Introduced to widespread acclaim in late in 1964, Ford's Mustang was breaking all sales records by 1967, surpassing the million mark the previous year. Having left the Mustang largely unchanged for the first couple of years production, Ford decided it was time for a revamp in 1967 - driven in part by the appearance on the market of rivals from Chevrolet and Pontiac. The Mustang was available in three body styles, the convertible, notchback coupe and fastback with a wide range of engine and transmission options. The look for 1967 was bigger all round - longer, wider and with more interior space plus revised styling front and rear. The general range of options was extended and automatic Mustangs equipped with the GT package now went by the name GTA. The GT Equipment Group included power front disc brakes, dual exhausts with chrome quad outlets and grille-mounted fog lamps. For the first time, the Mustang was available with the option of a big-block V8, in the form of the 390-cid unit with four-barrel Holley 600-cfm carburettor, 320hp at 4600rpm and lots of torque, turning the Ponycar into a real street fighter.
