This is a 1968 Mustang Factory GT 390 4-speed Fastback. It is a true ‘S’ code car. The car has been completely restored from top to bottom. Every bolt and nut was removed, body was installed in a rotisserie and sandblasted to determine the extent of any rust.

I have been retired for many years and do one car at a time. I’ve done 68, 69 and 70 mustangs and an occasional 57 ford. This is one of my favorites. It truly gets a ton of attention wherever I drive it. I have had the car done for approximately 2 years and am now working on a new project so it’s time for this one to go. Whoever buys this car will not be disappointed, there’s really nothing it needs short of tuning the distributor timing range. It really doesn’t have enough range on the advance side. Someone with distributor knowledge could respring the advance correctly and it would probably perform even better than it does now.I am asking for a $500 deposit within 24 hours of purchase using paypal. The balance can be a wire transfer or cash is always welcome. The car will not be released until all funds are in my possession. Any shipping should be handled by the buyer at buyer’s expense. I will be more than happy to help get it loaded. There is a large shopping area right off the interstate for loading onto a transport truck or there’s always room to load it onto your trailer right here at my place. The car is being sold as is where is with no warranties written or implied. Please ask any questions you may have, I’ll do my best to answer, and thanks for looking.Just realized I changed out the stock oil pan with a Moroso 7 qt. since the pictures were taken. I also replaced the stock distributor with a pertronix billet flame thrower along with the corresponding coil. Sorry for any confusion.
