Vehicle Description
1968 Ford Mustang Fastback GT500 Tribute This Stunning and Ominous
looking machine was the beneficiary of a full rotisserie
restoration less than 10 years ago. Complete with molded body kit,
bumpers, hood and scoop. Bathed in beautiful Night black Paint and
accented with Peppercorn Gray racing stripe, which start at the
bottom of the front body molded bumper and continue through to the
body molded rear bumper panel. The Functional hockey stick cove is
now a "vent" on both sides of the rear quarter, plumbed to cool the
brakes. The B pillar Scoops are functional "vents" and connect to
the interior rear roof vents to cool the rear cabin when opened.
The grille is a simple horizontal multi bar design and flanked by
Upgraded LED headlights. All of the insignia, badges and lettering
that would tell you what this car was born to be have been removed
and smoothed. The only galloping horses found on this beauty are
now just under the hood. To keep this power house glued to the road
are Shelby style wheels wrapped in low profile BFG radial tires.
Interior Keyless entry. As you open the door you'll notice the
clean stainless metal panel inserts surrounded by black vinyl on
the doors. The window crank has been replaced with power window
switches. Keeping everything on the road is it's beautiful polished
aluminum and wood Shelby GT 500 (looking) steering wheel, attached
to a stainless steel steering column (tilt). Bejeweled custom
designed dash with white faced Autometer gauges and a field of more
brushed metal, and sporting Carol Shelby's signature. Vintage air
AC, Pioneer stereo CD Player and Pioneer 6x9 speakers in the rear
compartment. In front of the dash are (2) black leather high back
bucket seats that are amazingly comfortable for any cruise or long
chase through city streets. Keeping your butt in the seats are also
full 5-point harnesses (seatbelts). The black Carpeting is nice and
has no fading or staining. All panels and trim are clean smooth and
black. The trunk is finished neatly in vinyl, carpet and bright
trim. Also in the trunk, the Red Top Optima battery which has been
placed there inside a protective metal box (painted to match the
interior). Very useful but hopefully never needed is a two-point
roll bar, tastefully in place. Drivetrain A Restored engine, 351 V8
bored and stroked, has all top-of-the-line engine components.
Edelbrock Roller rockers, MSD ignition, Holley carb, Hooker
headers, and a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission with a Hayes
clutch and scatter shield. MSD ignition, MSD dist, MSD Wires,
electric fuel pump and fans. Showing 3322 miles. Undercarriage
Includes Heidt's suspension working with an amalgamation of many
other high end parts mix together to have this car handle well, and
cruise with ease. Total Control coil-over front and rear shocks,
rack and pinion steering, Ford 9" rear end, 3.73 gears. We also see
Wilwood calipers on drilled and slotted Wilwood rotors fed fluid by
all stainless-steel lines. A total rebuilt to star status muscle
car, leaves us with a virtually new looking 1968 Mustang GT500,
that spits power, makes great noise, and provides creature comforts
with a dollop of NoS just in case. Beautiful color, AC, leather
seats, high end build that wont be missed when you pass admirers.
Hurry before its gone in a second.
