Amazing Mustang! I bet you paid a pretty penny for her. Please leave the wheels alone. Are they 15x10 on the rear? What is the tire size? The body lines are perfect! Thanks for sharing! Subscribed.
I love your ‘67 fastback Mustang! It is from my era, but sadly, I never owned one! I was driving an automatic Chevelle SS 396 at 325 horses. Tried to buy a new ‘68 fastback with 390 and four speed but I could not fine one in my area. Drove to NC and found one in Charlotte but sales manager tried to screw me over! Once I realized what was happening I walked out! Boy, oh Boy! Did I ever want that Mustang!
I like the ‘67-‘68 fast backs best. I had a ‘69 Mach 1 with a bored out 390 and a ‘70 coupe with a Boss 302 but the ‘67-‘68’s have eluded me thus far. Nice pony thanks for sharing man.🤘🏻🇺🇸
@tuckamorecustomknives4550, Bullsh*T. No factory Boss 302 engine ever came in a Mustang coupe. All were Mustang Fastback cars. No 390 Mustang Mach 1 fastback cars were produced either. As I recall, the 390 came in '69 Mustang GT but GT was discontinued early in '69. I worked at Ford for 40 years as a master level factory certified auto/truck tech.
Had a moss green 67 390 GT back in 73, the previous owner had all the paperwork from new. At 4K miles the shortblock was replaced by Ford, the paperwork said warranty service block. They put a 427 shortblock in and used the 390 topend. I replaced the heads with medium riser heads, cam, sidewinder intake, and headers. With 3.89 gears it held it own on the street, ran a best of 12.10 at the track on street tires. Bought a new truck in 79, I remember thinking I got a great deal when they offered me $1500 on trade in.
OMG, man to have that one back? I missed out on a 68 fastback that had a 427 side oiler in it back several years ago in San Francisco that was for sale and could of picked it up for $55K, he originally wanted $68K, had to sell it, I wish I had the money to buy it back then, a 68 with a side oiler, 4 speed, 9" and it passed me by? Stay safe!
Absolutely stunning. And has the perfect mods. Leave the idle as is. Standard trans cars need a little more idle than the autos. Plus it’s better for the lifters with splash lubrication.
@@frankortiz578 Thank you for the response, it took me so long to find a mustang that had original body panels 0 rust and all original frame rails, the cars solid as a rock. I have about $75-$78K in the car as it sits now with the new 5 speed in it. I'll keep it for a while but if down the road if its up for sale I can let you know for sure. Thank you again.
Thank you, yes all original body panels, no rust and was repainted original color many years ago but has held up well. This is the original color to the car, dark moss green. Sure is a blast to drive!
Thank you, took it out yesterday to a cars and coffee and it ran like a champ! Now with the 5 speed in it OMG ran so well, can't get enough driving in. Thank you and stay safe!
Guys, the TKO 600 five speed is now installed and I'm telling you that's the way to go. With 3.55 gears and a 5 speed I'm now at 2 grand at 70-75 mph. A 5 speed would be good even with 3.73's in my opinion. I don't think you need a 6 speed unless you have really low gears, i'm mean really low gears in the ass end.
I love this car n ive set myself to getting one in the future. could you give me a few tips n also things people dont realize goes into owning one of these beauties ?
Don't you have to have cars checked in California like for emissions, etc. Your governor has gone crazy for electric stuff and exhaust emissions. Just wondering how you deal with that.
I never understood why Ford never offered the 428 option for the 66-67 Fairlane and the 67 Mustang(not to mention why wasn't the 427 medium riser offered for the 67 mustang like the Fairane). Even the 428 Thunder Jet|Police Interceptor version would have been than the 390. Thankfully the Tasca Ford dealership showed Dearborn what they could have with a standard 428, a set of 427 low riser heads, a GT 390 cam, and a 428 police interceptor intake manifold with a 735 Holley 4V carb.. They listened....and the 428 CJ was born.
Tom thank you for the kind words. Love the car, running really nice and so much fun to drive so for right now no, she's a keeper at least for the time being. I take very good care of this car, never raced, never run hard and always looked after. so this one would be the one to buy! Stay safe! Jerry
No, I'd stay with the TKO 600 5 speed unless you have 4.11 gears or something? But with 3.55 a 5 speed is perfect in my opinion. You don't need the 6 speed. The 5 speed made all the difference and it's perfect with my gears. That extract 6th gear maybe if your rear end is geared really low, I mean really low? 4.10's, 4.11's or lower? The TKO 600 is the better 5 speed so go with that one, not just the regular 5 speed. In my humble opinion I'd stay with that one, TKO 600 five speed! TY Jerry
Another thought, even with 3.73 gears the TKO five speed is the way to go. I really don't think a person needs the 6th gear? 5 if fun to shift, you have the extract gear and at 70-75 I'm at maybe 2 grand! And you really can't drive faster then that with out looking for a speeding ticket? LOL.
