1967 Mustang
Pony: fun, sporty, powerful, reasonable price, easy to service, looks better today then when it was first introduced. The car was th 67 Mustang, quite possibly the best looking Mustang of all time. In two-door hardtop with a 200 cid 6 cyl, it was pure econamy and fun. Add a 289 V-8 and a convertable body, and we are talking "every night is Saturday night". Add a sleek fastback design with a 390 V-8 in red, and this car has muscle and power writtin all over it!
With a base price starting at $2,500 for the two-door hardtop, the Mustand filled the gap left by the Thunderbird when it went from a two seater to a four seater 1n '58, and up in price.
In its basic origional form or shape that the Mustang had from '64 to '73 (the last year of the real Mustang look) 2,989,822 Mustangs were sold. At times it appers that the Mustang is living pony; it can seem that there are more on the road today then when they were new. As for "newness", the car looks as fresh today as when it was first introduced- 1964 1/2, to be exact.
In 1968 the new 302 V-8 was added to the engine line, along with the 427 V-8 and 428 v-8, Cobra Jet. The 1969 year saw the introduction of the 351 V-8 "Cleveland" engine.
In 1971 the Mustang got a slight face lift and the convertable was now a true fun car. It had a glass rear window that could be unzipped for added ventilation, and went down wht the top automaticly.
For 1974 the Mustang was completly re-vamped. The fun, sporty, muscle-power, easy-to-service car was no more. The car may still have the name tagged on it, but to anyone who has ever owned a 64-73 pony car, there was only one true Mustang.
