Vehicle Description
Not only does this 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible have an awesome
paint package inside and out, but it's a full restomod build with a
fuel-injected stroker V8, a five-speed to control it, four-wheel
disc brakes, upgraded suspension, and a loaded A/C interior. It all
makes for one impressive pony that was completed only 1,600 miles
ago.
This car is coming off of nearly a quarter-century of long-term
ownership. And about a dozen years ago it was decided to turn this
drop-top into an awesome restomod. Since there's less than 1,600
miles on the odometer, you know the years were all about cherishing
a build that was done with quality. For example, the red paint has
the kind of shine that can still make far newer applications
jealous. The sunlight loves to roll evenly across this glossy
finish, and that makes for an awesome drop-top. Nice body panels
and bright chrome bumpers take care of the classic fundamentals.
But what catches your eye is all the added sporty style. The front
has a mean first impression with the clear tri-bar headlights and
the power bulge of the custom cowl hood. Plus, you have Boyd
Coddington Junkyard Dog wheels staggered with an aggressive 18/18
inches front/rear.
The gunmetal gray convertible top is a very distinct piece that
looks stylish against the red exterior. And if you like the way
this looks, then you'll love taking it down to reveal a full red
and gray two-tone interior. This is an awesome-looking leather
setup that really fits with the car's detailed care. That's why
you'll even appreciate the little things, like the chrome door
handles and color-match convertible boot. A restomod is great at
offering added comfort, and so you have additions like an AM/FM/CD
stereo w/Bluetooth and cold-blowing air conditioning. Plus, power
windows and a power convertible top let you open this one up to the
world without leaving your seat. And that driver's seat is a
terrific place to be. You have the upgraded contoured bucket
borrowed from a Fox-body Mustang. There's also an armrest center
console, sports steering wheel on a tilt column, power steering,
and a full set of AutoMeter Phantom gauges with large speedo and
tach.
You might want to grab your sunglasses before popping the hood. The
clean black inner walls of the engine bay make all those polished
components really pop. This is a 347 cubic-inch stroker motor
topped with FiTech fuel injection. While that's an awesome setup
for most of us, it's just the base of this performance package. It
goes further with an Edelbrock intake, a Concept One chrome pulley
system, steel braided lines, and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan. The Hooker headers add extra power while they also let this
one fire up with a terrific growl. But more than just listen to
these beastly pipes, take a look at the undercarriage shots. There
you'll see Maier Racing suspension components, subframe connectors,
a Currie 9-inch rear, and four-wheel power disc brakes. And the T5
five-speed manual transmission keeps you in complete control, so
you can go from easy cruising to a backroad burner in just a quick
downshift.
Complete with build receipts and service manuals, you can see how
this is the total quality package for someone who loves to drive a
classic and show it off, too. Since that's most of us, you need to
hurry to grab this all-around terrific pony. Call now!
