With the VIN (from the HOC website) you win: 7 for 1967 model year, T for Metuchen, NJ (Edison) assembly, 02 for Mustang Fastback, S for 390 V8 with four barrel, GT model, and the rest is the production sequence. The Metuchen, NJ plant (also called Edison Assembly) closed in 2004. We got the tag, we can brag: 63A for Mustang two door fastback with bucket seats, T for Red exterior paint, 2A for Black interior trim, 10B for Friday, February 10, 1967 production, 15 for Newark district, 1 for 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, non-locking, 5 for four speed manual transmission.
Yeah, nice red car, it was on my "short list" to buy in fall 1966, knowing, at 20 years old, I had about a year to enjoy it before getting drafted in the U.S. Army, for some "all-expenses paid travel", LOL, which happened in May 67. I opted for a Mercury Cyclone 390 GT instead. Since I had a job requiring 20 miles of L.A. freeway driving daily, there and back, and for the reason you said about the 'Stang's blind spots, I wanted good visibility. Otherwise, it was the same car inside the engine bay, as seen here, and bit more room inside it, and it had a console but an automatic, C-6, since it was to be a daily driver. Price was about the same, back then, $3400 base with about $4000 out the door, with options, and a monthly payment of about 120 bucks. Easy, since I lived at home at the time. And I got it, with a co-sign from dad, at the legendary dealership in Downey CA, Sachs and Sons Lincoln Mercury, which happened to be pretty near my job, as a draftsman, at Fluor Corp.!! Also, it had a nice big back seat for my girlfriend and I to get "more acquainted", and the huge trunk would have been popular with "the mob" back in the day, for 5 bodies,.. easily!! The car was sold by my dad while I was away for two years active duty, but I have another one today, a little different, but mostly the same nice car, ...that no one else has around me when I go to car shows. LOL ;D
One of my mothers girlfriends, aunt Marie, and her boyfriend showed up at our house with a brand new 1967 mustang GT with a 390 four speed! It was what they called midnight blue it was so dark of a blue it looked black! With a red interior! What a contrast! Dad warned me not to touch it! I remember the back seat being folded down! What a car!
I found an orange '67 fastback Mustang on a dealers backlot, presumably a trade-in. Someone removed the entire trunk floor pan and all that remained was the rear-mounted starting battery. I presumed because the engine bay was stuffed with a 390 and didn’t leave room for a battery. It had tube headers, an aluminum high rise intake, a Holley double-pumper carb, a Mallory dual-point distributor, A Hurst competition plus shifter, traction bars, and someone said the engine lobe indicated a race cam but I can’t say for sure. It didn’t matter if I followed the rules of the road or not, that orange ‘Stang was a cop magnet. But I couldn’t help but oblige whenever challenged. I won every race except one and that was against another ‘67 Mustang, but it was the smaller coupe. We were neck to neck until he started pulling away. I didn’t know the guy but we were both pulled over to receive our tickets and I was shocked to discover he had a smaller 289 hi-po with about the same mods my car had. Anyway, I nearly lost my license from so many tickets so I sold it.
@@johnpeters7316 Yes, when you see the old timers drilling holes in their cars and slapping on the fiberglass wherever they can, to save weight, you can see why a few hundred pounds in the block makes a huge difference!!
I’ve always had a soft spot for the 390 Mustang. I know, the 428 was better, but I had a 65 Thunderbird with a 390. Honey of an engine, and a real torque pump. Would have to be wild in a lighter car with a 4 speed.
I had this same type, model and color when in the 90s, back then she was ahead turner, the engine sounds was nasty, and mine had lifted rear and wider tires, looking like a drag set up
I'll never understand why shops upgrade the dash with aluminum inserts and not the doors. Also, leaving off the front and rear bumper guards? Not cool. Just my two cents.
Ford still called it a 2+2 in their literature, but did not mention it on the car's nomenclature. One of my friends in high school had a '67 coupe with the bench front seat! It was a 289 with a three speed manual!
Back in the day, we "kids" often opted for the bench seats in our cars, front, and, of course, back......for pretty obvious "practical reasons", if you had a girlfriend or two!! LOL ;D
LOL "lack of visibility" was NOT the reason these had as Elon would say RUDs back in the day. We'd lose guys every year to all brands of muscle - and I'm pretty sure it wasn't lack of visibility - lack of VISION maybe but not visibility. Anyway money talks BS walks - how much more is the fastback worth today over the sedan? 3x? 4x? 🎸
Yup, guys bought the fastbacks, the girls bought (or their daddies bought them) the rag tops and coupes. And no "real guy" ever wanted what a girl had then, be it cars or other "things", like they often do today. LOL. And few girls wrapped their hot cars around trees then, but lots of fastbacks, of every brand kind, died that way, along with their occupants!! Yes, and "investment quality" does have its specific parameters, for any commodity! LOL ;D
Very true about a time when guys didn't want what the girls had! I told my husband that I realized what I've always loved about classic muscle cars is the sheer masculinity of them. They are a man's car. And I actually feel more feminine just being near one or riding in one. My husband is muscle car shopping for his 50th birthday coming up. I lovethe idea that when I do drive it, it will just look like I'm driving my husband's car, not my car. 😄@@ronschlorff7089

The MOST BEAUTIFUL of ALL the old school Fastbacks!💯
Best description of a FB trunk I ever heard: "About the size of an LTD glovebox."

Beautiful car. Iconic
Somehow when I think of a 1967 Mustang fastback hauling sheets of plywood doesn't come to mind. LOL
Beautiful old Mustang
Great looking Mustang!
Love the gen 1 fastbacks!

Love the 390, she’s puffing a little

nice mustang
I could never understand why Shelby didn't leave the standard 67/68 rear end on his mustangs, these have to be the best asses on any mustang!

I have a ‘67 fastback GT 289 hipo and I concur, they can definitely take a big block by surprise

Richer for the experience...the stories you might not have come upon without that car. Worth a license.
I had the same thing, small block, 67 fast back gt, orange red, back lifted, wider tires
Magnificent.
I'm not a big Mustang fan. But this body style is pretty good. I also like the later Mach 1 style and the Mustang 2.
I lost my heart in this car ❤❤❤

Second on that. 390 is no slouch, I'd rather have the 390 versus the 428 in a '67 because it seems capable enough, and can be built up for more power.
I had this same type, model and color when in the 90s, back then she was ahead turner, the engine sounds was nasty, and mine had lifted rear and wider tires, looking like a drag set up
love u steve
I still believe the 390 was 1 of the better engines and performing for Ford.
I'll never understand why shops upgrade the dash with aluminum inserts and not the doors. Also, leaving off the front and rear bumper guards? Not cool. Just my two cents.
There is no mustang sedan,a sedan is a 4 door car with a trunk.you meant notch back mustang.
Blue smoke. 😆
You would still see lots of modern cars with high miles do that today, except all the smog equipment, and exhaust recirculation clears it up.
Ford still called it a 2+2 in their literature, but did not mention it on the car's nomenclature.

The FE is such a big, heavy lump of cast iron. This car is a beauty, though.
🥝✔️
There is no downside to owning and driving a 65-70 Mustang fastback! Learn to drive! Turn your head! You can see out back!
Really? I don't think anybody would put a piece of plywood in a cool car like that.
