The Cragars make it great. My guess was pretty much dead-on today, too. Whoo!

Classic in every way, including the color. There were Cougars in that green color/black vinyl combo too. The first year Stangs look a little thin and bony compared to this; the later ones look like steroid cases (not always a bad thing!) compared to this beauty.

Great block indeed.

Hmm- all one color (green, no less).. no JC Whitney plastic scoop.. four Cragars, non-corroded.. no evidence of 'Power by Holley' stickers.. were it not for the inescapable evidence of the Chevelle across the street, I might think that Alameda was The Island That Rednecks Forgot.

Plus, bonus points for "Jesus Lives- in my garage".

Wow! That's my ex-wife's Mustang and my son's Chevelle.

anybody else think the new Mustang would look interesting with this roofline? (I know, the convertible is kinda like this, but it's not the same...)

@parkrndl: I think so. I think it would make the current Mustang look way less fat.

@parkrndl: I remember they had both a coupe and fastback version for the Fox-Body 'Stangs. Call me crazy, but I always liked the coupe versions. I believe that the C5 Vette had a short-lived coupe version too, remember thinking it looked good too.

@TX Law: Very short lived - 1 year, I believe. But the C5 Z06 was the notchback.

Winner. The rear tires are just the right size and discs all around seal the deal. The color is merely icing.

@tiberiuswise: It's tough to tell from the pics, but I don't think so. The one close up wheel pic seems to be the left front.

@tiberiuswise: My bad. When Murilee wrote "disc brake model" I assumed that all Mustangs had front discs, so Murilee must be referring to the rears.

Clearly I need to spend more time around vintage Stangs. I'll get right on it...

@Bumblebee: For a minute there I was thinking Ford Granadas had disc brakes all around. That would have violated a number of Malaise Laws.

@brandegee: Front disc brakes were a not-so-common option for the Mustang in '67; discs were considered a super-exotic foreign innovation by Americans at the time, and Detroit didn't have front discs as standard equipment on most models until the early 70s.

However, Granada/Monarch front brake hardware bolts right onto the early Mustangs- in the same way the Malaise Darts serve as disc-brake donors for 60s Chrysler B bodies- and that's why every Granada that goes to the junkyard gets those brake goodies snatched within minutes of hitting the yard.

This is a very nice Mustang. I've never been much a fan, but everything about this one is just right.

For what it's worth, Cragar S/S' look good on everything.
