1967 Mustang Restoration

For many enthusiasts the 1967 is the Mustang. Bigger, bolder bodywork, room for a big-block, the first fastback that looked like a fastback, and the birth year of the Shelby GT500.

The Mustang most people picture

Ask someone to picture a classic Mustang and there is a good chance they see a 1967 fastback: the muscular restyled body, the concave tail, the aggressive stance made famous on screen. The 1967 was the first major redesign of the Mustang, and for a lot of enthusiasts it is the definitive one.

Muscle and the birth of the GT500

1967 was the first year you could get a big-block Mustang from the factory, the 390 FE, and the first year of the legendary Shelby GT500. That heritage is a big part of why 1967 fastbacks command the values they do. We restore correct 390 and Shelby-tribute cars, and we build 1967 restomods with modern big-block or stroker power for owners who want to drive them hard.

Worth doing right

Because 1967 fastbacks sit at the top of the first-generation market, the quality of the restoration shows directly in the value. Straight metal, correct details, and a proper finish are what separate a car worth restoring from one worth chasing. This is a build to do once, and do right.

Answers

1967 Mustang Restoration: your questions

Why is the 1967 Mustang so popular to restore?

The 1967 is the year the Mustang grew into its most iconic shape: bigger, more muscular bodywork, a genuinely fastback roofline, and enough engine bay to hold a big-block. It is also the first year of the Shelby GT500. That combination of looks, muscle, and movie fame makes the 1967 fastback one of the most sought-after and valuable first-generation Mustangs to restore.

Can you put a big-block in a 1967 Mustang?

Yes, and 1967 was the first year Ford did it from the factory with the 390 FE. We build correct 390 cars and also fit modern big-block and stroker power for restomod builds. The 1967 engine bay was designed with room for it, which is part of what makes these cars so desirable.

How much does a 1967 Mustang fastback restoration cost?

A correct 1967 fastback restoration usually starts around $60,000 and climbs well past $120,000 for a frame-off or a big-block restomod, because fastbacks command premium starting cars and the details matter for value. Coupes and convertibles restore for less. We scope every 1967 build after inspecting the car.
