True, it is Chevrolet Month here at autoevolution, so a Camaro would probably have been a better fit to talk about this weekend. But just take a look at this here Mustang and you’ll see it was far too good for us to pass.
The nameplate of course needs no introduction. Presently, the Mustang enjoys its golden years: in 2019, there were 102,090 Mustangs sold all over the world, making its maker confident enough in proclaiming the model the best-selling sports car on the planet, and also the world’s best-selling sports coupe.
But that number does not take into account the many Mustangs from the past, still selling on the open market in more or less modified forms – if it did, the results would probably have been even more impressive.
The Mustang we have here, coming from all the way back in 1967, is part of the old-muscle category, and one of its finest representatives. At the receiving end of a nut-and-bolt restoration not long ago, it is currently looking for a new owner, one willing to pay a six-digit sum to get it.
For that money, buyers are offered 550 horsepower coming from the 427ci (7.0-liter) V8 with Roush Performance written all over it, and a 5-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic clutch. Handling the power generated up front are Rod and Custom Motorsports front suspension, and a Heidts one at the rear, both ending in 18-inch American Racing Shelby Cobra wheels.
The Pepper Gray and Metallic Black body sports an aggressive body kit consisting of tons of Shelby-inspired and branded elements. Inside there are new bucket seats (wrapped in leather), a factory-spec dash, and a modern air conditioning, among others, also with Shelby-honoring cues. Making the connection between the exterior and the interior is a power-operated cloth top.
As said, the car is for sale, and the garage in charge of finding a new owner is asking for $169,900 for it. Build receipts are included in the sale.
