Glorious Red-On-Red 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback for Sale: 44,000 Miles Shown, Wraps Code 289 V8, Jalopnik

A preserved Mustang example

The original Ford Mustang became a symbol of American individuality and freedom. It drew 22,000 orders on the day it debuted at the 1964 World's Fair, according to the story.

This 1967 fastback, listed on Bring A Trailer, has remained in one family. It was shown on the International Show Car Association circuit in the late 1990s.

Factory V8 and low mileage

The Mustang is powered by a factory A-code 289-cubic-inch V8. It has traveled just under 44,000 miles in nearly 60 years since leaving Ford's production facility in May 1967.

The car originally wore Vintage Burgundy paint. The listing says it was repainted in the same color in 1982, while undercarriage photos show its well-preserved condition.

Red cabin and recent work

Its interior has red “luxury” vinyl upholstery, burgundy carpets, a red dashboard and red door cards, with chrome-and-satin metal details. The 289 Challenger Special V8 uses a four-barrel carburetor. The listing says the carburetor was replaced in 2024, along with the fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel pump.

Automatic transmission trade-off

The car has a three-speed automatic transmission, which the story identifies as its main drawback. It is neither a big-block nor a K-code Mustang. The writer characterizes the fastback as a stylish cruiser rather than a drag-strip performer, and describes it as a piece of American automotive history.
