1967 Ford Mustang

  1967 Ford Mustang

Now, the Mustang had something it hadn't had before, serious competition.  Chevrolet was now marketing the Camaro, Pontiac was marketing the Firebird, and Plymouth had redesigned the Barracuda into a more “serious” machine.  Even Ford’s own  Mercury was now selling the Cougar. 

Ford responded by remodeling the Mustang to a larger, stronger looking machine.  The total length was 2 inches longer, the grille was larger, the simulated air-scoops were deeper and the tail lights were larger.  The seats were more comfortable and the instrumentation was easier to read.

 The standard power plant was now the 200-cubic-inch six making 120 horsepower with a 250-cubic-inch (4.1-liter) 155-horsepower six and the 200-, 225- and 271-horsepower K-code 289 V8s optional. New on the menu was a 390-cubic-inch (6.4-liter) "big-block" V8 breathing through a Holley four-barrel carburetor making 315 horsepower. Accommodating that wider engine meant that the front suspension's track needed to be widened by 2.5 inches for clearance.

Ford sold 356,271 coupes, 71,042 2+2s and 44,808 convertibles during 1967 despite the new competition.  Of those cars sold, only 472 cars were equipped with the 271-horsepower 289, while around 28,800 had the 390 under their hoods.
