Nice photo; however, it is titled incorrectly as a 1967 Mustang. It is actually a 1968 Mustang Fastback with the 428 Cobra Jet engine. Clues include the side marker lights on the front fender and rear quarter panel, the Cobra Jet hood scooop (428 CJ was first offered in late '68 Mustangs) and the large tube FE block aftermarket headers visible below the front end of the car (they look like Hooker Competition Plus headers, but it is difficult to tell which brand with certainty). The Cragar S/S wheels are a nice touch, also. Good shot of a nice, and fairly rare, car, done in the way they were typically used back then, instead of the "correct" factory-style restorations so popular now. The first thing we used to do was to get rid of the restrictive exhaust and smog junk, installing headers, and a set of mag wheels and bigger/better tires with more grip, so the engines could breathe and the power could hook up to the ground.
