Vehicle Description
How do you get a restored dream machine, save thousands $$$$$, and
get some great upgrades? A car like this 1968 Ford Mustang GT350
tribute offers you everything from a performance-built V8 to
ice-cold A/C. It's truly the best of everything.
This was clearly a build that spared just about no expense to make
this fastback spiritually very close to its '68 Shelby cousins. All
the important stuff is here, including a fiberglass hood, hood
pins, extended nose, fog lights, quarter panel scoops, and trunk
lid spoiler. The wide taillights even have the cool sequential turn
signals, and there's a snake-bitten gas cap in the center. There's
correct badging all around the car, and no one will overlook the
iconic Shelby 10-spoke wheels. So yes, this total package will
easily be a favorite of even the experts. Plus, the bright glossy
red with all the correct striping on the top and down the rocker
panels creates one of the boldest packages around.
The investment didn't just stop with the exterior. The premium
black vinyl buckets look so good that they have to be part of a new
package. The same can go for the door panels, carpeting, and dash.
Plus, a newer AM/FM digital tuner with iPod input and ice-cold air
conditioning heightens this luxury feeling. But more than just
premium, this is a true sports car. So we love how the dash panel
and center console have been upgraded to brushed stainless, which
really emphasizes the sporty feeling. And because owning a classic
Shelby Mustang is all about the driving experience, and the
wood-rimmed steering wheel is drop-dead gorgeous. Beyond that is a
full gauge package with a large speedo and tach.
The full Cobra upgrade continues under the hood. The long air
topper and valve covers immediately grab your attention. And the
longer you admire, the more you appreciate the full tidy setup. But
more than just look great, this V8 has all the right go-fast
goodies. The consignor says this is the original 289 cubic-inch
powerplant, and it was rebuilt in 2013 to include an Edelbrock
Performer four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, Comp
Cams camshaft, Mallory billet electronic distributor, Mallory
Hy-Fire electronic ignition, and Scott Drake Tri-Y headers. And
there has been less than 350 miles put on this package since
completion! Plus, the suspension has nice upgrades like the thick
sway bar up front and Traction Master traction bars in the rear for
true Shelby-style handling. And when you add in the C4 three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, you
soon realize that this tribute has been upgraded to be a great
anytime classic.
The sale comes with the build receipts. It proves there has been a
huge investment in time and money to make sure this is a total
package that looks like a Shelby on the outside and keeps you
comfortable on the inside. It's time to enjoy the best of
everything in one cool Mustang. Call now!
