Mustangs of Houston

Mustangs of Houston is a small independent classic car dealer in Cypress, Texas, in the northwest part of the Houston area. It is run by its owner, Efrain Moreno, and focuses on classic Mustangs, mostly 1960s models, sold either as restored cars or as projects. The business does not publish a founding year, so how long it has operated under this name is unconfirmed.

Who runs it

The company's website names Efrain Moreno as the owner and says he has more than 30 years of experience selecting and showing classic cars in Houston. The site's own account is that his interest in cars began at age 12, that his first car at 16 was a 1979 Camaro, and that a 1967 Mustang convertible with a straight-six engine was his second. These are the owner's own statements and we could not verify them independently. The site calls the business a premier Houston dealer for restored classics.

How the business works

This is a dealer selling cars it owns, not a consignment house. The site says the cars are sourced from across the U.S. and describes them as professionally restored or custom-built. It also lists paint and body work, suspension, electrical and mechanical repair, and general auto repair. Financing, shipping and trade-in terms are not described on the site, so ask about each directly. For a general checklist, see buying from a classic car dealer.

What Mustangs of Houston sells

The featured cars page lists finished cars. When we looked, it showed a 1989 Mustang notchback with a built 5.0-liter 302 and a five-speed manual at $15,500, and a 1966 Mustang convertible described as an "Eleanor" with a 289 small block and four-speed at $42,000. A 1967 Mustang coupe with a 289 two-barrel V8 was marked sold.

A separate project cars page lists unfinished cars, with prices from $6,500 to $24,000 at the time we checked. These included:

• A 1965 Mustang convertible (C code, 289 two-barrel, automatic), described as needing complete restoration.
• A 1964-and-a-half Mustang convertible (D code, four-speed), also needing complete restoration.
• A 1967 Mustang fastback (A code, 289 four-barrel, four-speed) with the metal work done but no engine or transmission.
• A 1967 Mustang fastback (S code, 390) that the site says came from a family that owned it for more than 35 years.
• A 1969 Chevelle SS 396 with a four-speed.

Stock turns over, so treat these listings as examples, not a current catalog. If you want to compare prices elsewhere, browse classic Mustangs for sale.

Reputation

We did not find a verifiable rating or review count for this business, and we could not find a BBB listing. That does not say anything negative about it; small dealers often have a limited online footprint. It does mean a buyer should do their own diligence: ask for the title status and VIN, request detailed photos or video of the car, and consider a pre-purchase inspection by an independent shop, particularly on project cars. The business should not be confused with other Houston-area Mustang shops that have similar names.
