This 1967 Ford Mustang Is Still Amazingly With Its Original Owner
The owner of this 1967 Ford Mustang bought it new when he was 16 after doing odd jobs and saving up money for several years.
These days, most of the one-owner cars we stumble across are newer – at least, vehicles produced in the past three decades or so. Even in that case, it’s rare to find anything that’s 20 or 30 years old and still with its original owner, as many of us get tired of our vehicles and want to move on, find something better, or just simply want to try something different. However, that isn’t the case with the owner of this 1967 Ford Mustang, because he bought it new as a teen and never let go of his prized possession.
In this recent video from the YouTube channel Dude With an Autotude, we get to meet Clark, who purchased this 1967 Ford Mustang at the tender age of 16, which is amazing enough in its own right. However, Clark actually decided at the age of 11 that he wanted to start working and saving money, and that’s precisely what he did. Between cutting grass in his spare time to saving every dime he received for birthday presents and other holidays, he managed to save up enough dough to purchase this 1967 Ford Mustang back in April of 1967.
Of course, as is typically the case, Clark wound up parking his prized pony car when he got married and began having kids, and it sat for a whopping 40 years as a result. Trouble is, all that sitting around left it in need of a restoration, and Clark simply didn’t have the money to make that happen for a while – a story that we’ve heard time and time again, and one that usually results in either a car that’s forever neglected, or oftentimes, the owner decides to part ways with their car.
However, that isn’t the case here, as Clark simply began saving his money yet again until he had enough to make his 1967 Ford Mustang as good as it was the day he drove it off a dealer lot. Now, the Dark Moss Green beauty looks absolutely incredible, and it’s a nicely optioned car, to boot, with the S-Code 390 V8 topped by a four barrel carb – giving it a stout 320 horsepower and 427 pound-feet of torque and making it a rathe desirable machine at the same time.
Of course, none of that really matters to Clark, who obviously isn’t giving up his stellar 1967 Ford Mustang after holding onto it for decades once he obtained it when he was old enough to drive. No, his relationship with the pony car dates back even further than his wife and kids – a rare phenomenon in today’s world – and it’s one that seems destined to continue for years to come.
