The 1967 model year witnessed several big changes in the Mustang engine department. The base six-cylinder engine was a 200 straight-six with 120 horsepower, while the base V8 installed on C-code models was the 289 with 200 horsepower.
Ford also offered more powerful choices, including a four-barrel version of the 289. However, the icing on the Mustang cake for 1967 was the 390 on S-code models. It sported a four-barrel carburetor (a two-barrel version was introduced for the 1968 model year) and developed 325 horsepower.
While the 390 was a great choice for a 1967 Mustang buyer, the example in these photos hides something much more spectacular under the hood.
It's a Godzilla 7.3-liter engine, as the car has been the subject of a fantastic restomod treatment that turned it into a one-of-a-kind $99K Mustang.
The people at Earth MotorCars don't reveal any performance figures, but it's safe to assume the Godzilla offers tremendous power.
The Godzilla is paired with a Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission, with the restomod also including a TCI 4-link rear suspension, a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.70 gears, and Dual Magnaflow mufflers. The braking power is provided by Wilwood discs on all four wheels, with the car riding on 18-inch wheels with Nitto NT55 tires. The big wheels and the upgraded brakes were more of a must-have on this Mustang, considering the Godzilla muscle (though I'm still wondering how much power the 7.3-liter engine produces on this 1967 pony).
The Mustang sports a custom black interior with Dakota Digital gauges and other TMI upgrades. The odometer sports only 140 miles, as the car spent limited time on the road after the restomod was finalized. It obviously needs nothing, as everything is in tip-top shape and ready to turn heads at car shows.
While a video with the engine roaring would have been worth a thousand words, interested buyers will have to pay a visit to the garage to see the car in person. Unsurprisingly, not everybody can buy this Mustang, especially if they can't convince their significant other that spending $99.990 on an upgraded classic is a smart investment.
According to the VIN code, this Mustang started its life at the San Jose, California assembly plant as a hardtop fitted with the 289 engine rated at 200 horsepower. The transformation is impressive, especially as the C-code Mustang was one of the most common configurations in 1967.
The car is located at Earth MotorCars' garage in Carrollton, Texas, and despite the fantastic shape of this Mustang, you'll have to take it home on a trailer. Its place is in a heated garage, and a collector would likely want to preserve the low miles and its tip-top shape, so I don't expect to see it anywhere else than at car shows.
