Wife's C&R Valentine

[majspud]

A 1967 Mauser-stang. She finally got her dream car. If she had her druthers, it would be candy-apple red, but she's not complaining.

C-code 289/2bbl, 200HP
PS, PB
Factory Air
Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed auto

We got it from a school friend of hers in AZ for about 2/3 of retail. Restored, turn-key, 23,600 mile car. Got it into the small side of the garage with the freezer with 12" to spare.

This is a SMALL car. I'm a tall torso 6'1" and 265. My head hits the headliner. I have to scoot forward in the seat, but then the steering wheel is on my crotch.

I won't be driving it that much, well maybe a little, until my '55 gets home. Bad part about the delivery was the truck couldn't make it up our road. I had to drive it 300 yards in the slush and mud of our dirt road to get to the garage. Of course, I had drive it a mile around the block to test it.

That thing is gorgeous! Congrats

 

[LuvDog]

Wow... it looks great. The Bug I got my wife a couple of years ago (her dream car) is in way rougher shape.

2/3 of current retail, or 2/3 of retail when it was new?

Beautiful car. I'm sure your wife will love it.

 

[Mountain]

That's a beauty! Wonderful condition. Now crawl under there and rinse off all that salt.

 

[greencobra]

nice! big time mustang guy here, jealously raging now.

 

[MAPMFF.]

Beautiful ride!

 

[Dip Dungles]

Beautiful car. Now go throw a coyote in it.

2/3 of NADA value

I drove slow. I don't know if they salt dirt roads.

Is that like a Shelby knock-off?

I'm not sure if they salt dirt roads, either. I'd probably hose the underside off when it warms up a little just in case. If you can get your wife to park it, that is!

 

[Boris]

very nice, looks great in and out, congrats to your lucky wife!

 

[mac1911]

Nice...

 

[Picton]

Love a Mustang coupe. Congrats, Mrs majspud!

 

[radioman]

Nice ride! I had a 67 myself. I got pretty good on identifying what was stock and what was not. Your car looks like it has a steering wheel modification. I believe it has the inner horn button delete package installed. These were made after market to get rid of the hideous horn buttons Ford used in 67. They were about 6 to 8 inches long and stuck out toward the driver to aid in frontal impact protection. A lot of people swap them out to the wheel that you have on your car.

 

[majspud]

So you got the horn stuck up your nose in a collision?

[VetteGirlMA]

Your wife has great taste in cars. I love the color and that engine bay is show ready clean. I don't know what it is, but I always loved old Mustangs.

 

[Individualist]

Nice! Looks to be in really beautiful shape. Love the '67 stance. You're gonna have a GREAT summer!

 

[majspud]

I like the engine bay of my '55 Pontiac. 289 Strato-Streak, 4bbl Rochester, 200 HP, 4sp Auto.

She is going to get "HER67" for a license plate. I was thinking is "HIS55", but I like my original plates.

Since these pics from July of '15, skirts have been added and the trim painted, as well as correct sized Coker's. They are from the appraisal photos; the car was dirty in the shop.

[Chevy 2 65]

Very Nice

 

[majspud]

A Happy Mrs. Spud. Hard to believe I haven't driven my '55 since August of '15.

[Picton]

Yeah. Definitely an awesome car and a happy wife.

But the cat poster's got to go.

 

[majspud]

Not a poster; a nylon house flag for summer. We've got 5 cats, 4 rabbits, and fish.

And, what, the bunnies weren't good enough to make it onto the flag?

That's just cold, man.

 

[majspud]

We haven't found a bunny flag yet. Those are generic cats; not ours. I wonder if we could take a family photo and have it made into a banner?

[MAGG]

67 stang was the first car I fell in love with....great find man....sweet gift

 

[K98]

Very nice from another vintage Mustang owner. Always keep "parts on shelf" with these vintage cars. I like the color.

I like the color much better in the photo with the mrs. it looked green in the first photos and I'm not a green car guy.
I love the Mustangs.

 

[majspud]

The car was originally Code B, Frost Turquoise. When it was repainted, it was done in Code W, Clearwater Aqua (also a '67 color).
