VEHICLE HISTORY
The history of this Mustang is well documented by its Deluxe Marti Report.
It was built at Ford's San Jose plant on 10th July 1967 and sold new on 25th August of the same year by Kinsel Ford Inc. in Beaumont, Texas.
One of the features that attracted me most to this particular car is its specification: Sports Sprint package, original Burnt Amber paintwork and Saddle interior. The Burnt Amber changes considerably according to the light and gives the car a distinctive and elegant character.
My reason for buying this Mustang, however, was mainly personal.
I also own a current-generation Mustang and wanted to place beside it what I like to call its "Mother": a first-generation Mustang representing the origins of a model that became an icon of American motoring.
I was not simply looking for any 1967 Mustang. I wanted a car that could be brought to the best condition possible, restored with great attention to detail whilst remaining a classic that could genuinely be driven and enjoyed.
For this reason, an extensive restoration project was undertaken by specialists in classic American cars, with photographs and invoices retained to document the work.
What I appreciate most about this Mustang is the final result: the character and atmosphere of an authentic 1967 American automobile combined with mechanical improvements intended to make it a car that can truly be used and enjoyed.
For me, it has never been simply a classic car to own. It was a way of placing beside my modern Mustang the car from which it all began.
I am now looking for a new owner who will appreciate its history, restoration and driving pleasure in the same way.
