A timeless classic in a great color and an affordable price. This 1968 Ford Mustang checks all the right boxes with investments in the rebuilt 289, paint, and plenty of other care. But really, you already wanted it just because how something this cool is so easily within reach.This Mustang really has a great period-correct premium appearance. Highland Green is the color you want your '68 'Stang. It's a one-year only hue that is shared with the Bullitt Mustang, and it pays tribute to Ford's industrial history. The consignor says this was applied in 2015, so that's why you can see such a nice modern luster. But as shiny as the paint is, it's no match for stellar condition of the chrome on places like the bumpers, grill, taillight surround, rocker panels, and the Mustang badging on the fender. This one also doesn't miss out on the details either with the premium black vinyl roof and GT-style wheels. And every classic car person loves seeing the Deluxe hood with provisions for functional turn signals for the driver embedded in the vents. Inside the black vinyl bucket seats do a great job with matching the exterior roof. It looks great and retains the nice ribbed pattern that's repeated in the back seat and on the door panels. The driver gets the great round gauge package that came on later versions of the first-gen Mustangs, and ahead of that, we are delighted to see no one has traded the original premium steering wheel for an aftermarket unit. In fact, the only major component that did not come from the factory is the AM/FM radio. This upgrade to a more versatile tuner and cassette player blends nicely into the original knob-style radio opening.This is a C-code Mustang, and so you get Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. It looks fantastic with it big blue block, shiny Holley air cleaner, and upgraded valve covers. But more than just looking great, it runs like a champ thanks to less than 700 miles on it since a full rebuild. Underneath this reliable style is an extra kick of performance and rumble thanks to Hooker Competition headers and 2.5-inch dual exhaust with H-pipe and Flowtech muffler. But more than just a superior muscle car sound, this Mustang will be a great cruise-in friend, thanks to easy driving features like the three-speed automatic transmission, radial tires, and power steering.An affordable icon that's turnkey ready to show off. It even comes with the Marti Report to give you something extra to feature at the car show this weekend. It's a desirable classic that's ready to run for the first person quick enough to harness this well-sorted pony. Call today!!
