The S-Code was an option for the Ford Mustang GT and was equipped with a number of features that made it a desirable vehicle for car enthusiasts.

My GT390 rolled off the assembly line on June 2, 1967, four days late. On that day, “The Young Rascals” were the current number 1 hit (Hot 100) in the States with the single “Groovin”. Who knows if the workers sang along to that song that day as they made the Fastback?

After more than 2.5 years of searching, I was finally able to find my pony near Düsseldorf. During the first visit to our neighbors, the test drive was a complete failure because the alternator suddenly gave up the ghost.

The heart of the 1967 Mustang S-Code was undoubtedly the powerful 390 cubic inch V8 engine. This powerful engine gave the vehicle impressive performance and made it one of the fastest production Mustangs of its time. Rated at around 320 horsepower, the S-Code Mustang was impressive not only on paper, but on the road as well.
