1968 Ford Mustang

Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio Austin is proud to present this 1968 Ford Mustang, finished in a deep maroon exterior over a black interior, a color combo that just fits the cars personality. Slide into the seat, look out over that long hood, and it immediately clicks why the Mustang took off the way it did. When Ford introduced it in 1964, it changed the game, and by 1968 it had become one of the most recognizable cars on the road.

Turn the key and the 302 CID V8 fires up with a sound that feels right at home in a classic like this. Its built from a 1969 302 block bored .030 over with a .010 under crankshaft, Scat forged rods, and forged pistons. A Comp Cams XE274H cam and Flo-Tek 58cc heads with a 10.5 to 1 compression ratio give it a strong, responsive feel, while the Weiand Stealth intake and Summit 600 CFM carburetor keep everything working together. The Patriot Tri-Y headers finish it off with that unmistakable V8 tone as you roll into the throttle.

Drop it into drive and let the C-4 3 speed automatic do its thing. Its an easy car to cruise in, smooth through the gears and comfortable just rolling along. Power brakes bring it back down without any drama, and upgrades like QA1 coilovers and Global West control arms help it stay composed when the road starts to bend. Cars like this earned their reputation because they were fun without being complicated, and that still comes through the moment youre behind the wheel.

Inside, it keeps that classic Mustang feel. The black interior is simple and driver-focused, with an updated stereo and speakers so you can enjoy the drive with some music if you want. Everything is right where you expect it to be, nothing overdone, just a clean setup that lets you focus on the road ahead.

Out on a back road or just cruising through town, this is the kind of car that makes you want to keep driving a little longer. The sound of the V8, the way it settles into a steady rhythm, and the look of it going down the road all come together in a way that just feels right. This 1968 Mustang sticks to what made them great, while adding the right upgrades to make the experience even better. A Marti Report is included with the car, offering additional documentation on its production details.
