- coupe 456 gasoline yellow manual
Ford didn't build very many of these, and except for the shelbys, it pretty much represents the pinnacle of blue oval pony car performance in 1967. The springtime yellow finish helps camouflage the serious performance hardware underneath, and for a car with a pedigree like this, the workmanship more than measures up. It's smooth, shiny, and well applied, far better than it would have been when it was new, and the black hood inserts act as a kind of warning for those who are paying attention. Fit and finish are excellent, with even gaps and doors that fit well, and there's just no evidence that this car was ever rusty or abused. Instead, it appears that it has always been treated as something special, and even with the thundering big block under the hood, it doesn't seem to have been hammered on friday nights. Along the way, someone has added a set of gt-spec fog lamps, which always look great on the '67s, and it's also equipped with the exterior dã©cor group, which includes the bright trim around the rear valence. The chrome bumpers are also quite nice and the whole car sparkles in the sunlight, as it should. Check out the center console, the original steering wheel, and the bright trim on the seats themselves. It's got newer seat covers, fresh carpets, and new door panels, all of which replicate the original parts exactly. The marti report and window sticker indicate that this was originally an automatic transmission car, but along the way it was fitted with a correct 4-speed and from the driver's seat, the change is all but invisible. The trunk is outfitted with a correct plaid mat that fits well and looks great. Ok, the s-code designation means this mustang packs the top 390 cubic inch v8, which, in mustang guise, makes 335 romping, stomping horsepower. Chrome details are standard-issue on the hi-po motors like this, including the air cleaner lid and powered by ford valve covers. Ford blue on the block contrasts nicely with the satin black engine bay, too.
