Fran Cosentino has found and restored a rare '67 Indy Pacesetter Mustang. For years, we have only seen Ford's black-and-white studio photos of a 1967 Indy Pacesetter Mustang. Thanks to Fran Cosentino and Don Hughmanick, we got to see the real thing!
For its first two model years, Mustang had the new pony car market to itself, selling nearly 1.3 million cars during '65-'66. Chevrolet finally got its act together for '67 with the Camaro, which, as a new model, landed the coveted marketing exposure as the pace car for the 1967 Indianapolis 500. To counter the Camaro's publicity in the Indianapolis area, Ford masterminded a special Indy Pacesetter Mustang hardtop, promoting it as a springtime "Pacesetter Sale" to emphasize the fact that Mustang sales continued to "set the pace" for the new pony car segment.
