The Appeal
The first generations of Mustang remain particularly sought-after, and this 1967 brings together many of the characteristics appreciated by collectors.
This Notchback Coupé is equipped with the 289 cubic inch V8 paired with a dual-carburettor configuration, a particularly interesting combination in the first-generation Mustang range. Its green-on-green presentation should appeal to authenticity enthusiasts: the example has retained a configuration close to the original, without excessive restoration or modification, and displays a lovely patina today. It also stands out for several rare period options, notably its chrome wheels and its back-lit grille badge.
Imported from California approximately three years ago, this Mustang benefits from the sought-after provenance of an automobile that lived in a state with a particularly favourable climate for the preservation of classic vehicles. Since its arrival in France, it has benefited from significant mechanical attention. A Marti report accompanies the car, along with a file comprising invoices and various historical documents.
The seller describes the car as being in very good overall condition and particularly sound. It is now registered in France with a classic car registration document, with matching serial numbers confirmed. Its MOT is valid until August 2031.19a189b0-e7d7-41fa-9538-80ea28ea1e3e.jpg428.14 KB

This 1967 Mustang 289 Notchback presents a particularly interesting profile for the first-generation Mustang enthusiast seeking an authentic example rather than a spectacular restoration.
Its Californian provenance, its green-on-green configuration, its uncommon period options and its deliberately preserved presentation give it a personality all of its own. The Marti report and documentary file also provide an interesting foundation for tracing its history.
A few signs of use and imperfections are to be noted, particularly regarding the upholstery, steering and certain suspension elements, but the overall package is described as sound and has benefited from significant mechanical attention since its arrival in France.
