Description
Ford celebrated the Mustang’s third birthday in 1967 by offering the first new sheet metal since the car made its debut in April of 1964. Three body styles were offered – hardtop, convertible and a fastback 2+2 – along with a choice of five engines, three transmissions and 30 other options in keeping with enthusiasts’ demands for more customization. While the overall appearance remained unmistakably Mustang with the same 108-inch wheelbase of its predecessor, the ’67 was longer and wider (the tread increased approximately two inches), and the 2+2 fastback had a longer roofline which gave the car a broader, more solid stance.
The Mustang GTA was limited to 1967 and available in all three body styles. It featured a new, more aggressive front grille appearance with both vertical and horizontal bars and a larger opening. The rear taillight panel was concave and the non-functional side scoops were redesigned as two smaller scoops with inlets and painted body color.
Of all engines offered on the Mustang that year, a new 320-hp, 390 cubic-inch big block powerplant delivered a major boost to the car’s street cred in production trim. GTA owners could opt for the new 390 featuring dual exhaust or select a 289 V-8 – both were mated to automatic transmission, consistent with the car’s GT “A” designation.
