$2500 "BARN FIND" 1967 Mustang! WILL IT RUN and DRIVE? NNKH

I bought a 1967 Ford Mustang for $2500 that I'm told has been sitting since 1986. The guy I bought it from was helping a friend sell it. He pressure washed it and wiped down the interior. Let's dive in and see if I SCORED or if this is a BUST!

[@MoCo_Filmmaker]

I don't know how expensive they are, but by the time someone does all the labor that reworking the frame will take; it might be money ahead to just buy an aftermarket frame and do a swap. Would be something you'd be able to do (especially with the lift). At least then any other part swaps you're doing could be done on the frame before lowering the body back on it. Would also make the floor replacement work easier.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Seeing this one kinda breaks my heart. Though power steering was optional, its rare to find one without it. I have a 68 Mustang I bought in 1977 that was in nearly new condition. Lifelong Southern California car. No rust issues. Diamond blue, with 2 tone blue interior, White vinyl top, 289, power steering, Factory AC, automatic, its in beautiful condition inside and out. Still on the road. It kills me to see what rust does to vehicles. If only it had been stored in a good garage ! Always enjoy your videos, I subscribed long ago.

[@historyv350]

Not even the best garage will save them from salted roads in the NE! Agreed, It is a real shame.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Yes true. I was surprised to see all the dash metal was RUSTED TOO. I was born a huge car guy. In 1960 my parents bought a 1958 cadillac from a Doctor friend of theirs. I was 1 year old. It has RARE FACTORY AC! Thats the first car I fell in love with. Unfortunately in 1963 my parents divorced after 20 years of marriage. Mom got the house and the caddy. By 5 years old I was washing the car every Saturday. As I got older I was in charge of maintenance, oil changes, Spark plugs replacement, etc...Which i enjoyed doing. I think God knew I would be a car nut, and put me in Southern California! Lol. Mom knew I wanted the cadillac BAD!, And in 1982 she gave it to me. Its in good shape, and on the road. So I have 2 cars I'm taking care of. Of course I have new cars for everyday use. Its fun taking them to car shows, the caddy is the most fun. Frequently its the only cadillac at the show. And young kids today have never seen one like it lol. Once a teenager says to me, Wow, thats a cool IMPALA!! LOL. I looked at the front of the caddy, I swear she looked PISSED OFF! LOL! Be well.

[@user-pu7ds6pm1k]

That all can be fixed. For starters the gas tank and side supports (available) and new tank need to be replaced. Then a nearly complete torx box set and floor pans. Some serious work but can be done quite easily with the proper tools. I did a great deal of work on restoring a 66 mustang back in 1994 and a company named vintage mustang here in Houston Tx had all those torx boxes and floor pans and even rockers, and they had the lower door skins and complete quarter panels that I needed. It can be done and is actually worth it when you consider a similiar sized car today with all its BS electronic starts at 25K and more.

And Chris is a fan of Pole Barn Garage so there’s the inspiration for redoing the floor pans.

After owning it for a short time I realized it had a 289 Hi-Po engine with a factory 4 Barrel and factory 4 Speed transmission. It had duel exhaust and a column mounted tack as well as a clock. Kick myself for selling that one. But when I did I bought a 1968 mustang with a 289 and 3 speed manual. Drove that one threw my high school years. Man this video takes me back!

Great video Chris. I had a '67 copper brown coupe, black vinyl top, auto trans. Slightly hot rodded. Your stang has definitely seen better days. She's with the right guy tho. With some more tlc she'll be road worthy once again. Some friendly advice: don't torque the body too much until you get it repaired. If the body twists it will cause irreversible damage. Unibody cars can be delicate, especially in that rust bucket shape. Can't wait to see next update. Gus stole the show as usual. Peace!
