Classic Ford Mustang For Sale

When the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback was first sold, the general opinion is that it is way too big and heavy compared to its popular predecessors, the 1965 and 1966 Mustangs. However, consumer preferences do change with times and now the 1967 Mustang Fastback is more hotly sought after due to its larger frame and presence on the roads. Prices for 1967 Mustang for sale today tend to be the highest among the other classic Ford cars in the same late 65's group.

There was quite the phenomenon with the release of the 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang, although other major car manufacturers in that era quickly catch up with their own offerings within a few years.

For example Chevrolet has the Camaro line up and other competitors including the Plymouth Barracuda, the Mercury Cougar, the Pontiac Firebird, etc.

Hence, Ford came up with the legendary 1967 Mustang Fastback redesign to challenge these new newcomers.

Like all other classic muscle cars, the 1967 Mustang is prone to rust so you need to check carefully when meeting a seller. If you find rust and heavy pitting on the known problem areas that requires bodywork beyond your knowledge, you should consider carefully whether you should still buy it and send for professional restoring or not.

However, Ford engineers must have been probably quite disappointed with the lukewarm market response. The '67 standard coupe was priced at $2,461 and over 320,000 cars were sold. Comparatively, the 1967 Mustang Fastback price is $2,692 and only 50,000 vehicles were sold. 

While the 1967 Mustang coupe sold well, the Fastback version was not that popular then and the total number of units sold was lesser than other models. The 67 Ford Mustang Fastback has the very appealing 2+2 Fastback configuration, which drives many car lovers crazy and wanted to own it today. Strange enough, consumers back in the late 60s did not appreciate the 2+2 body style. This made them so much rarer today after over 40 years since its debut. This rarity in good condition 1967 Mustang Fastback for sale coupled with the increasing numbers of classic car collectors that wanted to buy made them very desirable.

For the vintage muscle car enthusiast who wants to find a restorable 1967 Mustang Fastback for sale, note that they are many others doing the same.

The best option is to find a 67 Mustang Fastback in junkyard condition and carefully restore it to its former glory. It will take you a lot of time and probably some money as well to look for usable parts, but the results will be well worth your efforts.

Nevertheless, most people who buy a 1967 Mustang Fastback for sale do so despite the obvious rust and corrosion problems on these classic beauties. It is not like you can easily find several of these for sale by their owners who are giving up on the hobby. The opportunity to buy a 67 Ford Mustang for sale at an affordable price does not come often, but there are many mechanics that will be able to do the bodywork required to fix the problems in your 67 Mustang Fastback.
