67 HiPo questions

Rick67_old · June 25, 2007 at 9:43 AM

I am new to this board and I have a few questions concerning '67 HiPo 289 Mustangs. Did all '67 289 HiPOs come with power brakes? Should the exhaust system have the transverse muffler ahead of the gas tank? (Can anyone direct me to a photo of the correct exhaust?)Were white letter tires available on '67 HiPos in 1967?, (I know Shelbys had them). Thanks!

Here are some pictures for you these are of a 1967 mustang. I think it is a HIPO, but not sure, it's not mine.

Good luck with the model and post picture when done.

As I recall, all '67 K kars were either GT or GTA equipped. So yes, all did have pwr disk/drum brakes.

Some of the answers would depend on what part of the year you are looking to represent. There were a fair amount of running changed in the engine compartment - if you doing a really accurate model)

Don’t believe ALL had power brakes but I would guess most did.

All would have a transverse muffler with resonators.

No raised white letter tires for a "regular" 67 that I can think of
