The 1967 Ford Mustang is a classic example of the iconic American car that has been in continuous production since 1964, making it the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. The Mustang was developed as a sporty coupe and convertible, featuring “long hood, short deck” proportions and a highly styled appearance that set it apart from other vehicles on the market.
The 1967 redesign of the Mustang included a facelift that gave the car a more massive look overall and allowed for a big block engine to be offered for the first time. The front and rear end styling was more pronounced, and the “twin cove” instrument panel offered a thicker crash pad and larger gauges. The hardtop, fastback, and convertible body styles continued as before, with the addition of a Mercury variant, called the Cougar, which used its own styling cues, such as a “power cat” logo and hidden quad headlamps.
New safety regulations by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for 1967 included an energy-absorbing steering column and wheel, 4-way emergency flashers, a dual-circuit hydraulic braking system, and softer knobs. These safety features were important for protecting drivers and passengers in the event of a collision.
The 1967 Ford Mustang remains a popular collector’s car today, prized for its classic styling and powerful engine options.
