Mustang Fastback

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.

So few units sold originally has made them increasingly rare as we near the 50-year mark since their inception. That rareness fuels part of our collective love for the 1967 Mustang fastback, but there is more to it than that. There is also the obvious sex appeal of the 2+2 fastback configuration, but there is also an indefinable component of that appeal. The fastback is simply exciting, and it's hard from the modern perspective to understand why the consumer in 1966 didn't entirely agree.

The enthusiast in the market for a restorable 1967 Mustang fastback for sale should know that they have quite the hunt on their hands. They're not nearly as easily to find as the standard 1967 Mustang coupe is. The easiest way to find a 1967 Mustang fastback for sale is to go to an auction house, but in that case, you're buying a fully restored car, and one had better be prepared to throw down a sizable five-digit chunk in order to acquire one in this manner.

For the rest of us, our best bet is to find one of "junkyard caliber", and make restoring it to its former glory a long-term project. This is where we're supposed to warn you that like all muscle cars, a 1967 Mustang is prone to rust. Generally, when shopping a classic you want to inspect all of the known problem areas in order to avoid a car that requires bodywork beyond your skill set.

However, that's not practical advice concerning a 1967 Mustang fastback for sale. If you want one, and you have the opportunity to buy one at a price you can afford, then go for it. Nevertheless, one should know going in that there's going to be a great deal of heavy-duty bodywork involved in the restoral process of any '67 Mustang Fastback.
