The 390 (6.4-liter) big-block V8 engine was the most powerful choice in the model year 1967 Mustang lineup, generating 320 horsepower and 427 lb-ft (579 Nm) of torque.
In fact, this big block also remained among the top engines for the next Mustangs out there, with only the 428 (7.0-liter) Cobra Jet eventually surpassing its maximum power limit with a total output of 335 horsepower.
The 1967 Mustang production exceeded 472,000 units, out of which the fastback accounted for approximately 71,000 cars. And needless to say, not a lot of them were equipped with this 390 big block, so the Mustang we have here is clearly a rare find.
Unfortunately, eBay seller clazzicautoz isn’t providing one essential tidbit: the current health of the engine.
It’s pretty clear the Mustang doesn’t come in its best shape, and judging from the photos included in the online auction and also embedded in our article, the car has been sitting for many years.
There’s a good chance the engine is currently locked up from sitting, so such information would definitely come in handy. The seller does say the car needs mechanical fixes, so a visual inspection of the Mustang should help better determine if there’s still life in this big block.
The Mustang left the factory painted in Acapulco Blue, and this once again makes it quite a rare example of the 1967 lineup. According to some rough estimates, Ford built around 25,000 Mustangs painted in this color, so when looking at the entire mix as a whole, it’s pretty clear that what we have here is a rare gem.
The seller also has a Marti report, which should help us figure out just how rare this Mustang really is, but the potato-quality photo makes it impossible to see anything in the scan.
The bidding is advancing slowly, and the top bid at the time of writing has reached $1,500. Of course, the reserve is yet to be met.
