The Story

This 1967 Mustang coupe rolled off the San Jose, California assembly line on June 15, 1967, wearing Pebble Beige paint, a black vinyl top, and Medium Saddle Haircell vinyl interior. Under the hood was a 289ci 2-barrel V8 paired with a C-4 automatic transmission and 2.79:1 rear axle. The DSO code indicates it was built for the Los Angeles district, and the license plate frames show King Motor Co. in Huntington Park, California, very likely the original selling dealer. The car presents as having spent its entire life in Los Angeles with service and registration records in Pasadena, California.

According to the registration tag on the license plate, this Mustang was driven until 1981, giving it about 15 years of service before being parked. For the past 45 years, it has sat untouched at the same Pasadena address, producing an unrestored example of a San Jose-built first-generation Mustang. The odometer shows 42,659 miles, though actual total mileage is unknown. The excellent windshield condition and local Pasadena-area history suggest it may have been a light-use local car rather than a highway commuter.

The previous owner's middle name was Tina with the last name Turner. She attended Pasadena High School in 1976, with the car's service records dating from 1977-1979, suggesting this may have been her high school and college car. Stacks of music sheets, musical performance cards, and event stubs were found in the trunk. Considering her African-American heritage, she may have come from a family who were fans of Tina Turner, or she may have been a relative of the famous singer.

The seller holds a clean California title. There is a reserve that must be met.
