1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Restomod 427 Side Oiler (Raven Black)
Archive Summary:
This 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback is a premier, multi-year restomod build that marries the legendary "Side Oiler" big-block heritage with cutting-edge chassis engineering. Finished in a mirror-like Raven Black, the vehicle features a built 427 cubic inch V8 and a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission. With a Ridetech air ride system and custom steel bodywork, this Mustang achieves a low-slung, aggressive profile while offering the adjustable handling characteristics of a modern performance machine.
Model History:
The 1967 Mustang represented the first major redesign of Ford’s original pony car. To compete with the increasing displacement of rival muscle cars, Ford widened the engine bay and the front track, specifically to accommodate big-block engines like the 390 and 427. The fastback body style from this year, with its sweeping roofline and functional side vents, is widely considered one of the most beautiful automotive designs of the 20th century, serving as the foundation for the original Shelby GT500.
Culture Reference:
The 1967 Fastback is a permanent fixture in the "cool" hall of fame, most notably immortalized by Steve McQueen in the 1968 film Bullitt. While McQueen’s car was a Highland Green GT, the blacked-out '67 Fastback has carved its own niche in pop culture as the "sinister" alternative. The use of a "Side Oiler" engine in this build is a massive nod to Ford’s 1960s racing dominance; the 427 Side Oiler was the powerhouse that propelled the Ford GT40 to victory at Le Mans, making this Mustang a true tribute to Ford’s "Total Performance" era.
Powertrain & Chassis Specifications:
The vehicle is powered by a legendary 427 cubic inch Side Oiler V8, a racing-derived engine known for its unique oiling system designed to handle sustained high-RPM use. This is mated to a Tremec T56 6-speed manual transmission. The chassis is fully reengineered with a Mustang II style front suspension and a Fab 9 4-link rear end. Stopping power is provided by a massive Wilwood 4-wheel disc brake system featuring 14-inch rotors and 6-piston calipers, all sitting on a fully adjustable Ridetech air ride setup.
Styling & Body Modifications:
The exterior features custom steel bodywork that sharpens the classic lines, finished in deep Raven Black. The interior is a bespoke creation, departing from the standard factory vinyl to a premium custom Black and Tan leather. Modern cabin comforts include Vintage Air A/C and a high-fidelity custom sound system anchored by dual 12-inch subwoofers. The car features a clean, bumper-tucked look that emphasizes the purity of the fastback silhouette.
Factory Identifiers:
This 1967 model is identified by its concave tail panel and the integrated side scoops that were unique to the '67 and '68 model years. The widening of the 1967 body is what allows this specific build to house the massive 427 powerplant while maintaining proper suspension geometry.
