What Do Yall Think

[coupe67]

What do yall think? i paid $1300. It is a 1967 mustang coupe. I have to replace the driver door, trunk lid, and rear valance panel. The white you see is the original paint. The person i bought it froms brother in law took it into the garage and spray painted it primer grey and put primer red flames.

That rear valence is a beyotch to replace.... As long as the floor pans and engine bay/cowl are rust free you are ok.

 

[coupe67]

no actually i found the valance panel easily. The hard part was finding out what it was called.

I say cool that you now have a mustang.
Good luck fixing her up.
I am in the middle of restoring my 67 coupe.
However, isn't that a 1968 mustang?
It has the rear reflector, and side running lights up front.

Yep, it looks like a '68 to me.

 

[coupe67]

the guy i bought it from said it was a 67. I get the title 2day so i guess i will find out.

Definitely a 68. No dual louvers at the doors, and has the marker lights. Also the seat back adjuster is a dead give away for not a 67 if they are original to the car.

 

[coupe67]

yall are right. it is a 68. does this men anything different? are there things that i could do with the 67 that i cant with the 68?

 

[Rusty67]

The 67/68 are the same car with cosmetic differences. The only thing I can think of that a 68 has that a 67 doesn't is the collapsable steering column instead of the, as others here have called it, "the spear-o-matic" steering column. People tend to "upgrade" to the safer 68 column if they get a 67. The thing I like about the 67 is the deluxe interior. IMO its way sweeter then the 68. If you are restoring it, you can put what ever you want into it.

looks like you got lied to

Doubt it, look at that rattle can job on the car. They were provably too stupid to know the difference.

In a good way. Although they are the same shell, there were safety upgrades (including the spear-o-matic) to the 68, and I think the badging and seat design is somewhat cleaner looking than the 67. And the hood turn signals (which some 67's had too) are pretty cool.


That and I had an ex that drove a 67 . I drive a 68.
