1967 Mustang Coupe Resto-Mod

1967 Ford Mustang Coupe Description:

Well-maintained, very good solid condition, daily driver. We have restored and upgraded this car over the past eight years, with a focus on safety, reliability, and driveability. Many of the primary systems and sections of the car have been completely refurbished. We also focused on maximizing the engine performance – the car is a six-cylinder 200 but the speed and acceleration are on a par with a small 8-cylinder of the same vintage due to hi-performance engine upgrades. Suspension, brakes and steering all replaced/refurbished for maximum handling and smooth driving.
