Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

I bought myself a 1967 Saturday and I am beside myself.  I've had fun getting my hands in there and looking around.  I've got some adjusting on the carburetor to do, but once I do I'll pull it out of the garage and get some better pictures in the day.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

It is my first Mustang. I spent some time this evening going through all the stuff that was piled into the car figuring out what to throw away and what to keep. So far I have what I need to do a decent tuneup.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

I'm seeing remnants of what looks like Springtime Yellow paint on the front end.  Ironically that was the original color of my first Mustang; a '67 coupe as well.  It was painted red when I bought it, but the overspray and data plate told the real tale.  I ended up sending it to the crusher because it had massive rot that I didn't see at first (I was 14 at the time, so I think its forgivable).  But, as I'd already recovered the front seats I simply swapped them into my '67 fastback when I bought it, so parts of it live on.

Good luck!

A word of advice based on experience. Do t throw anything away till its done. As soon as you throw something way you'll need it.

I'll second that .... done that ... even when I knew better. When you think you don't need it ... keep it.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

I hear ya!  The only stuff I was throwing away was a bunch of loose roofing nails, tons of empty cigarette packages, faded receipts, leaves, wood screws, etc.  Anything that looked remotely like it might go on a car got put into my metal cabinet.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

Congrats!   Are you going to combine it with MS convertible, and make a fastback?  I saw a roof on craigslist....  j/k.  


If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

Congrats... now to get it bash-ready!

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

Congrats on the project.  I'm sure you know the drill.  First order of business is to do a very careful rust evaluation.  Check the cowl area, wheel wells, floor pans, engine bay, etc.  I hope you don't find much rust.  After you get the body in good shape then move on to mechanical.  I hope this will be a fun project for you.


1968 T-code Coupe with a 302.  Nice car, no show stopper for sure, but I like it.

Nahhhhhhhhhh....if its a Texas car there may be a little rust on the bottom of the ash tray! The rest will be virgin 67 steel.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

Let's have a race. You, MS and Hakan - who can finish their 67 project first? Congrats on the new car - at least you have a shop instead of a garage to work in.....I would have killed for a shop to do my 68 restoration in.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

Yeah, but we should include ultrastang and his 68 coupe.  That way, at least I won't come in last!

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

MS or Hakan is going to win that race I'm afraid.  Of course MS is retired and has lots of time on his hands.  I would figure he'd beat me out.  Ron68, it is nice having a shop to work out of.  I don't have the funds right now to buy a lift but I'd LOVE to have the lift that MS had up in Ovilla.

Re: Bought me a 1967 Coupe!!!!

I want to thank almcgee for finding this car.  I doubt he can get garage points for finding a member a car, but he should.  Thanks Al!
