The 1967 Mustang remains one of the icons many collectors out there are still drooling over, but this doesn’t necessarily mean finding one in tip-top shape is an easy thing.
In most cases, Mustangs in mint conditions actually started as barn finds or project cars, and with the right restoration, they end up shining bright just like a diamond and wearing a price tag that few of us can really afford.
The Mustang that you see here qualifies for such a restoration job, with the car recently saved from a barn where it spent the last decade.
The new owner says it’s been sitting in storage for over 10 years, but judging from the photos you can also see in the gallery here, rust really shouldn’t be a problem on this Mustang. And this is definitely good news for whoever is planning a full restoration, especially because they can thus concentrate on what’s missing.
Unfortunately, we’re not being provided with too many specifics in this regard, though we do know the car comes with the lower and upper console, and many of the interior parts appear to still be there. The seats, for example, seem to be in good condition, especially for a Mustang this old, though you should still inspect everything closer before buying it.
If you’re interested in what’s hiding under the hood, then you should know that power comes from a working 302 engine, and the owner says some improvements have already been made, including a new Holley carburetor. With the mileage close to 115,000 miles (185,000 km), this doesn't seem to be the original engine, as a 302 Windsor V8 made its debut in 1968 with 2-barrel and 4-barrel configurations.
This Mustang barn find has already caught the attention of the WWW, so right now, several bidders are fighting for it on eBay. The top bid is currently at a little over $24,000, with the auction published by seller carlj22585 set to come to an end in some 7 days.
