There might be plenty of Ford Mustangs out there, but not many of them present quite like this one.
Despite how much they can be worth and just how popular they are, even noted in Google search data as the most searched-for vehicle in the world, it does take something quite the special example to stand out from the crowd.
Set to go under the digital hammer via RR Auctions on Wednesday September 9, 2026, this 1967 Mustang Fastback has undergone a full “nut and bolt” restoration.
Quite simply, this is one of the most pristine examples of the original Mustang Fastback you’ll ever see. It’s as good as, if not better than it was when new.
Sold out of Perth, Western Australia, the majority of the work undertaken on restoring this ‘Stang to showroom condition was completed Stateside in South Dakota.
It’s clear from a look underneath just how extensive that work was. The chassis, suspension components, bushings, differential, the underside of the engine – it’s a played-out saying, but you probably could eat your dinner off it.
Since the restoration was completed, the car has only travelled an indicated 247 miles. You’d think that was all it had ever done in its lifetime by the looks of it.
The car’s seller, Nigel, wasn’t the person who commissioned this work as he purchased the car about a year ago as a nearly-finished project. However, he soon set about getting it into the final shape you see here.
“When I picked it up, it needed a few bits and pieces to be finished off on it – the chromework, dressing up the engine bay, the wheels, things like that,” Nigel explains.
“The way they do the suspension in America is a little bit different to what we like over here, so we also lowered it a bit and did a few other things.”
Nigel also set about tightening up the looks of this ’67 Fastback to really make it stand out.
While it’s finished in a sparkling shade of blue, he elected to set it off with a set of GT350-inspired stripes, sourcing the side stripes from the US while having those running over the top custom-cut.
“I wasn’t sure whether to go with the stripes because people’s tastes vary, but they really finished it up,” he says.
“My son said I should leave it plain – that it looked nice just as it was, real classy – but I’ve always liked the look of the Shelby stripes.
“When we put them on, even the guy who fitted them said how much is makes the colour of the paint come out and pop even more.”
Don’t think it’s all show and no go, either. The 351 ‘Windsor’ V8 under the bonnet has been given a bit of a tickle, now producing around 500hp, which is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed performance auto and Ford nine-inch rear end.
“I wouldn’t recommend driving it on a wet road unless you know what you’re doing,” Nigel laughs.
“But it starts and runs really well for an engine with that much horsepower – it’s very driveable, which is quite impressive for an old-school motor.
“Plus, the cam in it is quite wild, so you pull up at the lights and everything shaking, so you definitely know what you’re driving.
“The thing still hasn’t really been properly dyno tuned either, because it’s only done around 270 miles and has only just been run in, in a sense.”
If you like the sound of all that – because it’s more than likely that you’ll like what you’re seeing already – bidding is already open on the RR Auctions website.
