A rust-free California car with 21 years of single ownership, it blends serious power with quality suspension. It is on Bring a Trailer at $5,200 with five days to go, so the bidding is just getting started.1967 Ford Mustang Bring a trailerWhat it's worth right nowRestomod Mustang coupes span a broad, build-dependent market. According to Classics on Autotrader and current listings, driver-quality restomod coupes generally trade from around $25,000 into the $50,000s, with the more coveted fastback restomods commanding considerably more.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis car's strong engine build, quality suspension, and rust-free provenance are genuine pluses. The coupe body, aging paint, and the personalized choices detailed below place it in the middle of that range rather than the top.1967 Ford Mustang Bring a TrailerWeighing the build quality against those points, fair value realistically lands in the $25,000 to $40,000 range, most likely the high $20,000s to mid $30,000s. At $5,200 with five days remaining, the bidding should climb into that band.Condition and detailsThe car is a well-sorted, thoroughly built driver. The 351-based V8 was stroked to 418 cubic inches with a SCAT rotating assembly, a Crower roller valvetrain, Holley/Brodix heads, and a dual-quad Edelbrock Air Gap intake, backed by a rebuilt AOD automatic and a Currie 9-inch rear with a 3.55 limited-slip. A Ron Morris tubular front suspension, adjustable dampers, SSBC front discs, and Grab-A-Trak rear springs modernize the chassis, and the engine bay presentation drew praise in the comments. The seller has driven it 8,800 miles since completing the build.1967 Ford Mustang Bring a TrailerA few points deserve attention. The build includes personalized choices, refinished in Mopar Plum Crazy with Pony-motif upholstery and other custom touches, that commenters noted are subjective, so some buyers will want to change items like the paint color, which narrows the buyer pool. The paint was applied about 20 years ago and has age- and use-commensurate flaws, so this is a driver-quality finish rather than a fresh respray. The air conditioning system is also noted as not complete.1967 Ford MustangBring a TrailerTwo more notes: the 418 is a stroker build rather than an original or numbers-matching engine, so value it as a driver restomod, and no dyno sheet is provided, with the seller, an engine builder, estimating roughly one horsepower per cubic inch and big torque from the long stroke. On the plus side, it is a genuinely rust-free California car bought new in Bakersfield, with build records included, and a pre-purchase inspection rounds it out.1967 Ford Mustang Bring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeFordModelMustangYear1967Mileage9,000 miles on the buildEngine418ci stroker V8PowerNot specified by the sellerTransmission4-speed automaticDrive typeRear wheel drive with limited-slip differentialExterior colorPlum CrazyInterior colorBlack Pony upholsteryCurrent bid$5,200, with five days leftInterested in this 1967 Ford Mustang? View the listing here.What makes this Mustang uniqueThe 1967 Mustang was the first significant redesign of Ford's pony car, growing slightly larger and more aggressive while retaining the classic proportions that made the original a sensation. The hardtop coupe was by far the most-produced body style, which makes it an ideal and affordable canvas for a restomod build, and this car takes full advantage. Rather than chasing originality, its owner spent a decade turning it into a personal vision, combining a torque-rich big-inch stroker with modern tubular suspension, disc brakes, and a stout 9-inch rear to create a classic that drives far better than it did when new.1967 Ford Mustang Bring a TrailerThat blend of vintage looks and thoroughly upgraded, usable performance is the appeal of a well-built restomod. This one carries the added reassurance of a rust-free California shell and long-term single ownership, the kind of foundation that makes a modified classic worth building on.My takeThere is a lot to like here for the right buyer. A rust-free 1967 Mustang with a serious 418 stroker, quality Ron Morris suspension, a 9-inch rear, and a genuinely lovely engine bay is a characterful, usable driver, and the fact that its owner built and enjoyed it over 21 years speaks to how it has been cared for. As one commenter put it, the personalized choices are part of what keeps this hobby interesting.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits in the $25,000 to $40,000 range, with the coupe body and driver-grade paint keeping it out of fastback-restomod territory. Go in understanding it: the build reflects personal taste, so budget for any changes you would want, the 20-year-old paint has flaws, the AC is incomplete, and the power is estimated rather than dyno-proven. Sort those with an inspection, and you have a rust-free, big-power classic Mustang ready to drive and enjoy.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
