Lot 305: 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible

In 1961, Lee Iacocca, vice president and general manager of Ford Division, had a vision. His vision was a car that would seat four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, be no more than 180 inches long, and weigh less than 2500 pounds. Out of this vision, the Mustang was born. After many months of meetings, discussions and market surveys, funding was finally approved for the Mustang in September of 1962. On March 9, 1964 the first Mustang rolled off of the assembly line. Only 18 months had elapsed since the Mustang had been approved for production. With a multitude of different interior, exterior, and drive train options, the Mustang would be able to be ordered as plain or fancy, as economical or as fast as the buyer wanted. In general, the Mustang was designed for everyone and was advertised as "the car to be designed by you". 1967 brought the first major restyling to the Mustang. The Mustang was starting to grow up. The length and height were increased, 2.7" and .5" respectively. The wider body allowed for the installation of a tire smoking, 320 horsepower, 390 cid engine, the first big block engine in the mustang. The Mustang presented here is the most sought after 1967 model finished in red with white interior and is completed with a white roof. The car has benefited from a lengthy restoration over many years with a large quantity of bills detailing restoration costs. This particular Mustang is a left hand drive example and has a desirable specification of automatic gearbox, power steering and power hood. The car comes with a large history file including an original Ford build sheet, Inspection report, Florida Title, old MoT's and a current MoT valid until September 2005. This iconic car is ready to be enjoyed and will provide its new owner with the ultimate sixties motoring experience.Cette voiture date de 1967, de couleur rouge et intrieur blanc, est prsente en trs bon tat Il sera fourni a l'acheteur un grand dossier d'entretien, 'titre' amricain et documents de circulation Britanniques.
