Description

The GT occupies a special place within the first-generation Mustang range, combining Ford's hugely successful pony-car styling with a more sporting specification. A comparatively small proportion of 1967 Mustangs received the GT equipment package, giving these cars added interest amongst enthusiasts. The convertible brings the further attraction of open-top motoring, while automatic-equipped GT models carried the distinctive GTA identification for 1967.

This example's chassis number identifies it as a 1967 convertible built at Ford's Metuchen plant and originally specified with the desirable A-code 289 cubic-inch V8. Equipped from new with a four-barrel carburettor, this engine carried a factory power of 225hp, placing it above the regular two-barrel 289 in the range with 4,729cc the car is fitted with a Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission.

Presented in red with cream upholstery and a matching folding hood, this Mustang carries GTA wing badges, grille-mounted auxiliary lamps and GT wheel centres. Its right-hand-drive configuration is a particularly noteworthy feature for a British buyer, combining American V8 character with a familiar driving position. Under the bonnet, Cobra-branded finned rocker covers, a bright air cleaner and a polished suspension-tower brace provide further individual touches.

Recorded as first registered in the United Kingdom on 23rd August 1967, BLF 294H has remained with our vendor registered keeper since July 2011. The odometer currently displays 91,470, and its lengthy custodianship forms an appealing part of the car's recent history. Purchased for a large and prominent collection, this example has been housed indoors throughout its time in the collection, regularly maintained by the custodian's mechanics and taken to local shows annually. The vendor describes the Mustang, along with the other cars offered from his collection, as running and driving for its next owner.

This is an established collection car, Its A-code origins, GT presentation, automatic transmission and right-hand-drive layout distinguish it from more commonly encountered Mustang convertibles. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
