1968 Ford Mustang

INTRODUCTION: These modified Mustangs certainly arent losing popularity! In fact, Ive recently seen one bring half a million dollars at auction. This one has everything youre looking for- the iconic fastback styling with Shelby inspired looks, a 465-horsepower 408 stroker backed by a 5-speed, factory air conditioning, and a very well executed restoration. Its the kind of Mustang that turns heads, performs as good as it looks, and is a blast to drive.

EXTERIOR: The fastback body design is one of the best of all time, and this one has been tastefully enhanced with Shelby inspired upgrades. It features the steel reinforced scooped hood, upper and lower quarter panel scoops, and the Shelby style dovetail trunk lid with matching end caps. The body is exceptionally clean and straight, the restorer claims it is all original metal with only 2 small rust spots in the doors that were cut out and replaced with metal. The panels fit very nicely, and its finished in a smooth, glossy red paint. The Shelby over the top stripes run from the bottom of the front valance, over the top and end at the bottom of the rear valance, complemented by matching side stripes and Cobra emblems. The windshield has been replaced, along with the weatherstrips and nearly all of the chrome and trim. Up front is a custom grille with inboard fog lamps and out back, the Shelby tail panel features Shelby style taillights and a Cobra gas cap. Its sitting on a set of 17-inch U.S. Mag wheels wrapped in Nitto performance tires, giving it an aggressive stance to match its performance.

INTERIOR: It is very well presented with a fresh, sporty appearance. New carpet covers the floor, and my favorite part is the Hurst 5-speed shifter sticking up through the hump. The bucket seats have been recushioned and upholstered, and in back it features the desirable factory optional fold down rear seat, which is in excellent condition. The door panels and armrests have been replaced. The dash area is looking real sharp, featuring a factory tachometer along with the factory air conditioning controls and vents. A RetroSound stereo powers kick panel speakers while maintaining a classic appearance. Its also equipped with a great looking deluxe steering wheel and an upgraded headliner. Overall, its a very tidy interior.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This engine bay is built to impress! It starts with a 351 Windsor roller block thats been professionally stroked to 408 cubic inches using an Eagle balanced rotating assembly with steel I-beam rods, forged Mahle pistons, and Comp cam. Topped with an Edelbrock intake, Brawler dual feed carb with electric choke, and MSD ignition along with a set of coated headers. It was dyno tested at an impressive 465 horsepower and 501 lb-ft of torque, and the dyno sheet is included. Its dressed with Ford Racing valve covers and matching air cleaner. Up front, billet brackets and pulleys are paired with a polished Tough Stuff alternator and polished A/C compressor. It features modern power steering and power brakes. Keeping it cool is a Champion aluminum radiator with an electric fan and overflow bottle. A chrome Monte Carlo bar helps reduce body flex, and the engine compartment is clean, neatly detailed, and painted black.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and in the jamb, everything is painted the same slick red as the exterior. Inside, the metal is very dry, clean, and solid, finished with a neatly applied spatter paint. Since this Mustang is equipped with the desirable fold down rear seat, it also has the factory access door between the trunk and passenger compartment.

UNDERSIDE: It is clean, solid, and built to perform. It retains its original rust free floors and frame rails. The steering and suspension have been rebuilt, featuring a Flaming River rack and pinion steering system up front. In back, it has CalTracs tubular traction bars to help put the power to the pavement. The brake system has been rebuilt with front disc brakes, and the emergency brake is hooked up and functioning. A fat dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers exits through the rear valance for the perfect muscle car sound. The fuel tank has been replaced. Looking up at the engine, everything is clean and tidy, including a high torque starter. Power is sent through a Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission with a McLeod hydraulic clutch and pressure plate. Out back is a Ford 9-inch rear end with 4.10 posi gears and new axle bearings, making this Mustang as capable underneath as it is on top.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: Can you think of a reason why this isnt the right Mustang for you? It has the looks, the performance, the sound, the comfort of air conditioning, and its been restored to a very high standard. Dont let this one get away-contact us today!
