My dad owned a '67 Mustang in his youth until he crashed it into a tree racing down the street against a Camaro. All that was left was his ash tray and gas cap, he now has them in display cases. P.S. He won the race.
+Hank Hill I remember my Dad and uncles saying the exact same thing about cars in the 60s and 70s; "They don't make them like they used to" and "Look at all that cheap plastic." It's funny. I grew up driving those 60s and 70s cars and I think modern cars are way, way, better and way cooler. It's all what you like I guess. I think the level of comfort, precision, and quality is immensely better in new cars. Plastic, that cheap, brittle, easy to crack, cost saving material, sure has come a long way since 1967. While this review brings back fond memories, I'm keeping my BRZ, thanks (talk about acres of cheap plastic...)
Alan Antill It really has. It's just that 1990's GM plastic that has tainted the rep of plastic. It's no that they were bad cars either, it was just chitsy things like flimsy turn-signal stalks that just make you go "really?" when you touch them.
The classic car scene is alive and better then ever! I've been around it my whole life, since my granddad builds classics (we're currently building a 1937 Ford Coupe) and being around these old cars and trucks, is what really gets me going. Now that I'm building me a classic (1974 Ford F100 RANGER XLT) just really puts everything into perspective! Great video, and be sure to do more of them!
I love the vintage car reviews! Most people just show an old car's exhaust note and it driving from an outside view, but these high quality, in depth reviews like this are wonderful! I would love to see old reviews as much as the new stuff. I also think it would be really neat if you did more cars from the 80's, such as Foxbody cars, and an IROC Camaro.
you really did this car justice with that intro and that awesome review. the 67' is my absolute dream car but in a manual. i would take this over a Bugatti or a lambo. i just cant get over it. and i need it. one day ill own this.
Matt, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a couple months. I really really enjoy your reviews, because you step away from technical data of a car 🚗. While the numbers do play a roll that is where it starts. You critique a car as “it’s a blast 💥 to drive “. Your enthusiasm towards driving is refreshing. Keep it up 👍
Great review I was born in 1967 my father brought home a dark green 1967 mustang 289 3 speed manual integrated turn signals in the hood I learned how to drive in this car many great memories I was all smiled watching this video
It's a good thing the brakes are touchy and the steering is imprecise it means you get to know the car better and can really appreciate how much more control you have
Keep doing the vintage reviews. It's fascinating. I believe there are intangible characteristics in the driving experience of the vintage cars, that if somehow could be identified and replicated, would make for some very awesome modern cars.
A few things from a 67 mustang owner I have had mine for 18 years. The one your driving needs the steering box adjusted to tighten up the steering they don't handle like a new car but it looked a little excessive in the video it probably needs the rest of the front suspension checked over it doesn't take a large amount of play in a suspension component to cause a lot of play in the steering wheel. The one in the video looks to be the base 289 "c" code with 200 ish hp. there were 3 options for the 289 in 67 it was not the compression ration. the c code was the base 289 it had a 2 barrel carb, The A code had a 4 barrel carb, and the K code! Its also had a 4 barrel carb and a solid lifter cam, dual exhaust and a few other diffrences and made 271hp this was what the Shelby gt 350s were built from. I will say a set of real end gears really wake them up with the 3 speed auto they geared them for hwy fuel economy It probably has a 3.00 gear or worse! But they can cruse all day at 75-80mph I have the factory power steering on mine and I added power brakes and disk brakes and I used factory parts not one of the cheap china made kits on the market and it made it much nicer to drive! And after almost 20 years of owner ship I still love it! Not the fastest muscle car from the 60s but Its still fun to drive! The more crap that comes on new cars the more I appreciate the simplicity of my mustang! It doest beep or bong at me. It doesn't tell me to put my seatbelt on it never has a check engine light on and it has been very reliable! If it has a hot battery and fuel in the carb it will start and run! It sat for 8 months one time I put a new battery in it pored fuel in the carb and it started the first kick of the switch like it was running all day!
Happy that you can appreciate this car. You actually drove😊. Can you imagine texting, dialing, whatever while driving this? My sis' had one and I cried when she sold it. I'll be 55 next week.
Dude, I reviewed a 1973 Corvette with a 392 in it. Classic car reviews > new car reviews IMHO. Old cars have soul, new cars? They have a young soul that needs the test of time to decided if they are truly unique or iconic. Thanks for sharing this, and I hope you get your hands on more classics!
Makin Bacon I am not so sure... Look at the supra, plastic fantastic bumpers and interior, and still looking spiffy. And they are nearing 25 years old too! Crazy! But there is one thing every old car needs. Aftermarket support. I think vettes will always have that, same for mustangs and camaros.
My first car in 1986 was a 1965 Buick Skylark with the 355 "Wildcat" v8 (300 cid) - cars definitely were different back then and it's really easy to forget (or perhaps never know/understand) that driving was way more dangerous and much much more involved. I laugh every time someone who's never owned a vintage car seems to think it would be great and nostalgic - that nostalgia wears off quickly the first hot day in that vinyl interior or when trying to start the car in a 10 degree morning and they flood the engine ;-) Would be nice to have an old car for cruising around in but not as a daily driver. Great review as always!
My old man has an 83 Chevy Silverado. Obviously not as aged but still old enough to know what you mean by the needed steering input in order to keep it straight. Needless to say, it is a little intimidating to drive just because of it's sheer size alone. Loved this review Matt. At car shows, I'm always with the classics a little longer than any others on display. I hope you get access to more classics in the future man because you seem most at peace behind the wheel of one. And I enjoy seeing that. Good job man!
Thanks for doing the review. We have a 1966 that is set up the same way - red out, black in, 289 auto, stock except for radials. It is a step back in time but there is nothing like it.
Easy way to find how much horsepower the engine has is by checking the vin. If the 5th letter is a c it's a 289 2barrel(200hp), an A is 289 4V(220hp) and lastly a K 2894v HiPo(271hp).
Well this was a pleasant surprise when I saw the thumbnail, wasn't expecting it! Try and review more classics if you can, they are awesome and it will help bring a wider audience to your channel! Keep at it :)
Great review. When you think about it, all a guy 'needs' in a car besides speed and style, are heat and air. Those classic Mustangs (and many other vintage cars) have all of that, and a body shape that will never ever go out of style throughout all the up & down trends.
The HP for that particular 289 is 225 HP. I know because I owned one. Also, if the steering wheel feels imprecise you'd better check the front end. And the alignment too. There's something wrong. It did not happen in my Mustang.
25 years old. Bought my first classic car a few weeks ago for 8 grand! Absolute steal for the condition it was in. All body work done, just needs paint. It also came with a 289 hipo!!!!
Definitely having fun in there, and looking great too. The 289 has a great reputation from so much I've read and heard, similar to the timeless small block Chevy V8.
Nice review...I got to drive my buddy's 1968 fastback Mustang, his brakes were horrible and took forever to stop, he also had the factory drums so maybe the owner of this car upgraded the brakes.
The Steering Reminds me of my Dad Classic 1978 FORD F100 RANGER SHORT BOX HAD A 6.6 ENGINE BUT REPLACED IT WITH A 5.0 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. STILL RUNS GREAT LOVE IT!!!!!! Never Will Sell This Truck It Brings Great Memories.
hey Matt! I've been watching your channel for a very long time and I love how you really go in depth on your car reviews keep up the great work! your fan, Lucas
I enjoy the fact that you took into consideration that it's a 50 year old car, that it's not going to have any modern feels so good job on that and also like the fact that you seem so excited to be in that car, and rightfully so it's a great piece of history!
I have a 1965 Mustang as my daily driver. I love it, especially because maintenance and repairs are so easy. I have the 200 c.i. 6 cylinder engine. The car feels very light and nimble.
Had one just like it same color, just white interior and had the scoops on the hood with the blinkers. Just as nice as that one. Back in 83 When I got to Woodbridge Va. I bought it. I was 18. Right after I got a job at Cope Ford dealership, detailing cars. Would pull it in the bay on Friday and detail it for the weekend. Was digging around in the glovebox and found the original sales slip on it. Was bought at that dealership in 67 by Hertz rental. Showed it to the owner and everyone and they had a fit. Let me park it up front anytime I wanted to. Was always fun pulling one of the fox body GT's around back to detail it. Trust me when I say, the customer always got a taste of what their car would do lol. Never really got in trouble for it ether. they all must have liked it. Good times. Wish I still had it.
I owned basically this exact car (except with the center console) from 1990 to 2010, daily driver except for weekends. If you think the braking is tough, wait until you hit a puddle and have to guess which drum was going to slip. 10 years later and I still don't follow very close and brake way earlier than I need to in a modern car. I have a tough time being a passenger with other drivers as a result, lol. But I am making the car sound bad; I would still have it, but it was becoming a money pit approaching 200k miles and the engine didn't have another rebuild left in it. Still sold it for a little more than I originally paid. Miss that car though...
Great video, Matt!! You should definitely do more vintage car reviews if possible since this kind of cars are an important part of the car culture... I'd love to see a nice 50s T-Bird and things like that!!
On my fathers 70 Mach 1 the original and period correct "power steering" is over-bosted too. Very hard to drive straight but my father told me to hold the wheel with one hand only and I got to say it works wonders. I guess back in the day everybody needed a free hand for a square so the engineers designed accordingly.
You have to understand that Steve McQueen and the others who raced these vehicles back in the 60's had two advantages you don't. First, the 'Stangs they drove were not 50 years old. Second, they undoubtedly had been gone over and equipped with custom handling packages to accommodate the rigors of the shoot. Now I would agree that even the most beefed up, Hollywood approved front end work probably could touch a modern suspension that you've had the benefit of having, but neither did any of the other vehicles on the road of that early muscle car era. Your reaction to your first five minutes in the saddle reminded me of a city boy's first field trip to a farm. Plenty of enthusiasm yet leery of his surroundings. You handled like a champ, though, and all in all it was a pretty solid review of an important piece of automotive Americana.
I learned to drive on a 1968 GMC pickup. Same deal with really loose steering and crappy breaks (the steering I'll excuse as character thing, the breaks are just crappy lol). The clutch was unbelievably stiff and finicky too. Great review! I really enjoy your channel and I share your passion for the greatest pony car ever made.
My brother owned a 66 and drove it all through college in the late 70's. He was a 6'6" 260 lb football player and it was still comfortable for him to drive. I drove it several times, it was actually a fun little car.
I had a 66 with 3 speed manual and 6 cyl engine from 1971 to 73. Bought it for $600, sold it for $600. Drove it for 10,000 miles. Had about 70,000 miles on it when sold. It did not wander. Any car made before good 3-point seat belts and airbags should be driven very carefully. The worse cheap feature about the early Mustangs was the non-latching seats. Death or serious injury in even low speed crash. I've had lots of non-safety era cars and now the thought of going very far or fast in one is not appealing. I love my 2011 and 2019 Mustangs and like to see the oldies at car shows, but glad to have a modern safe car with much lower emissions and much better mpg. Matt you are rather hilarious in this video. Those of us that grew up with these older cars are entertained by your wonderment of things we took for granted.

And you push the throttle down fully and release to set the choke. For cold starts

Keep doing the vintage reviews. It's fascinating. I believe there are intangible characteristics in the driving experience of the vintage cars, that if somehow could be identified and replicated, would make for some very awesome modern cars.

67' really is a beaut. Good review per usual Matt!
Great video, Matt!! You should definitely do more vintage car reviews if possible since this kind of cars are an important part of the car culture... I'd love to see a nice 50s T-Bird and things like that!!
Because its 48 years old! Love it!!!
On my fathers 70 Mach 1 the original and period correct "power steering" is over-bosted too. Very hard to drive straight but my father told me to hold the wheel with one hand only and I got to say it works wonders. I guess back in the day everybody needed a free hand for a square so the engineers designed accordingly.
Really nice! I would like to see more classic old school car reviews please!!
You have to understand that Steve McQueen and the others who raced these vehicles back in the 60's had two advantages you don't. First, the 'Stangs they drove were not 50 years old. Second, they undoubtedly had been gone over and equipped with custom handling packages to accommodate the rigors of the shoot. Now I would agree that even the most beefed up, Hollywood approved front end work probably could touch a modern suspension that you've had the benefit of having, but neither did any of the other vehicles on the road of that early muscle car era.
Your reaction to your first five minutes in the saddle reminded me of a city boy's first field trip to a farm. Plenty of enthusiasm yet leery of his surroundings. You handled like a champ, though, and all in all it was a pretty solid review of an important piece of automotive Americana.
I learned to drive on a 1968 GMC pickup. Same deal with really loose steering and crappy breaks (the steering I'll excuse as character thing, the breaks are just crappy lol). The clutch was unbelievably stiff and finicky too.
Great review! I really enjoy your channel and I share your passion for the greatest pony car ever made.
Really enjoyed this Matt
Review a 1986/1987 Grand National. I'm sure many car enthusiasts such as myself would be eager to watch it.
My brother owned a 66 and drove it all through college in the late 70's. He was a 6'6" 260 lb football player and it was still comfortable for him to drive. I drove it several times, it was actually a fun little car.
I really enjoyed how happy you were while reviewing this car. Yet, again another great video Matt! :) you should review the newer scion tc's.
im 17 and im getting an old mustang to fix up with my dad. love the vids man
Can tell from the profile pic you guys nailed it
I had a 66 with 3 speed manual and 6 cyl engine from 1971 to 73. Bought it for $600, sold it for $600. Drove it for 10,000 miles. Had about 70,000 miles on it when sold. It did not wander. Any car made before good 3-point seat belts and airbags should be driven very carefully. The worse cheap feature about the early Mustangs was the non-latching seats. Death or serious injury in even low speed crash. I've had lots of non-safety era cars and now the thought of going very far or fast in one is not appealing. I love my 2011 and 2019 Mustangs and like to see the oldies at car shows, but glad to have a modern safe car with much lower emissions and much better mpg. Matt you are rather hilarious in this video. Those of us that grew up with these older cars are entertained by your wonderment of things we took for granted.
Great review, I love classic Mustangs.
My dad had one of these when I was a kid. It was the bronco blue with 2 white stripes down the middle. Had a 302 crank in it.
This car was back in the time you really had input to the car. You had to check fluids and tire pressure yourself. And you worked on it. Love old iron
I'm glad I learned to drive in a '69 Mercury Station Wagon. What a boat that was! :)
I really like the intro music of this video, it fits perfectly to the classic car
Would love to see some more classic reviews! So cool!
This is a wonderful review. Really nice. Thanks for all the great vids.
