Muscle Cars: 1967 Mustang Hardtop by Craig Borden

It is a 1967 Hardtop Mustang with a 1970 429. It has a Lincoln Versailes 9" rear axle and 4 wheel disc brakes. I currently have a C6 auto trans but hope to upgrade that to a 5 speed soon.

I haven't had it on a track but it has had a few little modifications. The 429 being one of the first. I have some Shelby/Eleanor body mods too. It has Granada front spindles, aluminum driveshaft, custom console and gauges in the dash.

Most of the work I did myself, my wife re-did the seats and headliner. My boys have helped a lot too. I've been working on it since 1990 and it's still not done! I did have a shop paint it.
I got it in 1990, I traded it and received some money for my 1st car which was also a 67 Mustang that I got it in Northern Illinois (rust belt).

The 1967 Hardtop Mustang with a 1970 429 is special to me because, I guess the fact that I have had it so long and never gave up on it. I started it with the intention of haveing it done in a couple years but a lot of things changed and it took a back seat for a while. To me it's a continuation of my 1st car that I swapped so I could buy a house.
