The 1967 Ford Mustang was one of the bestselling Fords ever produced and an elegant sculpture on four wheels. During the Mustang’s success of models ’64-66, the Ford manufactured around 1.3 million of Mustangs. Therefore, the Mustang’s designers got back to their Drawing board. They sketched a new Mighty Mustang without really changing the original class.

The ’67 Mustang is a redesign of ’64, but it is one of the most favorite and bestselling Mustangs. With its long flowing lines and a long-pronounced hood, it gives a friendly yet Aggressive look. The Mustang favored crisped lines and softly rounded form over the old blockier Mustang. The ’67 Mustang revolved more around performance with its 6.4 L V8 engine. It can produce a power of about 335 strong horses. This model comes with both manual and auto transmission and this makes it one of the best first cars for many.

1967 Mustang’s Appearance in Movie and Auction

The refreshed 1967-1968 Ford Mustang, which gained fame through Steve McQueen’s 1968 movie “Bullitt,” occupies a unique spot in the Mustang’s extensive model chronicle. McQueen’s vehicle in the film, a 1968 GT 2+2 Fastback, engaged in an exhilarating pursuit against a Dodge Charger through San Francisco’s streets.

In 2020, a distinct Bullitt Edition of the Ford Mustang hit the market, showcasing identical white gear shift details and incorporating design and power elements reminiscent of the iconic “Bullitt” car.

Notably, the original Bullitt Mustang was auctioned off in January 2020, fetching an impressive $3.7 million, setting a record at that time.
