Bring a Trailer Lists Coyote-Swapped 1967 Mustang Fastback

Bring a Trailer has listed a 1967 Mustang Fastback restomod with a 5.0 Coyote V8 and T56 manual. Read key specs, history, and title details.

A 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback has surfaced on Bring a Trailer, tracing a path from a factory A-code 289-powered car to a comprehensively reengineered restomod. The car was built on January 16, 1967, and delivered new to Chaffee Motors in Hawthorne, California. Its production details are supported by a Deluxe Marti Report, based on original Ford factory records.

During a multi-year build in the 2010s, the Mustang was transformed mechanically. Under the hood now sits a 5.0-liter Coyote V8, paired with a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission. Power is sent to a Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.73:1 gearing. This combination has become a benchmark configuration in the restomod world, designed to handle substantial torque and intended for active driving rather than static display.

The chassis was equally reworked. Up front, a Mustang II-style independent suspension with rack-and-pinion steering, tubular control arms, and adjustable coilovers replaces the original setup. A triangulated four-link arrangement with adjustable coilovers is fitted at the rear, while Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes complete the package. The upgrades represent a structural rethink rather than cosmetic enhancement, aligning the car’s handling and braking with its modern drivetrain.

The body was refinished in Springtime Yellow during the build. Originally specified in Dark Moss Green and later repainted blue in the 1970s, the car now features black bodyside stripes. Inside, Palomino vinyl upholstery is complemented by sound insulation beneath the carpeting, Old Air climate control, power windows, center and overhead consoles, and a Ford-branded retro-style stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. The digital odometer indicates approximately 7,300 miles since the completion of the build; total mileage is unknown.

One notable aspect of the listing is the Restored Salvage brand on the Arizona title, indicating that the vehicle was previously restored and inspected before being returned to the road. The designation has sparked discussion among bidders, with some citing potential implications for resale and insurance, while others view it as less significant in the context of a thoroughly rebuilt restomod.

The Mustang was previously listed on Bring a Trailer in 2021 and is now offered by ClassicPromenade of Phoenix. As bidding continues, the car stands as a clear example of how documented factory origins can intersect with modern engineering. It is no longer a strictly original 1967 Mustang, yet neither is it an anonymous custom build. Instead, it occupies a distinct space in today’s market: a classic fastback reinterpreted with contemporary performance hardware and supported by verifiable production history.
