 SHOW IT, DRIVE IT, ENJOY IT…AN AWESOME MUSTANG


My name is John.  Please call me at 801-680-8447 with any questions

 

This is a beautifully restored example of 1967 Mustang Coupe that has been transformed into a convertible roadster with a removable Fastback roof. It runs great, drives great, looks great, and the attention it gets is extreme!

No Disappointments: This Mustang is a great investment and a fun car to drive and enjoy. From the engine compartment to the trunk and everywhere in between, this is a clean car. 

The following will be a description of each area of the car, being as in-depth and accurate as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a classic car that is over 46 years old, and although I will describe everything as best I can, some small items may have been overlooked.

BODY:

As you can see from the photos, this Mustang has an absolute gorgeous body.  The car was professionally painted in the green that you see now. A high-quality prep and application was professionally performed. The underside is all original sheet metal, with great frame rails, strong torque boxes and undercarriage.   This is the best undercarriage that I have seen. The panels on this car show great fit and are straight. 

INTERIOR:

  • The interior is also professionally restored with all new soft trim including:      

  • Upholstery

  • Dash Pad

  • Door Panels

  • Headliner

  • Carpeting: 


  • ENGINE / MECHANICS:

The 289 310 HP engine has been professionally rebuilt.  There is  2630 miles on the rebuilt engine and 5 speed transmission.  The car runs strong and fast.  There are no fluid leaks, or smoke. 

  • 1" Front sway bar

  • KYB Gas-A-Just Shocks front and rear

  • Ceramic silver coated long tube headers

  • 2 1/2' Flowmaster Dual Exhaust with Pipe (sounds aggressively amazing)

  • Coys Custom Eleanor Wheels

  • Comp Camshaft

  • MSD electronic ignition module

  • MSD Distributor

  • Holley street avenger 670 CFM Carb

  • Edelbrock HI-Flow Fuel Pump

  • K&N Air filter

  • Aluminum Big Block Radiator

  • Flaming River Manual Steering Box

  • T-5 five speed manual transmission

  • Cable type clutch conversion

  • Old Air Products Hurricane Air Conditioning System (need to finish lines and charge)

  • Optima Ret Top deep cycle battery

  • Delta HID headlights

  • Sony XPLOD stereo CD player with IPOD Hookup

  • Sony 6" front speakers and 6X9 rear speakers with 2 8" 800watt subwoofers with custom sealed enclosures

  • Sound Storm 1,000 watt amplifier with remote gain adjust

  • Center Console

  • Custom Auto Meter Sport Comp Gauges

This Mustang starts at the flick of the key and runs strong and smooth.  The car tracks straight and brakes straight, has good steering response and a nice ride. The 5-Speed transmission shifts very responsive and smooth. The engine compartment is clean, and detailed. Front drum brakes and rear drum brakes.  Suspension and is firm and responsive to the touch.  The car runs and drive like new.  Fly in and drive home this mechanically sound automobile.

 

TRUNK:

The trunk area is very clean, detailed, and looks great. There is not even a hint of rust.  No issues here, the pictures of the car speak for themselves.

 

COMMON ROOF QUESTIONS:

·     How is the roof attached?  Is the roof water-tight?



The roof weighs 75 pounds when tried out.  the roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes.    The top is held on by two bolts in the front and two wing nuts in the rear.   (See pictures below) There is a metal header attached to the roof.  On this metal header, there are two tinnerman nuts (mustang fender nut clips)  The two bolts go thru the mustang convertible sunvisor bracket dowel pin guide hole and thread into the tinnerman nuts,  The fiberglass roof up front is built to have a gasket that sits on the windshield stainless steel trim.  The back of the roof is held on by two wing nuts.  For mounting the back of the roof, two coupe sunvisor bracket rods are secured to the rear seat metal back frame. (Don't laugh . . . it works, its simple and inexpensive.)  The sunvisor bracket rods so they could swivel out of the way when the top is in the down position.  This keeps the top from tearing or catching the mounting rods.   The sunvisor rods are tapped to accept a 5/16 wing nut.  The sunvisor bracket is double nutted for  a height adjustment of the roof.  There is metal reinforcement attached to the roof where the wing nuts attach.  The owner can adjust the double nut, thus adjust the roof height.   I choose to have the roof sit 1/4 inch off the paint.  I do not want to marr the paint.  Weatherstripping can be attached to the roof where the roof sits on the convertible boot snap trim (hockey sticks).  This weatherstripping will keep most of the water and wind  noise out.  When the new owner installed the rear glass, rain should not get into the car.  However,  if this car is taken to a car wash, and the pressure washer is aimed at the roof to body lines, or the window to roof lines, some water will get in, just like any old Mustang.   In short, the roof can be as water tight as the new owner wants it to be, but keep in mind that the tighter the roof, the more chance for paint damage. 

·     Where can I buy a roof?

 We own the mold and make the roof.  The roofs price is $2,500 + $150 crate fee + shipping.   Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  This is for the fiberglass roof only.    The back window, drip rail and window trim is not included. 

 ·      Where can the other parts that are not included in this auction be purchased?

 Back Mustang Fastback rear glass, drip rail, rear window trim can purchased from any large Mustang Supplier such as:  NPD and Mustangs Unlimited.

·     Can the trunk open with the roof on?

 The trunk can not be opened with the roof on.  I have tried many modifications to make this possible.  All of the modifications drastically changed the look of the convertible. 

OVERALL:

The car of course gets lots of looks, it's really what I'd call the perfect collector car: a super desirable 1967 Mustang roadster with a removable Fastback roof.  This car is mechanically sound and runs fantastic.  The title is free and clear in my hand.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
