I’d like to share this with you PT.2
Discussion
Hey everyone. If you remember me I posted a few months ago sharing my 1970 Impala with you all. Well today, I wanted to share my girlfriends new purchase with you.
Her dream car - 1967 Ford Mustang, 4.7 V8.
Cosmetically, is not great. But mechanically it’s awesome. I haven’t taken many photos yet but I will be taking hundreds during the restoration process.
Please, let us know what you think.![](https://thumbsnap.com/sc/WtD8xVNZ.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="https://thumbsnap.com/WJvLbtUt" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]https://thumbsnap.com/sc/WJvLbtUt.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="https://thumbsnap.com/AdYNmoVD" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]https://thumbsnap.com/sc/AdYNmoVD.jpg[/img]</a> <a href="https://thumbsnap.com/8kZ74zHt" Target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[img]https://thumbsnap.com/sc/8kZ74zHt.jpg)

Well if nothing else you and your girlfriend seem to be made for each other. 
Looking forward to some more details of the Mustang - it doesn't look quite standard!
Indeed it’s not. I’m afraid I’m a typical “all the gear no idea” kinda guy. See, iv never had an interest in typical cars… a Ferrari could pass me and I wouldn’t turn my head because I’m just not interested, yet American muscle have always been a fascination to me, so I had to have one. Truthfully the missus knows more about cars, engines, makes/models than I do but even she couldn’t list off all its “upgrades”.Looking forward to some more details of the Mustang - it doesn't look quite standard!
What we do know is this, it was built to be a drag car. So you can imagine what it’s had done.
Looks to be a 67 Coupe.
The 5 stud wheels indicate that it’s a Factory 8 cylinder car ( sixes came on 4 stud hubs, but they could have been changed )
289 shout outs on the fenders indicate a 4.7 litre motor.
The rims look to be “ Weld Racing “ alloys, ok on a drag car, but this car is crying out for 15 in Minilites or A.R.E ( Bullitt ) mags to toughen it up !
( my 68 SS427 Camaro was on the same Weld rims, when I shipped it over 18 months ago, but a set of new 8x15 Minilites and BFG 235/15 Radial T/As have transformed it !!
Not too sure about the dodgy Mustang decals on that equally odd looking power bulge in the hood though !
Look for rot in the floors, sills and the torque boxes ( front frame rails ) - they rot very badly here. But a full range of body panels are available.
There is a good 67/68 FB group for these cars.

A man of culture I see. You did forget the slightly dodgy spoiler hiding in the back! Looks like a lovely car though - more details of the drivetrain etc, pictures under bonnet please.
