For fans of the Mustang, the late 60s cars are prime examples of the breed. Facelifted in 1967, many key styling features (such as the concave rear lights and side vents) were added at this time. Later generations got bigger, heavier and slower, so the facelifted first generation cars really are the ones to have.
This lovely example is a 1967 Hardtop model (also known as the “notchback”). With a meaty 4.7-litre V8 under the hood and finished in the classic green-over-tan colour scheme, it makes for a desirable and collectible vehicle – and a great way to get into classic American car ownership.
This facelifted first generation Mustang offered more interior space and a higher specification over the original model. It shows too, you can easily accommodate four adults in comfort in this cabin. The seats are wide and comfortable, and there’s plenty of light thanks to a generous glass area.
At some point, the seats have been retrimmed in fresh tan vinyl. As such, they present very well, with minor wear from use, but no damage or tears that we could discern. Both the front and rear seats feature vintage style lap-belts.
Looking at the dashboard, it presents nicely, with a good level of natural patina to the controls and instruments. The stainless brightwork is all intact and present, being in good condition. Likewise the door cards and door furniture all look well, with no notable damage or significant wear. There are minor blemishes and scuffs, as you’d expect from a vehicle of this age, but nothing that would cause us any concern. We’re assured by the owner that all the controls and cabin features operate as they should.
The headlining appears to be the original cream vinyl item. It is intact and free from significant stains and damage, neither is it showing signs of sagging. It does have a small tear in the rear compartment that appears to be a couple of inches long, but this should be relatively easy to have rectified.
Running through the cabin is a dark brown carpet with tan coloured over-mats front and back. The front mats bear the Mustang logo and are in more than reasonable condition.
While not as popular as the Fastback shape made famous by Bullitt, we really like the 3-box design of the hardtop. It’s a more subtle and understated car – if a 4.7-litre V8 muscle car can ever be considered subtle.
The owner believes that the car has been restored and resprayed at some point, but has no paperwork to confirm this. It is currently wearing the classic Bullitt colour scheme of Highland Green Metallic though. It’s a lovely colour and suits the car well. Here it presents well, with a few minor blemishes and a couple of small areas of bubbling, but otherwise it appears to be in fine condition. All of the panels and trim looks straight and true, with no obvious signs of damage or corrosion. The Californian weather seems to have preserved this old Pony Car remarkably well.
With nice quality stainless brightwork and badging, all of which is complete and looks very well, this Mustang is a very handsome vehicle. It’s helped in no small degree by the original American Racing Torq-Thrust D wheels. These 5-spoke 15” alloys are finished with black centres and polished lips, and wrapped in good quality Toyo tyres with plenty of tread. The wheels are in very good condition, with no evidence of kerb damage or lacquer peel.
Like the main bodywork, the sills and valances look to be in good order. The rest of the underside is likewise straight and solid, with evidence of the usual surface corrosion on a number of components, but nothing that we would consider out of the ordinary or worrisome.
Overall, it presents as a well-kept, solid and very usable classic muscle car.
With what is, by European standards, a mighty 4.7-litre V8 pushing 200 bhp to the rear wheels, this pretty classic has plenty of go and noise to back up its looks. With a surprisingly light weight of just over 1,300Kg, that power goes a long way too, offering good performance even with this ‘small block’ engine.
The owner has no paperwork to confirm works that have been undertaken prior to their ownership, but from what we have seen it would appear that a number of engine components have been replaced at some point. The air cleaner, expansion bottles and various hoses, pipes and ancillaries all appear to have been refreshed.
Overall the engine bay looks very clean and tidy, with no evidence we saw of leaks, heating problems or any other issues. In fact, the owner assures us that the car drives very well, accelerating, braking and handling as would be expected, with no mechanical complications.
It’s difficult not to love a first generation Mustang. They’re burnt into our consciousness as the epitome of the American muscle car.
This 1967 facelift Hardtop is a great way to be introduced to the breed too – that small black V8 is an excellent engine, and when twinned with the elegant Hardtop styling and that Highland Green Metallic finish, makes a compelling case for itself.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.

Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
