1967 Ford Mustang
Ford’s first major Mustang redesign arrived for 1967, driven largely by the need to accommodate a big-block V-8 and the looming arrival of the Chevrolet Camaro. The body grew wider and slightly longer while retaining the 108-inch wheelbase, with the engine bay and front structure revised to accept the new 390 CI engine.
The result was a more muscular appearance: a deeper grille with rectangular mesh insert, body-colored side scoops (previously chrome), and a concave rear taillight panel.
Three body styles continued (coupe, fastback, and convertible) with total sales reaching 472,121 units. Engine choices ran from a 200 CI inline-six through two versions of the 289 CI V-8, up to the new 390 CI big-block rated at 320 hp. Midyear, the 390 was joined by the 427 CI V-8 in very limited numbers.
The GT Equipment Group added fog lights, dual exhaust with quad outlets, and front disc brakes. The 289 Hi-Po was offered for the last time in 1967, with 472 cars built to that specification.
Wide-ranging factory options (covering comfort, appearance, and performance) meant individual cars varied considerably, a key part of the model’s broad market appeal from the start.
