The 1960s were a wild and crazy time for the American auto industry, with a never-ending tide of cars rolling off of assembly lines and onto dealership lots. These dealers would then add a host of extra options, from performance mods to a few stickers and badges, in a bid to extort a little more money from car buyers. This is what gave us cars like the Yenko Camaro, and the Ford Mustang Continental.

The what? The Mustang Continental, a rare dealer-installed package that popped up on Hemmings Auto Blog for sale. Adding faux-wood paneling to a ‘67 Mustang probably doesn’t do much for its value, but it’s an interesting talking point for the local car show.

Taking the name of Lincoln’s top-of-the-line car and applying it to a Mustang appearance package seems a bit disingenuous of the car dealer if you ask us. The only significant modifications appear to be what the seller claims is a Tilt Swing-away steering wheel with a woodgrain handle, and the aforementioned wood paneling on the Mustang’s exterior. Not the kind of stuff you expect to entice big bids, but unique features that help it stand out all the same. Let’s not forget the Continental-esque spare tire rack.

More importantly, this Mustang is motivated by a 289 V8 backed by an automatic transmission, and with just over 95,000 miles on the odometer, it has somehow managed to spend nearly 50 years driving, but rust-free. With a rather reasonable asking price of just $23,000 for a well-kept and unique ‘67 Mustang, this might be the ride you want for cruising the local car shows. One upgrade we’d recommend, however, is an interior worthy of the name “Continental.” The vinyl seats just don’t cut it in this day and age.
