Mustang Fastback GT

The Shape That Defined a Generation

Ask someone to picture a classic Mustang, and they’ll probably imagine a ‘67-‘68 fastback. The swept roofline, the muscular fender bulges, the aggressive stance - this is the design that Steve McQueen made iconic in Bullitt. Ford’s designers achieved something remarkable: a car that looked fast standing still.

The 1967 model year marked the first major redesign of the Mustang. It was longer, wider, and more aggressive than the original ‘64½. Yet it retained the essential character that made the Mustang a phenomenon. This was the year they got it exactly right.

Why the Fastback?

Ford offered the Mustang in three body styles: hardtop, convertible, and fastback. The fastback was always the sportiest choice - lighter than it looked thanks to that sloping rear glass, and aerodynamically superior for the high-speed runs that were becoming popular.

The “2+2” (as Ford called it) became the platform of choice for racing applications. From Trans-Am to drag strips to movies, the fastback Mustang earned its reputation where it mattered.

The A-Code 289

Under the hood sits the A-Code 289 - Ford’s legendary small-block producing 225 horsepower. This was the sweet spot of the ‘67 Mustang lineup: enough power to be genuinely quick without the insurance-killing big-block ratings. The 289 is also one of Ford’s most reliable and easy-to-maintain engines, making it a practical choice for regular enjoyment.

Paired with the 4-speed manual, this is a car that rewards spirited driving. The shifter falls naturally to hand, the clutch is progressive, and the engine loves to rev.

About This Car

Originally sold at a Ford dealership in Minneapolis, this Mustang has spent its entire life in the upper Midwest. It comes with its original broadcast sheet - the paper manifest from the factory that details exactly how the car was built - plus a comprehensive Marti Report documenting its specifications.

The Acapulco Blue paint is a high-quality respray from approximately 2015 over a rust-free body. The black deluxe interior is largely original and presents beautifully. Recent maintenance includes a complete tune-up, rebuilt carburetor, and fresh fluids throughout.

The Mustang Legacy

When Ford introduced the Mustang in April 1964, they expected to sell 100,000 units in the first year. They sold 22,000 on the first day. The Mustang created an entirely new market segment - the “pony car” - and spawned imitators from every American manufacturer.

The ‘67 fastback represents the Mustang at its most refined. The first-generation was still young enough to be exciting, but mature enough to have worked out the kinks. This is the Mustang that people remember.
