Once you get the designated area in pristine condition you may want consider feeling that space with this incredible RARE investment vehicle! There's a great deal that can be said about this wonderful little pony. My goal is to explain why I think it is a special car to me (and hopefully will be to the new owner).
Up for sale is my absolutely gorgeous 1968 Mustang Custom! This is a fantastic pony car being offered to the ebay community & it must be seen to be truly appreciated! 1968 was an incredible year for the Mustang! The introduction of the J Code Mustang "that would last only one year was partly the reason for it" ! Collectors have diligently sought after these cars in the last few years mainly because of their rarity! When you also consider the low production Lime Gold color of this pony car its easy to see why Mustang enthusiast love it!
It is important to note that the J Code power plant was placed in the Shelby GT 350!
If you don't have a classic car consider this a great opportunity to get into the game by claiming this rock solid investment! Even if you've been thinking about adding a car to your collection ....you still can't go wrong with this one!
Here's a little history regarding this powerful, eautiful muscle car loaded with deluxe interior & A/C!
Some time ago a friend of mine called me and began to express how impressed he was with a Mustang he found in the Mid West at a car corral.
He has a knack for locating quality cars & actually has been appointed by high end classic car dealerships to find specific models.
However I had the privilege of him contacting me about this amazing Mustang. He was aware that I had been searching for an Ivy Gold J Code Mustang for quite some time.
When he saw this pony he began talking to the owner and asked if there was any chance that he might sell his soon.
The gentleman told him that he had thought about it several times through the years but never could muster up the courage to do so.
Unfortunately my friend went away empty handed but was smart enough to exchange contact info with him. After a couple of years past and surprisingly my buddy got what he considered a very lucky call! The gentleman that he had met several years earlier reached out to see if he still had any interest in the Mustang.
My friend of course explained that he did & shortly thereafter contacted me with the good news! Once I made an appointment to see the car the rest was history.
When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised with what I found after the car cover was removed!
It very easy to appreciate what the vehicle was & what it wasn't. It only took a millisecond to admire the cars overall appearance.
First off this Mustang was (& is) presented in a beautiful shade of LIME GOLD!!! The exterior of this Mustang looks incredible! The rare Lime / green exterior catches everyone's eye & people simply love it!!! The color on the car is far from subtle! You can't take this baby one city block without getting a thumbs up or having someone snap a picture with a camera phone!
The paint on the car is very uniform and shiny (especially in direct sunlight)!
While inspecting this cars exterior you will find no areas of damage or amateur body work to report. This vintage Ford is believed to still retain all of its original body panels. There are no rusty panels to be concerned with here! This pony looks great from all angles!
The second owner spoke of how important it was for him to always check the weather forecast to make sure that he was never caught in inclement weather when driving it. He truly cherished this car and treated her as a member of the family!
He also expressed how much the car was pampered by the original owner.
There were also stories that he told of how the original owner protected it.
I believe that even the most critical enthusiast will be impressed with this cars condition!
Every factory spot weld is still in place.
All of the chrome appointments on the car are in stellar condition! The front & rear bumpers are in excellent shape! They were both replaced not long ago with quality N.O.S. sanctioned ones!
The emblems on this Mustang were also replaced! Each emblem is also M.C.A (Mustang Club of America) approved pieces!
The window edge moldings still have plenty of life left & them as well!
The head light bucket trim, rill edge moldings & chrome back up light retainers are all in incredible shape and look fantastic as well!
Again this Mustang is ready for any venue SHOW OR GO!!!
Now that we have talked about this vintage Mustangs exterior a bit lets see what she has to offer inside!
Upon opening the door of this pony you will find a very inviting Deluxe interior!
This Mustangs interior plays its part well in conjunction with the exterior.
The Ivy Gold vinyl upholstery throughout is in excellent condition! The seat covers are magnificent shape! The complete interior was restored at Old Town Auto Upholstery in Florissant Mo. This company specializes in restoring top notch classic cars!
The seat buns, eat cushions, eat upholstery & almost every other stitch of this cars interior was replaced a very short time ago.
This Mustang makes you look for an excuse to take her out of the garage! Driving this pony for hours on in is a sheer pleasure! Most enthusiast tend to neglect the need to replace the lumbar supporting cushions when restoring classic Mustangs. No worries here, ll of the hard work has been done for you! You will notice a definite difference the moment you sit inside!
The dash pad is in fantastic condition! The dash pad is Raven Black & free from damage.
You may look but you won't find many Vinyl wrapped consoles like this Mustang has! This pony was ordered with all the bells & whistles!
That's right this Mustang really makes you appreciate what seems to be missing in Detroit today! The pride and character that cars were manufactured with way back then!
I don't want to fail to mention that this Mustang has a beautiful set of gauges that includes a functional tachometer (all working)!
The deluxe steering wheel still looks great & floor mounted shifter is still in great shape!
The upholstery shop went the extra mile to make the owner happy!
They also replaced the headliner. It is in like new condition!
This Ford also has a very nice set of factory deluxe door panels!
The door panels are in really helps bring this pony to life! The window cranks, oor handles and other hardware have all been replaced!
The inner quarter upholstery must been seen to truly be appreciated also! The packing tray has stood the test of time & the door jambs are bondo free!
All of the surrounding glass including (front & back windshield) are in wonderful shape!
All & all the interior of this Mustang is in amazing condition! This is truly a special car that is ready to be enjoyed! This car really takes you back to 1968 each & every time you climb behind the wheel!
Something else that shouldn't be overlooked easily is the trunk of this pony car! This Mustang has a very nice molded trunk mat that looks fantastic!
The trunk rails and inner quarters are super solid (Must See)!
Now that I have given several reasons why you should love this Ford...... I will talk about yet why most Chevy guys hate it!
No Mustang can truly be considered a muscle car without having a factory V/8!
The heart and soul of this horse is its STOUT factory (4V 302 engine)! The factory engine block was rebuilt in 2013!
The motor has plenty of giddy up and simply LOVES the open road!
This vintage Ford will push you back in the seat if you open the throttle! Although the car is very user friendly ....it still has enough power to command street respect! She turns over with just a flick of the key at the slightest touch! You really have to drive this one to appreciate it.
LET'S LISTEN TO HER RUMBLE!!!
I absolutely love hitting the freeway in this Mustang! She seems to just hum along without issues for hours at a time! This one almost has a modern feel to it when considering how well she handles. Whenever you reach your point of destination she leaves you begging for more!
This Mustang came equipped from the factory with a respectable 235 Horse Power rating. The car was built to perform. That being said when the motor was rebuilt the machine shop added steel rods, eavy duty pistons, lasma poly rings, tc that seem to really to give this pony an added performance boost!!!
Preventative maintenance has not been overlooked either. The car has recently had new plugs, ires, ap, otor, askets, eals, adiator hoses, elts and just too much more too list!!!
After you plead with your wife to let you buy the car (if she says no) and you decide to purchase it anyways .....you can make your way safely to a buddies house to crash out on the couch (the cars dependable)!
Seriously.....If you have been looking for a classic Mustang that you can enjoy without issue "look no further" !
This Mustang actually performs, andles & drives like a limited ownership vehicle!
The car has had the brake system totally gone through. It has no known issues.
What would a classic Mustang be without a rumbling dual exhaust system? Whatever the answer is "it won't be provided here" . This pony can be heard coming a block away thanks in part to its two chamber performance mufflers that sing a sweet note each and every time you mash the pedal!
Talk about Nostalgia!
Here you have the total package. A classic Ford Mustang that sounds & looks incredible!
But that's not all......To top things off there is a excellent set spank brand new 17 inch Torque Thrust style Ralley wheels (Bull Dog aggressive stance)! Restomod look that "stops traffic" !
We didn't stop there (no expense spared)! This Mustang also has a set of brand new Performance radials at all four corners! The tires don't have 40 miles on them so this Mustang is ready for years on trouble free performance!
Guys driving all the modern muscle cars today can't wait to compliment you when driving this beauty!
Don't miss out on your chance to own a quality investment! You may find another pony but you will be hard pressed to find one in this condition! This Mustang has been meticulously maintained!!!
There is an old saying you get what you pay for "In this case you will be getting more" !
The time, ffort & money spent preserving this car can't be properly measured. That being said I have set a very reasonable reserve on it! She is being offered at a fraction of what it cost to keep her in this condition through the years!
This car is for the person who doesn't want to necessarily spend the super tall dollar to have fun!
Consider this Mustang a blue chip stock in regards to investment quality at a bargain basement price! Just when you thought it couldn't get any better I waited to mention the most important part last!
SHE'S RUST FREE!!!
Buying a rusty car can & always will be a horror story! This is something that shouldn't be taken lightly by the new potential owner of any classic car! RUST REPAIR CAN BE EXPENSIVE!!!
WHETHER THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU OR ANOTHER ....DON'T RUIN YOUR EXPERIENCE BY INVESTING IN A RUSTY VEHICLE!
This Mustang is above reproach when it comes to structural integrity!
This vehicle has ROCK SOLID frame rails, orque boxes, loor boards, uarters, tc!!!
These items alone can make a car priceless in regards to avoiding the frustration associated with replacement panels!
At the end of the day what you have here is an incredible pony car that is ready to enjoyed....needs nothing!
