Interesting find: 1967 Mustang STALLION
A very prominent Mustang collector friend of mine located in Ontario called me tonight. He was offered a chance to bid on a 67 Stallion.

Anyway, these are rare cars. And neat.
Just thought it was an interesting story.
For those of you that don't know about them:
The 1967 Stallion was a special promotion Mustang from the Toronto based Mainway Ford dealer. Back in mid of 1967 Mainway placed some advertisements in canadian car magazines, at least the one pictured above in July in the Canada Track and Traffic mag.
The Stallion was initiated, custom-designed and sold exclusively by Mainway Ford, Toronto (Canada), although the ad was asking for franchise partners. The Stallion could be ordered with the 320HP 390cui engine in GT-version. Optional were a 410HP 390ci and a 550HP 427 engine. We have yet no information on the specific engine mods on the two optional engines. But acc. to Kevin Marti research, there were some of them produced with a 289 Hi-Po engine.
4-speed manual trans or a C6 auto trans could be choosen acc. to the advertisement. Performance was expressed on the outside with a special paint, Stallion emblems, rear Cougar taillights, a very unique vynil side treatment.
On the inside a tachometer, console with radio, Deluxe steering wheel and seat belts and a rear fold-down seat plus wooven seat covers didn't left the driver thinking he was having a serial Mustang.
Everything indicated that this was a Horse of a Special Breed - A real STALLION.
Kevin Marti (www.martiauto.com) checked his Ford files and found out, that probably only 8 Stallions were produced by Mainway Ford, 4 of them had a 289 Hi-Po installed and the other 4 received a 390 from the factory. So indeed their project did not came to much off the ground.
What options were there on the Stallions?

Its had work done to it making it look like that. Following the link you'll see an advertisement showing what appears to be the 'classic stance' for a mustang.
I've seen that site before. It would be a nice car to have but it deserves to be restored 100% original and properly done. Big bucks!

This goes to show even though they might be rare, rarity doesn't always mean better. This definately needs somework done to it. They look like a 16 yr old from 1985 got a hold of it a tried to put big tires on it and jack it up. Wait, was that me? 
My friend had a 69 gto that looked like that, all jacked up.

RE: Interesting find: 1967 Mustang STALLION
Very cool!! Of course I am kinda partial, my 76 hatch II is a stallion. I have never liked the way the older mustangs squat, so on my 1st car--68 notch-- I put air shocks on it to fix that. Then when I bought the 76 new I did the same thing. I don't think that mustangs should be squating they should bestanding tall and ready to run!!!
