.......and, if my memory serves me correctly, I remember seeing about $1,700.00 on the window sticker of a mustang on the showroom floor back in 67..........
difference is Uni Party dollar destruction............!
be interesting to do a gold value analysis on it...........
They tell me there is a car in that picture.
***A man was trying to register the Mustang to his name after having it for about 23 years and doing some work to it. ***
DUM-Bass! He should have run it down into Arkansas and for $50.00 got a nice clean title on it showing it had never been driven over 45 MPH by a little old lady only on Sunday on her way to church!
You would be surprised at the number of new Arkansas titles on vehicles that were supposed to have been scrapped out for parts or salvage.
I hear ya. I went to high school in the mid 80s and the parking lot was full of old muscle cars. My first car was a '66 Mustang that my mom bought brand-new. As a teenager, I drove it into the ground and wound up selling it for about $400 to a guy who restored them.
Sure wish I had that car back.
It took me a minute but I’m old.

Memories.......my first car was a brand new 1967 powder blue Camarro and had a tough time deciding between the Mustang and the Camarro. My first name is SALLY and within weeks after I got my car, Wilson Pickett’s MUSTANG SALLY went viral. Regrets! LOL
Not even close. Look at the pictures at the link, it needs a lot of work.
As an old body & fender guy, I'm confused, by any chance is that 2 BIG JANEbilts in the fore-ground?
I like to think the picture shows the benefits of a FULL MEAL DEAL, or some might say the added benefit of a fully formed front soft {but just right in firmness} bumper(s). :-)
Gives a whole new meaning of she's BUILT FOR SPEED.
I let the readers decide which she, the car or her??? ;-)
“Nice rack and pinion”
I thought they used Drag links and pitman arms in the old mus..... oh wait you meant....
:-)
My ‘68 Mustang sat in my shop and before that, an airplane hanger for about 20 years before I swapped the title and restored it for my wife.
The ‘67 Fairlane GTA factory big block still sits after about 15 years. I just have to get good enough at body work to make it straight and gloss black.
My father had the plain old white '66 automatic with (aftermarket?) air for commuting.
I thought the '67 was the best looking because of the sharper door treatment. Probably added to the drag coefficient though.
That’s just about it.
FReeper post of the day!
A friend of mine had a 67 also. He bought an L88 engine through his dealership back then, and I remember seeing it sitting in a big wooden shipping crate in his garage. The engine standalone cost him about $1,800.00. My Corvette cost me $3,900 new off the showroom floor. It was the last new 67 model year Corvette still available in Dallas.
I started saving paper route and lawn mowing money for a Corvette in 1958. I worked my butt off and had $3,000 saved 9 years later at age 19. My dad loaned me the remaining $900.00.
Thanks, Dad.
65 Convertible Stangs (Mustangs) are very common. After my 65 Stang was stolen I got a Vette (rebuildable) because seeing another Stang brought back bad memories.
