The Appeal
The 1967 Ford Mustang Coupe C-Code is an iconic American classic that perfectly blends timeless styling with dependable V8 performance. Powered by the renowned 351w engine (5.8l v8) engine, it delivers the unmistakable sound and character that made the Mustang a legend. Its sleek fastback-inspired lines, chrome detailing, and unmistakable presence ensure it stands out wherever it goes.
This San Jose-built example spent its life in California and wears an honest patina along with a collection of period stickers that lend it genuine character, offering the next owner a choice: polish it up and preserve the look, or embark on a repaint. Mechanically, it reportedly runs and drives, though the vendor notes it needs tuning and finishing to run smoothly. The interior is serviceable but calls for attention, as outlined in The Detail section below. The vendor describes this as a medium-level project well suited to a home garage.
