Let Me Tell You About the Owner...

Our partner and long-time friend Doug met up with Rick recently out in Arizona and took a look at his great project Mustangs!  Rick is a body and paint man from way back, with over thirty years of experience.  He currently works on high-dollar exotic and luxury cars as an occupation and classic Mustangs as a hobby.  He has two, both of which he is selling for financial reasons--a 1967 GT Fastback and a 1966 Coupe.  He has had the '67 since about 1978, so he knows a lot of its history.  He personally did bodywork restorations on it twice, back around 1980 and more recently in the mid-1990s--so it has a lot of non-original body metal, but the frames are solid and original and the Mustang itself is rust-free.  He pulled the original A-Code 289 4v V8 and it is currently in mid-rebuild, and this will be included in the sale.

Rick's other Mustang is a 1966 Coupe that is all numbers-matching and has all original sheet metal.  He and his family have had this Mustang in their family since 1969; he drove it as a teenager and finally inherited it in 1988.  When his father owned it, he painted it Springtime Yellow, away from its original Seafoam Green, and Rick kept the color upon beginning the on-and-off-again restoration process that began in 1992, for sentimental reasons and to honor he and his father's Mustang tradition together.  Now its time for Rick to pass on his family Mustangs to a new owner to carry on their journey.

Thank you for helping us save this beauty!  She needs to be in the right hands: someone that will garage her, restore her, and love her.

MustangOnlyOne Summary:

What makes this 'Stang so great is that it is a 1967 Ford Mustang GT Fastback that has had all the body and metal work completed and has a new, top-quality Urethane paintjob.  It is a Volvo color, the closest Rick could get to this Mustang's original Burgundy Metallic color.  It currently has a non-running 289 V8 in it, but Rick has the original A-Code 289 4v V8 that is in the middle of being rebuilt--you may have to finish it up.  He also has tons of trim and chrome pieces, including the original bumpers (which need re-chroming), as well as virtually the entire interior, including a roof console, but not the carpet nor headliner.  He also has all the glass except for one of the windshields.  It has a 4-speed toploader manual transmission, a 9" rear end, power brakes with discs on the front, and power steering (though that needs rebuilding).  It came with factory A/C, but it was removed before Rick got the Mustang, though he still has a lot of the minor components.
