Coyote Swapped 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Revisited

I liked this car the first time we shot it. A lot, but it's a whole different car now. It was running lean on the passenger bank of cylinders and after a few things it went from 225 hp on the dyno to 437 at the wheel and from 175 torque to 375. It's making almost double what it was the first time we shot it and felt it deserved a proper shoot.
So sit back and enjoy the ride...

Dark Moss Green...my 64/5 was that color when I bought it in 1970. Painted it LeMans Blue(GM-corvette-'70).

[@lsvip1820]

I love these fast backs. What a clean genuine looking example

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s so good. Probably my favorite year of Mustang is the 67 Fastback

[@paultucker1272]

Whilst I appreciate the high$$ builds you show.....THIS is much more to my taste. It keeps the beautiful looks from the 60s, but with just enough updates to keep it relevant today. And quite possibly the best sounding Coyote powered Mustang I've ever heard. Awesome!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love em all but yes, this one is more realistic for most of us. Perfect driver

@@brandonknight7240 mine was white. Gave 950 for it. I was 15., my buddy and i were running the roads , i was on a Big Red 3-Wheeler (the first big thing I ever purchased) paid 1500 for it.

Also got chip Foose and Richard Rawlings as well as Richard Petty pictures sign and autographed.

The sound of that Coyote engine was the only music I Like to hear, I love it! Thank's for sharing it. Back in '68, I had a 68 Mustang Convertible, red/ red interior w/white top, 390 4spd, I wanted to trade it in if I could have gotten a green 2+2, none in Flint, Michigan at the time.

You are Awesome for digging into the issues for him with a massive improvement that Kyle might had never chased down knowing no different… No hate on Kyle but because of your experience he ends up with a entirely different car that he never knew was that good….Props to you my friend… Love the car and the package…Wouldn’t change anything honestly…Dig It!

I've always admired this build. In the perfect world this would be my daily. Sadly, the world is not perfect...

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Everyday if it was mine

[@coryholbrook4643]

These cars are my favorites that you do... the not super high end but (almost) Everyman builds, like this one and the old school big block Chevelle you did running 15” rallye wheels still. Absolutely the best versions of these cars. The problem? Not everyone has good taste, even pro builders. They do gimmicky or trendy touches to show off talent, not make a good or well engineered product. Not always but often. Almost always though the cars they build are trends, not timeless. So in a few years these builds are going to look as dated as a pro build from the 90’s does now but classic looks will always be classic, never outdated.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I hear you and agree a lot of time although I really love seeing the builds with radical Fab work for the artistry. But this one is a timeless driver and I love it too!

[@anuoldman]

42 years ago, I learned to drive and drift on the very same car, with original 289 hipo... I remember the cool nights in SoFla , windows open, embarrassing corvettes, and laying down 100 yards of smoke.... oh those were the days.... when I find one, make sure its really locked up, or the ghost of 1982 will be driving it on the Ft Lauderdale strip...... mmmmmm

[@gene2200]

Do really like the fastbacks but partial to my 68 Cougar Dad bought new when I was 5, bought it from him in highschool 40yrs back, Restored it right some yrs ago and get over 400hp through a 302 I detuned for pump gas. Wrinkles the tires no problem and goes. Stacy David built a killer version with the coyote, whole lotta work! I get my coyote fix with my F150, runs like a bat outa hell!

[@j.petisch]

I had the same problem with my 64.5 coyote swapped, luckily I had an nGauge attached. When I went through the various gauges, I spotted the AFR showing 26:1 instead of 14.6 on the right bank. I slapped in a new sensor and plugs and was back in the saddle. Apparently those sensors can die easily.

[@AutotopiaLA]

They’re not very reliable. One of them went after replacing with brand new. But once it got sorted it was incredible to drive!

Hey Shaun, haven't seen your videos for a while as my computer went down.The Mustang sounds and looks great! So you've also been sick for a bit too, huh! You gotta find yourself a big momma to make you some chicken soup. If you're still sick these days, here are a couple of funny jokes to pick you up. ******* Three men were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. One of the men pressed his forearm and the beep stopped. The others looked at him questioningly. "That was my pager,' he said. 'I have a microchip under my skin.' A few minutes later a phone rang. The man lifted his palm to his ear. When he finished, he explained. 'That was my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.' The third man, an old scooter tramp, felt very low tech. Not to be outdone, he knew he had to do something just as impressive. He stepped out of the sauna and went to the bathroom. He returned with a long piece of toilet paper hanging from his ass. The other two men raised their eyebrows and stared at him. The biker shrugged. 'Well, will you look at that,' he said, 'I'm getting another fax.' ******* ******* A man walked into his backyard one morning and found there was a gorilla in a tree. He called a gorilla removal service, and soon a serviceman arrived with a stick, a chihuahua, a pair of handcuffs and a shotgun. 'Now listen carefully,' he told the homeowner. 'I'm going to climb the tree and poke the gorilla with this stick until he falls to the ground. The trained chihuahua will then go right for his balls, and when the gorilla instinctively crosses his hands in front to protect himself, you slap the handcuffs on.' 'OK, got it,' the homeowner replied, 'But.... what's that shotgun for?' 'If I fall out of the tree before the gorilla,' the man said, 'Shoot the chihuahua.' ******* ******* A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey and orders a drink.... While the man is drinking, the monkey jumps all over the place, eating everything in sight. He grabs a bowl of pretzels, and empties the whole thing into his mouth, then picks up a wad of napkins, and, .... down the hatch. He jumps onto the pool table, picks up a billiards ball, then puts it into his mouth, and swallows it whole. The bartender yells at the guy, 'Your monkey just ate the cue ball off my table --- whole!' The man finishes his drink, pays for everything and leaves. A couple of weeks later, the man goes back to the bar with his pet monkey. As he sits down to order a drink, the monkey starts running around, jumps onto the bar, and finds a cherry. He grabs the cherry, sticks it up his ass, then pulls it out and pops it into his mouth. The bartender is disgusted. 'Did you see what your monkey did now?' he asked. 'Yeah, replied the guy. 'He still eats everything in sight, but ever since he swallowed that cue ball, he measures stuff first.' *******
