Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present this excellent 1968 Ford
Mustang GT. The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by
Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang
created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The
Mustang's styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly
popular and inspired a host of competition. It was initially
introduced on April 17, 1964, as a hardtop and convertible with the
fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its
introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the
Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment. With each revision,
the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine
power. The 1971 model saw a drastic redesign to its predecessors.
After an initial surge, sales were steadily declining, as Ford
began working on a new generation Mustang. With the onset of the
1973 oil crisis, Ford was prepared, having already designed the
smaller Mustang II for the 1974 model year. This new car had no
common components with preceding models. This car has recently
finished its restoration with only 185 miles since being a finished
project. The car originally came from California and is an actual
GT from the factory. It has been repainted to the Highland Green
with a stylish black stripe painted on the hood. This car has had
the original set up and 302 replaced with a 428, 4 speed manual,
Ford 9" rear end, and has a 3.73 gearing. The Ram Air hood is
functional and adds an aggressive stylish look to this 1st
generation Mustang GT. This GT has many upgrades including a
digital dash, custom wheels, and even comes with a Marti Report.
The suspension has been lowered with Shelby suspension for a more
aggressive look. If you want to add something light, fast, with a
professional quality build than this is the Gen 1 Mustang for you.
