Introduced in 1964, the Mustang was an overnight sensation in the media and in Ford showrooms across the country. It offered a winning combination of sporty performance, personal luxury, and fresh styling – most importantly affordability. The Mustang created its own market segment and as a result achieved the most successful new car introduction in the history of the automobile industry.

Ford’s Mustang triggered competition from every major car company, creating suddenly the “ponycar” class. Part of Mustang’s appeal, in addition to its trim size and sparkling performance, was the 130 factory options and accessories available between 1965 and 1973. A buyer could specify anything from a bare bones six-cylinder coupe to a top of the line fully equipped big block convertible.

As the competition would catch up, Ford would introduce something new and improved, keeping the Mustang fresh. 1967 marked the first year the Mustang received any major styling revisions. Still on the same chassis, the front end was most notably altered and can best be described as ‘larger.’ The headlight moldings, grill, and simulated scoops were all enlarged versions of the previous Mustang’s and achieved a more focused appearance with a little bit more flare – many consider the 1967 Mustang to be the most attractive model year of all.

How to make a Mustang GT First, pick your V-8. Any of four big choices from the 289-cid Challenger to a new 390-cid Thunderbird Special, the fearsome S-Code engine such as seen in this car - ranging in power from 200-hp to the 320-hp of the S-Code. Then add the GT Equipment Group, and wonderful things happen. Up front, a pair of four-inch foglamps are built into the grille, giving the Mustang GT the appearance of an expensive rally-type machine. Tires put more tread on the road for greater traction, look extra-low and sporty. Front power disc brakes take over to give you extra resistance against fade. The GT Equipment Group also includes the Special Handling Package: higher rate springs and shocks, beefier front stabilizer bar. The Mustang GT exhaust system, with both the high-performance Cobra and Thunderbird Special V-8, is a special low-restriction type, with dual mufflers and chromed "quad" outlets. Final touch: accent stripes with "GT" (for stick shift) or "GTA" (for SelectShift Crusie-O-Matic.), again, as with this machine.

Accompanied by a Marti Report, this green with black interior GTA Hardtop is handsomely equipped with its window sticker, air conditioning; power steering and brakes, plus bucket seats, radio, BFGoodrich tires and all of the motoring excitement you can handle.
