'67 Mustang Fastback C-Code Project, 289/4-sp

[scuncio]

Looks pretty solid in the pictures, just super dirty with interesting surface rust on the horizontal surfaces, which make me believe it might have sat outside with a tarp over it for some time.

The auction is in Chicago, so it might be worth asking the seller for some underbody pics. Sounds like it the car was his dad's, who had passed.

Would do wonders if they would of cleaned it out and did some light detailing on it before listing it for sale.

Originally Nightmist Blue (dark blue), not red.

Isn't a "C" code a 260, or was that only in 65 + 66 Mustangs? Could one even get a 260 in 1967? What is a IPO 289? If the seller is trying to say HI PO 289, wouldn't that be a "K" code? I didn't think a "K" code 289 was available in 1967. My Father purchase the 67th. 1964.5 Mustang made on April 17th, 1965. I believe the Mustang was released on April 21, 1965.

They did make a k code in 67 but was rare.319 we’re made and 205 were 4 speeds. 472,209 mustangs made in 67.

I think you mean 1964, not 1965. And no, the 260 was not available in 67.

A C code is a 298 2 barrel, rated at 200 hp, if I remember correctly.

[1967Z28]

That's correct for a C code in that era. The A code Mustang was a 289 4bbl that had 10:1 compression and 225hp.

Yes, I meant to say 1964, and the "D" code was an early (1964.5 only) 289 4 bbl with 10.0 compression and a generator. Thanks for the correction.

I think his confusion on the listing about the IPO maybe a late release of the stock and it being retracted before hitting the exchange. Wait, what? We’re not talking about an Initial Public Offering?

But seriously, the confusion with him on his info may be on the body buck tag. The VIN shows 7T02C, meaning 1967 Metuchen NJ built, Fastback, with a 200hp 2bbl 289 engine. What the body buck tag shows is a K so maybe he assumes it was a K-Code (HiPo 289) engine not realizing that is the color code of the car, Nightmist Blue.

Looking at this tag, it decodes as follows (I’m going by memory…):

X - customer ordered car (I think, versus a dealer order which shows D)
213 - rotation number (the 213th car built that day)
30 - Welding Bay number where assembled
821 - August 21st build
7T02Cxxxxxx - VIN
63A - Fastback, standard interior (although one will note it was outfitted with the Deluxe brushed aluminum dash trim at some point)
K - Nightmist Blue
2A - standard black vinyl bucket interior
SP - Stereo Premimum (AM/FM)
DB - Disk brakes

A couple things to note: plastic cowl cover. That means rotted cowl which means rotted floors and rotted torque box. Interior shot showing upper door jamb and rust hole in jamb. Look at the engine bay: how did the cowl to firewall pinch weld get so dented up? I can almost guarantee on this car if the exterior surface is rusted there is plenty under that needs attention.

Hopefully that helps!
