven't changed the spark plugs for a long time (it's a challenge the way this monster is shoe-horned it), but once past that she will bury the needle on the speedometer and go well beyond the 120 mark mph--easily--which is quite amazing considering it's a three-speed trans. The 460 has incredible torque, activate the line-lock(roll control) button on the Hurst ratchet shifter, hit the accelerator and she will vaporize the rear tires in a cloud of smoke. I never had the rear end ratio checked so I can't say what it is--somewhere in mid-range I think-- as she both accelerates well and has a good high end, as stated. That's pretty much it with issues.
Some miscellaneous comments:
The Weld racing wheels need a good polish but are in good condition. The Radial T/A's are in very good condition with maybe 4,000 miles on them. I was told the Cobra air cleaner is vintage and rare. It has a Accel SuperCoil, GT style Fog lamps, '69 Cobra Jet hood scoop and shock tower brace and Monte Carlo bar.
New Part include: 4-Point roll bar 3 inch Simpson Platinum racing belts. Certified Racing fuel cell. Power window and switch kit. Matching Black Vinyl Pro Car front seats. Hardware and track adapters for new seats. Deluxe Black Interior Carpet. Acoustic/heat Matting. Trunk lining/matt. Xenon headlamps. Kick panels.
Used Parts include: All seats, front and back. Deluxe interior panels w/brushed Aluminum finish. Extra Rear Window Glass. Extra set Driver/Passenger windows. Various miscellaneous parts (bolts, screws, etc.) Dash panels.
Note: Used parts are in fair to good condition but will need some TLC to bring them back to top condition.
Also: The Vehicle and all parts are being sold AS IS. I am more than willing to answer any questions you might have. Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns. I will do my best to answer them in a timely fashion either via phone or email. I have more photos if needed or can take specific ones on request. You are welcome to come and see it in person. I want a satisfied buyer, someone who will bring this beautiful Classic back to it's full glory! Thanks for viewing and taking the time to look! |

2015 Roush Mustang lineup officially revealed
Thu, 02 Oct 2014
Just last week, Saleen revealed initial details of its tuning program for the new Ford Mustang. And now Roush is following suit.
Available in three stages - based on the V6 (RS), EcoBoost (RS1) and V8 (RS2) models - the 2015 Roush Mustangs all feature the venerable Ford tuner's latest R7 aero kit complete with remodeled fascia, five-blade grille, gaping air dam with integrated driving lamps and splitter. Around back there's a one-piece deck spoiler and "race-inspired lower aero-valance."
Ford pulls official support from top-level NHRA teams
Sun, 11 Aug 2013As the smallest team in the sport, it wasn't really a surprise when Dodge decided to pull out of NASCAR, but Autoweek is reporting that Ford is looking to pull the plug on its professional-level NHRA sponsorships following the 2014 season. With attendance and television ratings down, the article reports that Ford is just backing out of the top series but will remain active in the Sportsman classes of racing, which are geared more toward the grassroots and semi-professional racers.
This means that one of drag racing's biggest names, John Force, will be left looking for new sponsorship after next season. Force, 64, has been with Ford for 17 years, winning 15 championships in that time and winning almost half of all Funny Car events in his Mustang since he started working with Ford in 1997, but after 2014, there could be some big shakeups at John Force Racing.
According to the report, Force would consider is moving over to the Top Fuel dragster series, although he could also move to another manufacturer to remain in the Funny Car series. With Ford on the way out, this leaves just Toyota and Dodge as the remaining active automakers in the highest levels of drag racing.
