1967 Ford Mustang GTA

Description

Are you tired of red resto-mod Mustangs yet? Perhaps this stunning Vapor Silver 1967 Ford Mustang GTA coupe will cure what ails you. The incredible build not only gives the car serious performance credentials, but it's so drop-dead gorgeous that people will follow you for miles just to ask you about it. It's that kind of car.

The transformation on this Mustang isn't as dramatic as you'd think, but that's the quality talking to you. The bodywork is expertly done and the silver paint works better on the vintage Mustang body shell than you'd expect. It looks modern and clean, and with the correct GTA stripe along the rockers, there's a bit of tradition in there, too (yes, this is a real-deal documented GTA). The paint is so fresh you can almost smell it, and thanks to a full wet sand and buff, it looks like a million bucks. The '67's details work exceptionally well, with the crease along the sides standing out clearly in silver, showing off some ultra-straight bodywork. The color suggests a lot of modifications, but it's quite stock save for some crystal clear headlight lenses. Even better, check out how the chrome pops against the silver paint, with fresh bumpers, a correct GT grille insert with fog lamps, and beautifully detailed taillights. This is a seriously nice GTA.

So you're already drooling over the slick bodywork, well, get ready to be blown away by the custom interior. Ford put two-tone interiors in Mustangs, of course, but they never looked like this. The whole interior is from TMI, including Deluxe Sport R low-back bucket seats and a custom center console. New carpets, trick custom door panels that fit into the original slots in the door, and a factory steering wheel neatly blend old and new seamlessly. And no resto-mod would be complete without all the modern conveniences, so this one carries upgraded R134a A/C that uses the factory vents, a custom center console with cup holders, and a powerful AM/FM/iPod stereo system with speakers throughout the passenger compartment. The steering wheel and gauges are original pieces that have been restored, and they have a proper, new factory look, and the T-handle shifter manages the original (and freshly rebuilt) C4 3-speed automatic transmission. The back seat is custom-upholstered to match the buckets and the trunk is finished with a correct mat and full-sized spare with cover.

The engine appears to be the original 289 cubic inch V8, which was just rebuilt (100 miles ago!) to stock specs by Johnson Garage in Georgia. With a bunch of the usual horsepower goodies, including a big Holley carburetor, Flamethrower ignition system, and a big aluminum radiator, it's docile enough to drive every day but powerful enough to be a thrill on the weekends. The engine bay is dressed for show with lots of black wrinkle finish and polished aluminum, and the modern hardware ensures reliability. The A/C system was updated with modern components, but this is a factory air car, and power steering is included, too. The front suspension is stock but fully rebuilt, and you can tell this was a rotisserie job because the floors are as nicely finished as the bodywork. A stainless dual exhaust system has a great sound that lets the 289 rumble a bit without getting annoying and it sits on gorgeous Legendary wheels which look a lot like period Magnums but carry 225/55/16 performance radials.

Yes, it's gorgeous. Yes, it's fast. Yes, it's comfortable. You could probably spend more money, but it's going to be hard to get more Mustang than this. Nicely documented with a reproduction window sticker and build photos with receipts, you can definitely buy with confidence. Call today!
