1967 saw a major makeover for all the Mustang's body styles, although wheelbase remained at 108 inches, the track width was increased as was the overall length and weight.

Many new luxury options became available with the new body, such as tilt-away steering wheel, comfort-convenience group, cruise control, dual reservoir braking standard with power disks optional up front, in-dash air conditioning, exterior decor group, to name a few.

With the Deluxe Interior option, molded door panels sported brushed aluminum inserts as did the dash and instrument trim. Overhead console, clock and fancy seat backs made of plastic with bright metal trim added to the luxury effect.

The sales stimulating ''Sports Sprint'' option's main features were a louvered hood with integrated turn signal indicators and a chrome plated air cleaner lid with a Sports Sprint decal.

Generic Motors was slow to respond to Ford's quick selling pony car and introduced their Camaro as an attempt to capture a small portion of the market. And it did just that.

In 1967 a total of 474,121 Mustangs were produced, while Camaro could only muster a figure of about half. Mercury's new entry, the Cougar sold around 150,000 units.

Mustang's new larger body was designed to accommodate the optional 390 G.T. engine in anticipation of competition from Camaro's SS-396. Other engine options remained unchanged from 1966. 1967 was the last year for the optional 271 h.p. engine and are even rarer than earlier examples.

Once again Carroll Shelby came to Ford's rescue by replacing the 390 with a hopped of version of the 428 police interceptor engine or even the famous 427 ''side oiler'' for a fortunate few. Shelby's dual four barrel engine and sassy fiberglass body components gave this street racer an intimidating image that was unmistakable. No racing versions of either the 289 powered G.T. 350 or the G.T. 500 were offered for the 67 run. A total of 3,225 Shelbys were produced this year.

This was to be the final year that Shelby was able to perform his conversions at his Los Angeles location, as Ford was beginning to offer their own special editions that would soon become direct competition to the Shelby program.
