1967 Ford Mustang GT 390
The 1967 Mustang's larger engine bay made Ford's FE-series 390 available in the Mustang for the first time. In GT form, the S-code 390 four-barrel V8 was paired with the GT Equipment Group's handling, braking, exhaust, lighting, and appearance features. Ford listed the engine at 320 gross horsepower and 427 lb-ft of torque.
The configuration could be ordered as a hardtop, fastback, or convertible. A Toploader four-speed or C6 SelectShift automatic are the documented performance transmission paths retained here; an individual car's original transmission, axle ratio, and limited-slip equipment still require its door data plate and factory records.
Published model-line totals account for 356,271 hardtops, 71,042 fastbacks, and 44,808 convertibles, or 472,121 Mustangs overall. Those figures are context for 1967 production, not GT 390 totals. This review did not find a trustworthy public source for GT 390 production split by body, transmission, paint, or axle.
Fog lamps, GT badging, styled wheels, exhaust trim, or an installed 390 do not authenticate a car by themselves. Verification begins with the S engine character and factory documentation, then reconciles the body, GT equipment, drivetrain identifiers and dates, axle tag, paint, and interior trim.
