Mustang home to start its ‘Back2Life’ restoration. Born in San Jose, California on June 20, 1967 with an MSRP of $4437.19, shipped to Bloomington, Minnesota and finding its way to Shelby, we were the 3rd owners to make Denver the new home. Of the 472,209 1967 Mustangs, 943 were Dark Moss Green, 33 were Saddle décor interiors, 26 were GTs, 2 were equipped with tilt-away steering and 1 with styled steel wheels. That ONE car was our new hands-on restoration project.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
Today, after so much blood, sweat, and tears, our beloved Fastback enjoys weekly drives, weather permitting of course, along with its younger brother – our 1992 True Blue Fox. Long live the Mustangs and our beloved classics, whatever they are!
Full frame off restoration occurred in the garage and was completed 5 years later in the summer of 2013. The internet during that time wasn’t the vast resource it is today. To secure NOS parts and restoration services required word of mouth, visiting swap meets and car shows, comparing pictures and making hundreds of phone calls. The fire breathing 390 big block controlled by MSD’s Atomic EFI injection system along with the original C6 were brought back to life. Mid restoration, full convenience control group was added to the factory center console light locations. Special thanks to Pat Callahan and the team at Hopp’s Auto Body Inc. for the incredible body restoration and eye-popping paint work. Final touch was having a full sound and security
