Vehicle Detail
I purchased this car from International Auto Group in Pompano Beach, FL about 6 months ago. (They sell exotics and classics. http://www.iagmotors.com/inventory.htm) I love this car, but business requires additional capital, so I've been selling off my cars. I do not know much about it. I was given the description below when I purchased it and so I've just copied and pasted that info into this listing. I've taken it out cruising a dozen or so times and it is just a blast. Tons of fun and attention everywhere you go. Since this car was built over 40 years ago, I can't guarantee a single thing about it, but welcome anyone to come and see it and have it inspected. I have clear Texas title in hand. It is registered and titled personally to myself. Pictures are obviously from previous owner in Florida."1967 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK ACTUAL FAST AND FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT STUNT CAR COMPLETELY BEEFED UP SUSPENSION, STEERING, BRAKES, ROLL CAGE ETC INCLUDING SEPARATE MASTER CYLINDER AND CALIPERS FOR GETTING THE TAIL END WAGGING WHENEVER YOU FEEL THE URGE! AN EXACT REPLICA COSMETICALLY OF THE RB26 POWERED MOVIE CAR, BUT WITH RELIABLE V-8 POWER AND A 4 SPEED TOPLOADER TRANSMISSION FOR PERFORMING THE STUNTS. FROM THE INSIDE LINE TEST ARTICLE: "In The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the fiction is that the hero transplants the powertrain from a Nissan Skyline GT-R into an old Mustang in just one day so he can take on the Drift King that night and prove himself the greatest drifter of them all. In real life, five of the six Mustangs built by the Tokyo Drift production team had American V8s under their hood for reliable power production during filming. Nothing beats a big-inch American V8 when it comes to making power. Inside Line ultimately tested three of the surviving Ford Mustangs — the almost pristine car with the Nissan six and two equipped with 430-cubic-inch Ford Windsor V8s and four-speed "Toploader" manual transmissions. One of the V8 drift cars was clean and ready for show duty, while the other had been battered in every way, but ran strong. All of the Mustangs in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift had Global West suspension pieces and rack and pinion steering in common. And all three had 245/35R19 front and 275/35R19 rear Toyo Proxes T1R tires and Volk Racing Grey GT-7 wheels keeping them off the ground. However, the intercoolers and massive exhaust tips on the V8 Mustangs were just cosmetic; the exhaust actually exited through Magnaflow mufflers forward of the rear axle. While the Nissan-powered Mustang responded to a light touch, the muscle-era power plants and transmissions demanded some beating — a sledgehammer would have come in handy. And while the six-cylinder Mustang idled smoothly, the V8 drift cars seemed to be shaking themselves into a puddle of their constituent molecules. Dip into the throttle on either V8 machine, however, and the engine would roar like a startled lion. A six-cylinder turbo engine may match a V8 in measured performance, but it will never have the charisma of a V8. With at least 375 horsepower on tap, the V8 Tokyo Drift Mustangs could spin their tires with ease — and would, no matter what. The beaten and battered Mustang got to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and consumed the quarter-mile in 14.7 seconds at 96.7 mph. For a drift car built to bash into other cars while wagging its tail violently, that's not bad." FOLKS, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN INSTANT DRIFT CAR, PREPARED BY THE MASTERS IN HOLLYWOOD TO BE THE ULTIMATE IN SAFETY WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET SIDEWAYS IN AN INSTANT, THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU!"
