West Coast Classics are proud to present a very striking example of this 1967 Ford Mustang Sportsroof Fastback 'A' code 289/225HP 4BBL V8 Fastback in 'Rangoon Red' with a luxury Black bucket seats interior and original factory options of power steering and power disc brakes and was originally equipped with air conditioning which has since been removed and the car was built in San Jose, California.
Ford's biggest success of the sixties and the originator of the 'Pony car' concept was essentially a sporty compact car but with a now legendary long hood and short deck proportions, built on Falcon and Fairlane chassis and drive-train components, the Ford Mustang was introduced in April 1964 as '65 models and within a year became the fastest selling car of all time; with the early production cars now carrying special favor and becoming fondly known as 64 1/2 models by Mustang enthusiasts! The upgraded V8 from the Falcon six cylinder engine was the 260 c.i. V8 produced on the same assembly line with other 1964 Fords, these early models were titled as 1965 models although they were actually from the 1964 production era. After September 1964 the 260 V8 was dropped in favor of the larger 289 V8 like this particular car which actually boasted the high performance 'A' code 289/225HP 4 barrel V8!
In 1967 Ford restyled the Mustang for the first time. Increased performance and extra safety features highlighted this major restyling whilst keeping the original character and look of the original. The familiar side sculpturing now had twin simulated air scoops, the taillights were now recessed reminiscent of the "Kamm-back" on the GT-40 and Daytona Coupe race cars.
This car's engine has been rebuilt and upgraded and is extremely strong and responsive with the 4 speed manual transmission shifting smoothly through the gears and the engine temperature always remains cool. The car has desirable styled steel wheels, the Deluxe wood steering wheel, roof console with twin map lights & switches and is very striking with a still absolutely presentable older repaint in 'Rangoon Red' color paint and the mostly all original Black color 'Crinkle Vinyl' standard bucket seats interior is still in pretty fabulous condition throughout! The car has power steering and power brakes.
You will look long and hard to find a finer looking example of this highly sought after original southern California 1967 Ford Mustang Sportsroof Fastback with a 289 'A' Code High Output V8 engine! A very striking example of this very desirable Mustang and a true 'all time all American Classic' if there ever was one!
