Okay, I'm an idiot! I can't spell "Remember" and of course it is a 67! That's why I bought it.

I got lots to do on the other ones first and this one I can drive and play with at my own pace. Of course, once the 66 is finished I will want it perfect quickly!

Looks pretty original. Nice car. Unless it's hiding something I don't think you'll have to do a whole lot to it. Do you plan to keep the color? I like the deep green with the white top.

That is one of the things I like about it, the originality. It does need some work, but most is simple patch panels where some rust has formed. I love the green and the green interior, no changes planned there!

Nice looking car.

A little rust never hurt anybody. At least they didn't say fresh paint....that always makes me worry what they were trying to hide with the super cheap hurry up paint job.

sweet .. and forget about those turbos (ember my post about that rear axle and u-joint) ;-)

i always loved those 67 convertibles. Would have been my 2nd choice. If I ever win the lotto I'll have one of those

stupid question: wasn't the pic you posted dual exhaust ? is that two 3 cyl headers going into one exhaust each, or is it all 6 going into one pipe that is splitting later?

How does it sound with the single out header and split exhaust? I am keeping my I6 and want to build my own header but think I should go with a dual out setup because I have heard that the I6 has a very droney sound. Currently mine has a single exhaust with a glasspack on the end and it sounds like a Briggs and Stratton on steriods

I have been told that the true header with dual exhaust sounds really good.

That is a beautiful car. I love the color and it is in really nice shape. I will admit I have learned a lot about these old mustangs from this site and from my "recent" purchase of my mustang.

I wouldn't mind having a convertible one on the side as well. I was trying to convince my wife a nice 65 or 66 convertible would be perfect for her.

Fake- If you just can't stand not having very much work to do on that car, I would be willing to trade with you for a while so you could feel more productive.
