welcome to wacky Wednesday's where everyone has a chance to show off their
car mods, and here's this week's winner, what's up scotty and youtube today we're
going to be featuring my 67 fastback GT 390 four-speed car and i'm gonna walk around
it let you guys listen to it and show you the
interior and the engine and yeah so let's get started,
67 is the first year for this body style so this is the second body style of the
Mustang 65 and 66 were a lot smaller cars, so in my opinion this is the
best-looking and most sought-after is a 67 fastback Mustang, and a real quick way
to determine whether it's a 67 or eight are these quarter panel louvers right
here behind the front door so that is 67 only, 68 had that deleted right there and
was just kind of a smooth shaved, so that's one of my favorite features of
that, also this is a true GT car so in 67 you had the iconic GT stripe right here
along the rocker panel and then you had the GT emblems on the fenders right
there, so on this car I have the Magnum 500 so they aren't factory to the car
but they are factory Magnum 500 and then I got the iconic BF Goodrich
radial TAs on it so just it just gives it the old muscle
car look and they're very nice tires and I actually just put these tires on the
car right before I drove it to Myrtle Beach for Mustang week this past
September, we're gonna move on to the front of the car since this is a GT it
does have the GT fog lights in the grille right here and then also it has
the GT turn signal hood, which now the new s550 Mustang incorporated that from
67, so when you turn the turn signals on it and the indication turns
on right here so it's pretty cool to have people ride in the car that's never
seen that before and then telling them that's factory from back in 1967, also on the
outside right here you have these swing windows, so I guess it's for a lot of
smokers back then so you can ash out when it's raining, but this car has no a/c
so you open it up a cool little breeze on
your legs and kind of helps out a lot so I really enjoy that, then right here we
actually have the vented louvers which is a Fastback only and since 67s the new
body style actually has 12 instead of the typical five found on the 65 and 66
models, all right let's move on to the back of the car, here in the back since
this is a true GT we have the iconic pop off gas lid right here which is one of
my favorite features as well and it's right in the middle so it doesn't matter
what side of the pump you go to you'll always be able to get gas and
then we have the iconic Mustang on the deck lid right here, so 67 was actually
the first year to actually have the letters Mustang in the back across the
deck lid, I think they carried that all the way to 70, all right before we move on to
the interior I just wanted to show you guys the exterior paint on this, this
paint job is almost 17 years old, my dad actually restored this car and he
painted it himself and it is still looking very nice as you all can see the
reflection of the sky, and I just wanted to show you all the gaps the hood gaps
and everything are all pretty much perfect, front headlight buckets are very
nice it's hard to find an old Mustang with these kind of gaps on here and the
doors just open and close beautiful nice firm shuts, all right so this car is a
factory with deluxe interior just pretty rare for these cars, which comes standard
and deluxe is the aluminum dashboard right here brushed aluminum, door panels
as well, a lot of people that do the resto mods and stuff like that and the
Eleanor kits, they kind of just put the brushed aluminum in their car but it's
not truly a deluxe interior, this door shell is actually its own part number
being deluxe interior, it has this grille down here with the speaker hole and the
courtesy light, so a lot of people don't actually incorporate that when they try
to put deluxe interior in the car, so and then this door panel as well as
deluxe, also with the deluxe package are these seats, you have these emblems into
the seats right there and then you also have these hardback
seats with the stainless steel trim around there, extremely rare and they
go for quite a bit on eBay, so one of my favorite things of the car is the lower
console right here, you can actually when you remove your seat belt and it's not in
use, you actually have these seat belt holders right here which is pretty nice, and
then the right here in the center right above the four-speed shifter, we have
what I call a easy-bake oven, so it's pretty cold here in Indiana right now so
I open that up and you get a lot more heat out right there so you can also put
some food in there to warm it up a little bit, so I've got the aftermarket
just classic looking Mustang cassette tape right there so, and then there's a
hash tray right here, alright so let's move on to the other favorite part of
the interior we're gonna look up though, right here we got the overhead console
so pretty rare, 67 was the first year to offer this, and this car has it factory
right up here in the front we have some lights, they actually say map on them
because back in the day you didn't have an iPhone to see where you're at on
Google Maps, you actually had to press the map light and then open the big map
while you're driving or your passengers driving at night and try to figure out
where you guys were, so I thought that was pretty cool
and then on the back right here we have these rear courtesy lights, which is
standard in every fastback and then we have the fold down seat which this car is
actually not equipped with a fold down seat, that's supposed to be bolted up
there, but 67 was the first year to offer as an
option not to get the falldown seat, you can see this crease right here this is
where the actual full down seat, so it would actually fully cover this and then this
would be carpet with chrome trim and then the back would
actually be a trapdoor, where you could open it and put your skis in the back or
a longboard or whatever you wanted to that wouldn't fit in the trunk by itself
so yes I would like to have a trapdoor it's cool, but it's actually more rare
not to have it as it was an option not to have it for
the first year so I think it's pretty cool that mine doesn't have it, but I
would like to have one so, but I'm just trying to keep this car original also
here in the back on fastback only, we have these air vents right here that
you can open and close that way if your riding in the back and you want to
circulate air you have the windows up you can do so, I thought that was pretty
cool, and then I do have the aftermarket
steering wheel right here, I think I'm gonna probably
end up putting the original 67 back in, have the big horn button right here but
while we're here and I'm sitting right here let's go ahead and look over the
instrument cluster, so this car actually came factory with a clock right here, I
guess it was part of the deluxe interior group, you can get all this stuff
without having deluxe interior, but I think it was standard for deluxe we also
have the hundred and twenty mile an hour speedometer and sixty-eight actually
offered 140, so first year for a hundred and twenty right there, also we have the
6000 rpm tach right here, pretty rare to have a tack, you
could actually get the tachs even in automatics but just because it was GT
doesn't mean come with the tach so it was actually a special option and the wiring
harness is actually different if you have a tach than if he didn't have
a tach, so it's very hard to actually just add one in without replacing the
whole dash harness because it's all built in, but a 68 actually started going
to eight grand instead of six, so this is period-correct for my car and then we're
going to go ahead and go down to the floor board right here, and as you can
see my brake pedal right here it's got the emblem for the disc brakes
this car is standard equipped with the four piston Kelsey Hayes disc brakes
they were on all the Shelbys and they have quick-release pads which make it
really easy to slide the pads in and out and I guess Shelby really liked that
because it was real easy to race with that way, so this car stops good
of course the rear still have drums whether it's a GT or not, it does have a
nine-inch rear end with 3 90 gears in it, and then we have the brights right here
with the foot that's your brights, so you don't have to take your hands off the
wheel to turn the brights on or off which is pretty cool, and then this
little guy right here actually does the windshield wipers which is pretty neat
actually if you press, this as a manual pump so the harder you press it the
harder it will squirt out so they did actually option the automatic ones but I
actually like the manual ones because if you have a couple friends behind you in
the drive-through you can actually squirt them so let's test that out real quick
all right let's see if we can hit Allen with this
all right so anyway that's funny I just had to show you guys yeah you can really
make some people mad thru the drive-thru if you do that or if someone's walking
behind your car like a buddy or something you just do it and they really
don't know where it came from so that's pretty cool
also one last thing while we're done here on the floorboard, I do have this
oil pressure gauge right here this is not factory but you know it's a
must-have for any of these old cars, also it's a stainless steel so it kind
of kind of flows with the brushed aluminum interior like I have, so I
thought that was pretty cool to incorporate that in here, that's probably
been in there since the 70s, all right so this is the GT 390 and 67 was actually
the first year that the Mustang had the big block in it and this car has it, they
all came with a 390 GT four-barrel engine which is considered the S code
which is the engine code for the car, also the crown jewel I would say for the
engine bay would be my air cleaner right here, right here it took me about five
years to find it and I finally scored it and got it at the 50th anniversary
Mustang meet in Charlotte and back in 2014, this is a extremely rare it's 67
GT only and you can tell that it's a GT one by the grilles on both sides right
here and this actually does not have the EGR port right here in the front, some
states you actually had that, so these are just hard to find because a lot of
people put the big chrome ones on there and stuff so these just got tossed out
back in the day, and now they're kind of hard to find, also this chrome top was
kind of its first, they actually incorporated the gt390 top lid on the 69
and 70 boss 302, so that's one reason the tops are so hard to find in nice shape
this is original shape as well it's not an aftermarket reproduction, so they're
hard to find because a lot of people put them on the boss 302 cars so
they take them from the 67 s also being the 390 GT we have the powered by Ford
chrome valve covers and then I went ahead and got the auto lite battery top
it's just to make a newer battery look old
the original batteries are extremely expensive so it just kind of works out
and kind of helps out at some shows, and then here is the the windshield bag
right here that we were squirting Allen with, so 67 is actually the last year for
the bag and then they moved on to the plastic containers for 68, 68 actually
got a lot of plastic stuff in the Mustangs that's kind of where they were
taken over with all the plastic stuff, and because it was a lot cheaper to
produce and stuff like that, then right here we have the power disc brake
booster right here on the driver's side, we do have the export strut brace right
here for the shock towers, and then just to show you guys I'm sure some of y'all
are curious on this, this is an S code car true s code, the 390's actually had this
shroud right here, and 68 had the 428 which is the first year that Ford
offered the 428, but in 67 you could actually get a 67 Shelby with the 428 so
Shelby didn't even use a 390 but being 67 factory from Ford the 390 was the
best you could get unless you special ordered the 427 side oiler and those
cars are worth big money because few of them were produced, let's move up to the
top of the hood real quick here is the wiring harness for the turn signals I
was showing you guys earlier right there, I did install a new water pump over the
summer and you can see the engine is not pristine it's dirty I've actually put
about a hundred and twenty thousand miles on this car, outside paint and all
I've been driving this car since I was 16 years old, I actually took my driving
test in it and passed the first time, no power steering four-speed car, I parallel
parked it perfect and that lady just checked off and said man you can
drive and it's kind of funny because my twin sister actually failed two times so
she was upset and cried, but of course she wasn't driving this car I was
driving it but when my dad fixed it up I actually got to drive it out in the
country you know on some back roads and stuff when I was like 15
so I kind of knew how to drive the car before I actually took the test which
was a big advantage for me, but yeah I actually drive this car it's no trailer
Queen, like I said my dad painted it almost 17 years ago and you can see it's
still very nice, especially for all the miles I've put on it, I drove this
thing to Pennsylvania, South Carolina, here you go right here Carlisle
nationals we actually got second place there in Carlisle Pennsylvania, but yeah
I Drive it no trailer Queen but it just shows if you take care of something you
know you can make it last, I take very good care of it you know I don't do
anything crazy in it and just keep it clean you know keep it waxed, keep all
the dirt off and everything and it's kind of my time capsule, I guess that's
enough talking, let's fire this thing up for you guys
that's what I call the bubbling, you never get tired of that, it actually has
the flowmaster catback with the stock manifold up front, I grew up listening
this all day long and I can't get enough of it, it's just iconic Mustang muscle
car sound for the GT 390, so let's get in there and do a little Rev and then we'll
do a drive off so y'all can hear it alright guys that's going to wrap up the
video, I'd like to thank Scotty for featuring in my car and giving us the
