Engines

• The 200-cubic inch Six with a rating of 120 horsepower is standard equipment with all Mustangs. Where initial cost is the prime requisite, this engine is the logical choice. It provides spirited performance and maximum economy of operation. Features include a seven main bearing crankshaft that provides ultra-smooth operation, a dual element choke for all-weather good starting, and redesigned combustion chambers for maximum efficiency.
   

• The 289-cubic inch 2V V-8 with a 200 horsepower rating is the base optional engine. The most popular of Ford engines, it provides excellent performance in a car of the Mustang's size. Features include the use of regular grade fuel, a new valve train that increases durability, and a new 2-venturi carburetor.
   

• The optional 289-cubic inch 4V V-8 provides a further increase in performance with a rating of 225 horsepower. Under normal driving conditions, it uses only a small percentage of its horsepower, with a large reserve ready for emergency situations. A new Autolite carburetor has been installed for 1967 that increases efficiency and performance through the entire driving range.
   

• The third optional V-8 engine is the 289-cubic inch 4V High-Performance V-8 with a rating of 271 horsepower. Proven in thousands of performance events, this engine delivers outstanding performance with the utmost reliability. Included with this engine are special drive line and suspension components and F70-14 WSW Wide-Oval tires on six-inch rims. Available with the GT Equipment Group and either 4-speed manual or Cruise-O-Matic Automatic at extra cost.
   

• The top engine for 1967 is the 390-cubic inch 4V GT V-8. With its 320-horsepower rating, it provides commanding performance in any driving situation. Like the 289 High-Performance V-8, it includes special drive line and suspension components and F70-14 WSW Wide-Oval tires on six-inch rims. Available with or without the GT Equipment Group.

Transmissions

• Three-speed manual transmissions are included as standard equipment with all engines except for the 289 High-Performance and 390 GT V-8's. These transmissions are the constant-mesh type that fully synchronize in all forward gears.
   

• Available with all engines, the smooth shifting Select Shift Cruise-O-Matic transmission features an extremely versatile shift pattern for 1967. This shifting arrangement permits both manual and fully automatic operation - whichever the driver desires for the immediate road conditions or driving situation.
   

• A four-speed constant-mesh manual transmission is optional with all engines except the 200 CI. This transmission is fully synchronized in all forward gears, permitting up shifts and downshifts at reasonable car speeds without gear clash or noise. When ordered with the 289 4V High-Performance or 390 4V engine it will include a tachometer and trip odometer.

Safety Features

• Dual Hydraulic Brake System with Warning Light - Dual master cylinders control the front and the rear brakes independently. Should there be a fluid loss in the front brakes, the rear brakes will still be operational, and vice versa. If a leak should develop, the driver is alerted by a warning light on the instrument panel that lights when the brakes are applied and signals the need for immediate repairs.
   

• 4-Way Emergency Flasher - The driver can put all four turn signals into operation simultaneously to warn of an emergency situation. The emergency flasher control switch is located conveniently on the right side of the steering column.
   

• Energy Absorbing Arm rests - The 1967 Mustang's new arm rests have energy-absorbing properties in a lateral plane, yet they provide firm vertical arm support with a soft foam cushion. The new design has a polypropylene honeycomb-type core surrounded and filled with urethane foam and covered with sift vinyl. The honeycomb is positioned vertically to give the necessary strength, yet will collapse laterally to minimize the possibility of injury during a collision.
   

• Impact-Absorbing Steering Wheel with Deep-Padded Hub - The impact-absorbing deep-dish steering wheel, pioneered by Ford, is now supplemented by the addition of a deep-padded hub designed to progressively collapse on impact. The hub consists of an inner core of molded urethane foam, an outer layer of polyvinlychloride, covered with soft vinyl. The steering wheel also yields on impact, yet gives firm control when driving.
   

• Rearview Mirrors - A day/night inside mirror with shatter resistant flexible backed glass and break-away or double pivot support and an outside remote control mirror are standard equipment on all 1967 Mustang models.
   

• Positive Door Lock Buttons - To prevent inadvertent opening of car doors from the inside, all Mustang inside lock buttons are of the non-over-riding type. Once the lock button is depressed, the door handle will not override and unlock the door. The driver or passenger must first unlock the door. The driver or passenger must first lift the button, then open the door with the handle.
   

• Turn Indicators with Lane-Changing Signal Feature - This new feature, when used properly, will eliminate driving with the turn signals operating after a lane change maneuver has been completed. The driver holds the turn indicator lever in an intermediate position to signal his intention to change lanes to either right or left. When the lever is released, a spring returns it to the straightaway position, cancelling the signal. Turn signals operate in the conventional way.
   

• Padded Instrument Panel - Safety padding used on the Mustang instrument panel contains extra energy-absorbing properties. The padding is formed to the contour of the instrument panel providing a convenient hood over the instruments to minimize glare and reflection. It is covered with a low-gloss vinyl.
   

• Two-Speed Windshield Wipers and Windshield Washers - Electric powered two-speed windshield wipers give more reliable consistent action under all driving conditions. Windshield washers, when put into operation, automatically energize the wipers. Both washers and wipers feature easy operation and positive action.

Luxury Features

• Full Wheel Covers - Standard on the 2+2 Fastback the cleanly styled wheel covers feature a radial spoke design that emphasizes the full circular wheel cutouts and sports styling of the exterior sheet metal. The center hub is slightly depressed and contains an insert with a Mustang emblem.
   

• Styled Fuel Filler Cap - The convenient center located fuel filler cap features a three-blade simulated knock-off design that adds to the sports décor of the rear styling. The center of the cap contains a plastic insert with Ford and Mustang lettering plus the attractive red, white and blue Mustang emblem. For theft protection, the cap is attached to the body with a firmly anchored hidden cable.
   

• Additional luxury features include:

  • Nylon-Rayon carpeting molded to the floor contour.

  • All-vinyl upholstery in seven rich and durable colors.

  • Twin front bucket seats that are sculptured and foam-padded for maximum comfort and tastefully trimmed in bright metal.

  • Color-keyed all-vinyl headlining in Hardtop and 2+2 Fastback models.

  • Gauges for fuel level, engine temperature, alternator, and oil pressure.

  • Suspended accelerator pedal that gives smooth, responsive action and permits easy cleaning of the front floor area.

  • Courtesy lights with door-operated switches. Hardtop has dome-light; Fastback and Convertible have under-instrument panel lights.

  • 14-inch low-profile tires that offer a smooth ride and excellent stability.
