Last but by no means least, this topless Mustang incorporates one more GT upgrade introduced for 1967, the Competition Handling Package, which among other things, added a stiffened 0.94-inch stabilizer bar and quick 16:1 steering up front along with Gabriel adjustable shock absorbers at the corners.

For this year only, manual-transmission models wore GT identification, while their automatic counterparts were adorned with GTA badges. GT transmissions that year began with a base 3-speed stick, a heavy-duty 3-speed-mandated behind the вЂњHi-PoвЂќ 289 and the 390-and an available Toploader 4-speed, with the latter installed in this case.

Yet another first, a 2-barrel V-8-289/200 HP-with a single exhaust debuted as well for the GT in 1967. Two other 4-barrel V-8s were offered, both 289 CI small-blocks:В the 225 HP Premium Fuel rendition and its 271 HP High Performance running mate. But to cover all bases, Ford also offered a full-width bench seat, a rather rare option that incorporated a fold-down center armrest and remained available up through 1969 and is fitted on this example.В Rated at 320 HP, the 390 CI V-8 beneath the hood also made big news in 1967, representing the breedвЂ™s first available big-block. A sporty interior featuring bucket seats and a floor shifter was standard Mustang fare from the get-go in 1964. Prized options on this particular example include a tachometer, styled steel wheels, air conditioning and FordвЂ™s new-for-1967 tilt-away steering column. And being a California-delivered car, it still has its original emissions plumbing, which wasnвЂ™t mandated on all Mustangs sold nationwide until 1968.

Sadly, all of this reengineering and premium quality doesnвЂ™t come cheap Charge wants to build 499 of these electric ponies and it is charging ВЈ350,000 ($450,000 or в‚¬420,000), considerably more than the ВЈ200,000 it initially announced.Fresh from a nut-and-bolt restoration, this triple black 1967 Mustang GT convertible sports the rare and desirable option combination of the S-code 390/320 HP V-8 engine, 4-speed manual transmission and factory air conditioning. Overall, we really like this Mustang by Charge, and we understand what the company is doing. Its look is still trying to provide an homage to the original, so it does look a bit retro, but with that huge screen, itвЂ™s really hard to pull it off. Everything is gone, having been replaced with a completely new interior that features a big portrait-style infotainment screen, a digital driverвЂ™s display, modern materials and buttons. Unlike the exterior, the interior has no resemblance to the one in the original Mustang.

The vehicle supports DC fast charging at up to 50 kW and Charge says its vehicles use core components from Arrival, ChargeвЂ™s tech partner. Original estimates from two years ago said the range would be even lower, just 124 miles (200 km), but if the vehicle comes close to achieving the new figure, then it should be a fairly usable EV.

Power is drawn from a 64 kWh battery pack that the manufacturer says is good for a maximum range of around 200 miles (320 km) on one charge.
