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! (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/featuredvehicles/1402_1967_indy_pacesetter_ford_mustang_setting_the _pace/)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.
