Vehicle Description
Bright, beautiful, and loaded with the best features - this 1968
Ford Mustang has a modern paint, an A/C interior, and a ton of
other great upgrades. But even with all the modern features, you
still get all the right original pieces like the iconic lines and
even the numbers-matching V8 under the hood.
The idea of keeping the original spirit while adding some nice
upgrades begins with the paint. Red Mustangs are icons, but this
one shines a bit brighter than the rest. A more recent and very
professional application means this one has a clearcoat shine
that's miles deep. And because the paint shines so brightly, there
was also a solid investment in the bumpers and trim to get the
brightwork looking just as good. The '68 cars were a bit sportier
than the earlier Mustangs, and you see that in the deeper C-channel
in the profile, concave rear panel, and the deluxe hood with the
cool turn signals embedded within the louvers. This one turns that
attitude up even further with cool upgrades like the darkened
headlights and MB Motoring 15-inch alloys.
Inside you're going to spot plenty more worthwhile upgrades mixed
in with the right vintage elements. For example, the black vinyl
interior looks great against the red exterior paint, and since
there has been an investment here later in the car's life,
everything feels fresher than a car approaching the half-century
mark. The Lecarra steering wheel is an upgrade to a smaller and
grippier sports unit than what came from the factory, and beyond
that is a full set of Dakota Digital gauges that have a modern blue
glow. And more than just performance upgrades, this interior is a
great place to spend some time. The stereo is a modern Pioneer
AM/FM/CD/XM unit that has Bluetooth and an auxiliary input for
modern music players. Plus, the air conditioning is blowing cold
from R134a so the miles just ease away in cool comfort.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 289 cubic-inch V8
block. And you can tell from the pictures, this has received proper
investments over the years. This includes performance upgrades like
a Demon four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and MSD ignition.
Plus, there are great components for reliability like the Optima
red top battery and a Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan -
so this one can run cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C
pumping. There have been more great investments that you'll enjoy
out on the road. For example, Global West suspension components,
the grip of modern Yokohama tires, and traction bars really elevate
the driving experience. Add in a three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, and you have a
pony car you'll easily drive everywhere.
