 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)

  • 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 Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
