1967 Ford Mustang Unknown

In 1967 Fords Mustang saw its first major redesign. For the first time since its launch the car faced some serious competition. This resulted in Ford evaluating the Mustangs strengths and weaknesses. In addition to the Pontiacs Firebird Mercurys Cougar and Plymouths Barracuda Chevrolet had plans to roll out their new Chevy Camaro muscle car. This resulted in Ford duking it out with its competition by creating a more muscular and powerful Ford Mustang. Feeling pressure from their competition Ford needed to make the Mustang more powerful so it could keep up with its competitors. The answer came in the form of a larger car. Although the wheelbase remained the same at 108 inches the length of the vehicle was increased by two inches resulting in 183.6 inches from front to back. The car also featured a front-suspension track that was widened by 2.5 inches. Another notable change to the 1967 Ford Mustang included side scoops that were painted to match the color of the car. In the past the Mustangs side scoops were chrome plated in design. The new scoops more closely resembled real intakes than in previous model years.
