1967 Ford Mustang Coupe 289

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong. 

The Generous Collection debuts with Part 1 offering over 200 cars in October, all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. Many additional lots will be offered in the coming months. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1967 Ford Mustang marked the first major redesign of the iconic pony car since its debut in 1964. Responding to customer demand for more interior space and improved handling, Ford enlarged the Mustang’s dimensions slightly while preserving its sporty character. The 1967 model featured a more aggressive front grille, concave taillights, and side scoops that enhanced its muscular appearance. 

Under the hood, the Mustang offered a wider range of engine options, including the 302ci V8 in this car. This year also introduced the first big-block engine in a Mustang, making it a serious contender in the muscle car market. 

Inside, the Mustang gained a more refined dashboard layout and improved safety features, such as a dual-circuit braking system and optional shoulder belts. Trim levels included the base model, the luxurious Mustang Grande, and the high-performance GT. 

The 1967 Mustang was also the first to be built at Ford’s new San Jose assembly plant, expanding production capacity to meet growing demand. With its blend of style, performance, and affordability, the 1967 Mustang helped solidify the car’s legendary status and set the stage for even more powerful variants in the years to come.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential, however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning to both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite beginning Monday, November 3 through Wednesday, November 19. No cars can be retrieved prior to November 3 and any lots remaining after November 19 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
