“My dad bought it from a salvage pool in 1984,” said Thomas Cope. “The original 1967 had a 289 two barrel automatic and was spring time yellow. My dad said we can fix this and we did. That was in 1990.”

“We restore and build custom cars,” said Cope. “I’ve been doing this all my life because my dad does it. We used K&N products on the Mustang because it fits well and compliments the racing style. K&N makes awesome filters that provide excellent filtration. K&N is also cost effective because the air filters are washable and reusable.”
The GT Motorsports 1967 Mustang will be on display at the Sacramento Autorama, San Francisco Rod and Custom, Fresno Autorama, SEMA and various Northern California Good Guy shows.
