New Zealanders Show Ford Mustang Mechanical Frankenstein

New Zealanders Show Ford Mustang Mechanical Frankenstein

The 1967 Ford Mustang is one of the most popular model of cars ever produced. The first Mustang was built in 1964 and by '67 it was already an American icon that would persist in the minds of muscle car enthusiasts for years to come. Today these cars are very popular among collectors and those who like to restore older cars. Other competitors would show up to compete with the 'Stang in the late 1960's including the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Thunderbird. Fords original version of the pony car has always remained the most popular throughout its long decades of production.

The now-legendary 1967 redesign was the answer to that challenge. While the buying public was not completely enamored, it still sold well. Ford sold 325,853 units of the standard coupe, which they had priced at $2,461. In comparison, Ford sold only 53,651 units of the 1967 Mustang fastback for sale at $2,692. It is quite amazing how few of these units sold back then in comparison to how popular they are today. Of course, $200 in 1966 was more like $2000 from our perspective.
