Vehicle Description
This 1968 Ford Mustang convertible does it right. It offers a
factory-style package, right down to the color combo...but there
are also some well integrated upgrades in the right places. And
this even has the paperwork to prove it's a real-deal GT
drop-top.
Part of getting the whole package right is also about paying
attention to the fundamentals. For example, because the sheetmetal
is quite straight, it makes for an even more impressive place to
display the factory-correct Candyapple Red. It was resprayed
sometime later in life, and so that helps give it the kind of shine
that you want on a bold GT car. In fact, the included Marti Report
and window sticker prove this was born a desirable GT machine. It
also gets all the appearance pieces correct, like fog lights in the
grille, GT badging (including the gas cap,) dual exhaust, and the
special set of factory wheels with beauty rings. This also means it
wears the correct side C-stripe down the sides, which is
particularly attractive when coordinated with the black convertible
top.
Not only does this look good with the roof in place, but also with
the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a full black
interior. So that GT stripe also coordinates with the inside to
give this a thoughtful and uniform appearance to the total package.
All the best vintage pieces are still in place and look good,
including the front bucket seats, center console, and deluxe
steering wheel. You'll even notice the correct AM radio is still on
display. But in a classic you really want to take out on the
weekends, it also need the right driving music. That's why they've
hidden away in the glovebox an AM/FM/CD stereo that even has modern
Bluetooth.
There's proper V8 power waiting for you under the hood. We love the
1968 cars because it was the debut of the larger 302 cubic-inch V8,
and this GT was optioned to have one right from the factory. So
since this was already born with a little extra power, it seems
appropriate it would get upgraded with a little extra Cobra flair
on the ribbed valve covers and long air topper. The V8 inhales
deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and the H-pipe dual exhaust
has a great sound. The three-speed automatic transmission is a
smooth shifter, and so you know this pony car loves to gallop.
There's even power steering, power brakes, and modern Hankook
cruising tires to make this an easy driver.
This Mustang convertible has a terrific look and the right
paperwork to show people it was born with this desirable
appearance. So when such a solid classic is also a great modern
cruiser, you know you can't let this one slip away. Call
