1967 Ford Mustang GT

The genesis for the line of tuned Mustangs that subsequently followed, was the early production 289ci High Performance (Hi-Po) Mustang. Introduced in 1965 as a Fastback, this was the model that Carroll Shelby took and rebadged as the GT350. Only 535 of these early K-Code cars were produced with many destined for Shelby's Los Angeles workshops. These early cars were produced with performance in mind with the Hi-Po 289 engine, no power steering, revised suspension, optional front discs and with a manual 4-speed gearbox. Only one percent of Mustangs produced in 1965 were 289 Hi-Po examples, making it a very rare car before the marketing department realised the potential of badging it as a GT.

Offered here is a right-hand drive, 1967 Ford Mustang GT Automatic fitted with the 4.7-litre Windsor Hi-Po V8. It has recently been restored and was imported into the UK during the summer of last year from USA (Not Australia). This rare beast is now UK registered and has resided in our vendor"s significant private collection, which has full-time employees whose responsibilities include making sure all the cars are presented in the best way possible and this Mustang is certainly no exception.

We hope to have more information about this car shortly, but its history is a bit academic when you look at it. Finished in a fabulous Dark/Midnight Blue with a superb black interior this car has been detailed to within an inch of its life. This is a rare '67 Fastback that has been subject to a 'show-standard' restoration and invites further inspection.

Latest updates (11/11/2016):

The car came from the USA and was registered in Scottsdale (not Australia as advertised).

Most of the work was completed by Desert Classic Mustangs in Arizona - cost around £100k to do the job.

The car had a completely new shell and suspension components. It has the deluxe dash kit and the auto transmission is also new from ford and can handle 500bhp if needed as it has an upgraded torque converter.

The car was restored to stock factory finish and has adjustable suspension and upgraded discs.

We don't have the paperwork yet but trying to source.
