Vehicle Description
This ONE OF A KIND 1968 Ford Mustang was acquired more than 25
years ago by the seller, who converted the car to a roadster. Over
a period of fifteen years the roof was removed, the exterior was
media-blasted, the windshield was shortened, the chassis was
reinforced, and a speedster clamshell was molded into the bodywork
along with a Shelby-style hood, rear spoiler, taillight panel, and
side scoops. The car was refinished in blue with silver stripes,
and the interior was refreshed with Recaro bucket seats, Sparco
harnesses, and a Kenwood sound system. Power is supplied by a
fuel-injected 427ci V8 paired with a Tremec T5 five-speed manual
transmission, and additional equipment includes an Edelbrock intake
manifold, MSD ignition, Magnaflow exhaust, 17? Team III wheels,
lowered suspension, Baer disc brakes, a roll bar, chassis bracing,
a Grant steering wheel, and AutoMeter instrumentation. This
second-generation Mustang is now offered with a binder of manuals,
receipts, and dynamometer results as well as a clean Washington
title in the seller's name. The car was delivered new as a coupe
and has been built as a speedster with a shortened windshield and a
molded fiberglass tonneau cover. The exterior has been refinished
in blue with silver top stripes and replacement brightwork, and
features include a Shelby-style two-scoop hood with vents, side
scoops, a roll bar, and a LeMans-style fuel-filler cap. The
aftermarket rear valance, side skirts, trunk corners, and rear
spoiler have been molded into the body, and the door handles have
been removed and the resulting holes filled. The paintwork and
exterior trim are shown in detail in the photo gallery below,
including imperfections noted by the seller. The seller also notes
that the fog lights are inoperable. Halibrand-style 17? Team III
wheels with three-ear spinners are mounted with 235/45 front and
255/45 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tires, which show 2017
and 2019 date codes. The car has been lowered, and braking is
handled by four- and two-piston Baer calipers on cross-drilled and
slotted rotors. The cabin features manually adjustable black Recaro
bucket seats with four-point Sparco harnesses. A Shelby-style
console and door panels with aluminum trim have been added along
with power windows. A three-spoke Grant steering wheel with a
Shelby horn button sits ahead of AutoMeter instrumentation that
includes a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer. The
odometer shows 1,500 miles and is said to have been reset following
completion of the build; true mileage is unknown. A Kenwood head
unit plays through a custom audio system that includes four
speakers fitted into the speedster cover, beneath which lies
additional audio equipment and a body-color welded crossbar. Two
additional speakers are installed in the kick panels in the front
footwells, and the trunk is wired for subwoofers. A fuel-injected
427ci stroker V8 supplied by Coast High Performance makes use of an
Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold, MSD ignition, aftermarket
pulleys, an Aeromotive fuel pump, a Griffin aluminum radiator, and
Magnaflow exhaust. A Fuel Safe fuel cell has been installed. The
power-steering fluid, coolant, and oil reportedly were changed in
preparation for the sale. Power is delivered to the rear wheels
through a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9?
rear axle with a limited-slip differential and 28-spline axles.
Traction bars and underbody braces have been added. Additional
photos of the underside are presented in the gallery. Dynamometer
results from 2012 show that the engine produced 406 horsepower and
441 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels. A replacement cost list
showing over $115k invested, additional photos as well as a binder
of documentation including manuals and receipts can be provided by
the seller upon request. Financing and delivery available Call text
