1971 Ford Falcon  (302 Cleveland)

Nick Frost  of Boyne Island parked this beauty outside my house the other day. So I grabbed my Brand new Sony digital camera and got a few picks before the sun went down This is the second version of this car that Nick has owned, The first one was mangled in an accident, (No Blame to Nick on this one). A new body was found, and everything was re- installed . Nick is not as pleased with it as he was with the original,. But he wanted his machine back on the road as the FIRST priority.”its looks fine from a distance” Nick told me.. But I got up real close to it, and it looks bloody beautiful The Red paint is a “made up colour” from left over paints. . when you have a budget. . You gotta stick to it. I did SEVERELY mention to Nick that we would like to see the car and him at one of our outings. . And he promised to turn up “for a quick visit” at our Annual Christmas do.  Tubby

(The Original motor was a 289 Windsor)

Graham says Most of the restoration work was done by ‘Californian Image’ Nerangbar. But checking through his photo albums there are a good few photos of Graham in plenty of “hands on situations”

Being a U.S. car it was originally a left hand drive. The conversion to Right hand drive was included in the work done by Californian Image. Needless to say The Mustang is a highly sought Ford ‘Muscle’ car. And Graham and Frances are Extremely Proud owners.

The 1967 Ford Mustang is a classic car that has captured the hearts of many car lovers over the years! After its launch in 1964, the Mustang quickly became a favorite among American drivers, thanks to its sporty look and thrilling performance at a budget-friendly price. By 1967, Ford decided it was time to spice things up a bit, and the changes they made really boosted the Mustang’s charm.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the 1967 model is its new, beefier look. The Mustang got a bit bigger—longer, wider, and heavier—creating a more spacious interior and a smoother ride. This new design featured a bolder grille, larger headlights, and a more pronounced hood, giving it a powerful stance that appealed to those seeking style and strength.

Under the hood, the 1967 Mustang offered an impressive lineup of engines. The base model came with a 200 cubic inch inline-six engine that produced a friendly 120 horsepower. But for those looking for a little thrill, there were several V8 options available! You could choose the 289 cubic inch engine, with a high-performance version cranking out an exciting 271 horsepower, or opt for the robust 390 cubic inch V8 that delivered 320 horsepower. With such variety, drivers could pick a Mustang that fit their personality—whether they wanted a smooth daily ride or a roar on the open road.

The 1967 model also introduced fun trims and options that added more character to the car. The GT package, for example, upgraded the Mustang with features like dual exhaust and a sportier suspension, making it great for those wanting a little extra excitement. Plus, the arrival of the Shelby Mustang set the stage for its future in racing, giving it a legendary status that still resonates today.

Inside the Mustang, comfort was key! The cabin featured improved materials and options for reclining bucket seats and a stylish center console. With fun extras like an AM/FM radio, driving became even more enjoyable.

 

All in all, the 1967 Ford Mustang was a fantastic blend of style, power, and versatility, securing its place as a staple in American automotive history. To this day, classic car enthusiasts celebrate this model for its unique design and spirited performance, making it a beloved piece of nostalgia on the roads.
