1967 S code Question

[Tiny]

I'm looking at a 67 S code Coupe that has a particular instrument cluster. (see Image) The image shows the odometer up to 160MPH.  Is this correct?  The Marti Report indicates the car has GT equipment Group with Tacho and Trip Meter.  All of the images I can find on Google only show 120MPH odometer.
Can you assist
cheers

Hey Tiny,
These are not the original gauges, they are 3 3/8” AutoMeter Speedo / Odometer and RPM gauges.
They are very good brand Aftermarket gauges!
The small gauges are not original either.

If you did want original gauges they may be possible to re-fit, but you may have to reconnect the dash voltage regulator?

Original gauges are very small and hard to see, I have fitted 5” AutoMeter gauges to my dash, with a bit of cutting out, they are easier to read.
Cheers Phil.

Excellent thanks Phil.  I'm looking at buying this Mustang so I am looking at all of the things that I would need to do to bring it back to original as possible.  The mustang is an S code and has the GT equipment Group in the Marti Report.  I believe it is a genuine GTA.  Is there something on the car that definitely defines it as a true GT?  The 65-66 GT's have the rear exhaust mount frame rail anti-crush sleeve fitted that is something that is very hard to fake, does the 67 GT have something similar.

Cheers Phil

thanks for the reply and info.  through the research I have done so far any Marti Report that identifies the vehicle as having the GT Equipment Group is a GT but I will certainly speak to the owner and obtain other info and check the vehicle for the GT Equipment items.

thanks again

I'm not an expert on the earlier 60's Mustangs but I am sure from what I've read that if it's a genuine GTA, then it's a GT equipped with an automatic transmission.  Hence the A in the name.

67FBGT - just a correction in one comment you made, the factory dual exhaust on a 65/66 was exclusive to the GT. If you wanted a dual exhaust on a non GT car, it would be installed by the dealer and it would mount differently to the GT so you would not have the reinforced rear rails. The only exception is the K codes (that had a FACTORY dual exhaust other than a GT)

That might be the case for 67’s but I am specifically talking about 65/66’s which you commented on. A Marti report can tell you all about 67’s. I am no expert on 67’s but ..,

65/66 FACTS-
1.  The GT in 65/66 was the only car to have a FACTORY twin exhaust system with reinforced rails. The non GT K codes also had a FACTORY twin system without reinforced rails (unless it was also a GT)

2. The factory twin exhaust system was a unique feature to the GT and K codes ONLY. I am not talking about non factory equipped cars or cars mocked up to look like GT’s. Besides, doctoring rear reinforced rails is near impossible to do.

3. Every other 65/66 car had a factory single exhaust

4. Factory Reinforced rear rails in 65/66 = Factory GT   PERIOD..

Can you tell everyone which other car in 65/66 had factory reinforced rear rails that was NOT a factory GT??????

‘Mistake’ cars would be less than 0.1% . Im talking about the Norm here. If you found a mistake car as you say, you would keep looking for other signs.   Lets leave it at that

I have heard all sorts of BS about what Ford did and didn’t do without any proof or documentation. Its just a way of owners trying to justifying their cars existence !! Over and out

[barnett468]

I had a 66 a code with disc brakes and factory duel exhaust and it was not a gt. It is the only non gt factory dual exhaust car I have ever seen.

How do you know it was factory installed and not dealer installed??  More than likely it was added by dealer.
