A very rare car. It has the $388 Competition Handling Package which included 15" wheels and tires along with 15" Galaxie wheel covers. This package was standard on the 67 Shelby Mustangs.

It was also a required option if you wanted the HiPo 289. Ford priced this engine option sky high as it wanted to sell 390's instead. That's why there are so few 67 HiPo Mustangs. First you could only get it with the GT option ($205). Then you had to order the CHP ($388) and finally the HiPo motor ($433). Total cost = $1,026! Almost twice the price for a Hemi ($564). The only reason Ford kept the HiPo 289 alive in 67 was for their Trans Am racing efforts and their committment to Sheby for this GT350 Mustangs.
