AutoHunter Spotlight: 1967 Ford Mustang GTA 2+2

Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this restored 1967 Ford Mustang GTA 2+2. It is powered by a 320-horsepower 390cid V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include power steering and brakes, GT Equipment Group (when, combined with the automatic, created the GTA), folding rear seat, and center console. Finished in Candyapple Red over a black vinyl interior, this Mustang comes with a Marti Report and a clear title.

Nineteen sixty-seven was a big year for the Mustang because it was the first time the Mustang was redesigned. Everything about the Mustang was bigger, but it still retained everything that made the Mustang popular in the first place, such as the familiar styling and proportions. Inside, the Mustang was stylish enough, but options allowed a buyer to build his/her Mustang with the latest in custom features — of special note were the combination of the Décor Option and Convenience Control Panel, a complement of fancier interior trim, overhead console, and warning lights. Plus, there now was room for Ford’s big-block 390, bringing the Mustang to a level that was competitive with its stablemate, the Fairlane GT, if not the Pontiac GTO.

The exterior has been repainted in Candyapple Red. According to the seller, this Mustang has an older refinish that shows well but has aged. Features include hood-mounted turn signals, fender-mounted antenna, rocker and wheel lip moldings, black GT stripes with GTA emblems, chrome dual side mirrors, and a flip-up GT gas cap.

A set of chrome 14-inch Styled Steel wheels with stainless steel trim rings is wrapped in 215/70R14 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires.

The front bucket seats, Sport Deck folding rear seat, and door panels are upholstered in black vinyl. Features include power steering, AM radio, three-spoke steering wheel with wood rim, and console-mounted automatic transmission shifter.

The instrument panel consists of a 120-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level and temperature. The odometer reads 29,905 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.

Power is provided by an S-code 390cid V8 backed by a C6 three-speed automatic transmission. Engine bay features include chrome valve covers, shock tower brace, Monte Carlo bar, and air cleaner.

This Mustang is equipped with an independent front suspension and limited-slip rear with 3.25:1 gears. Braking is provided by power front discs and rear drums. A dual exhaust system exits at the rear through the valence panel as part of the GT Equipment Group.
