Classic Nation

Ever since I can remember, I have been a huge fan of classic cars; particularly classic Mustangs. When I was a teenager (not too long ago) I saved up enough money and I began looking to purchase my first car. I knew what I wanted. A 1967 Mustang; either a coupe or a fastback. I looked at a few before my dad came across this picture in the Wheel Deals.

It didn’t look like much, but my dad showed me the picture and said he would stop by and take a look. I remember talking to him right after high school basketball, and he told me the car was in VERY good shape, and was a great deal. I told him if he thought it was good, go ahead and get it (with my cash). He did!

I remember being so excited for the next few days, although I could barely contain myself because I wouldn’t have the opportunity to go out and see it until the next weekend when we were to pick it up. As I pulled up to the car for the first time, I was overwhelmed with joy! It was so much better than the picture showed! The color on the 67 mustang was a very light blue, called frost turquoise (I would later find that this color was only offered in 1967).

The story on the car is this: It had been sitting in a garage since 1984 - started only a few times since then. The guy who we bought it from had stored it after his mother died. It had been hers - she was a grandma! She bought the car from the original owner - a lady from the Seattle area.

The Mustang had the original 289 V8 4.6 Liter with the 2 barrel carb. It was pretty much stock except for duel glass packs were put on the factory duel exhaust. The rumble from those packs really sounds great!

Since I purchased the car I have changed out the wheels, opting for classic slotted mag wheels. I have also done some very minor repairs.
