This 1967 Ford Mustang is a running, driving project. It retains the original character and a strong V8. It uses an automatic transmission and factory power-assisted steering. It starts promptly and settles into a steady idle. It suits an enthusiast seeking a sound base for light restoration.
Engine and driveline
The V8 runs smoothly and revs cleanly without harsh noises. Hot and cold starts are consistent. The automatic gearbox engages without delay. It then pulls away cleanly and shifts through the range as expected. There are no observed fluid leaks from oil, coolant, or brakes during our checks. The engine bay remains largely original and serviceable. New rocker covers and cosmetic detailing would elevate presentation.
Steering and suspension
Assistance operates correctly with even effort lock to lock. The car tracks straight and shows no suspension squeaks on the road. Bushings and joints feel serviceable for regular use. Ride quality matches period expectations for a 1960s pony car.
Braking system
Pedal travel is consistent and inspires confidence. The car stops in a straight line with no pull. No brake fluid leaks were noted at inspection.
Body and paint
The blue exterior paint has faded and shows age. Nevertheless, the panels appear straight with uniform gaps. We see no signs of structural rust or patch repairs in typical areas. A professional repaint would greatly improve appearance. The body offers a solid foundation for refinishing.
Underside and structure
The floors, frame rails, and torque boxes present well. We saw no visible corrosion or perforation underneath. Fasteners and hardware look intact and serviceable.
Interior
The cabin has a new carpet set and refreshed interior paint. The dash pad remains in excellent condition with no splits. The steering wheel would benefit from refurbishment or replacement. Switchgear and gauges appear complete and usable.
Electrical and fluids
Charging and starting functions operate as expected. Lighting and basic electrics function during our tests. No water, oil, or brake fluid leaks were found at the time of inspection.
Why it is a project
Cosmetic age is the primary factor. The exterior needs refinishing to match the healthy mechanical state. Light engine bay detailing would also help presentation. With paint and minor trim work, the car would present strongly as a classic American muscle car.
This is a sound, drivable 1967 model with a smooth V8, automatic gearbox, and power-assisted steering. It stops, steers, and rides as intended for the period. The structure looks solid, and the underside shows no visible rust. The interior is tidy with a few items to improve. Overall, it is a well-sorted mechanical base that mainly needs paint and minor cosmetic work to complete.
The car comes fully registered with a UK V5C document.
