Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this fully restored 1968 Ford
Mustang GT for your consideration. This GT is finished in a
Wimbledon white paint job that shows very well and pairs great to
the dark red interior, making this color combo pop! Powering this
pony is believed to be the original, numbers-matching 302ci V8
paired to a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. This
Mustang comes with a set of five-spoke wheels for a more modern
look - if that is not for you, we have the original GT wheels with
tires as seen in the photos. This GT was restored in the mid-'90s
and still shows very well because of proper storage, maintenance,
and care. If you are in the market for a nice driving example
classic Mustang, this GT is the car for you!

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first significant redesign of
the original model. Ford's designers began drawing up a larger
version even as the original was achieving sales success, and while
"Iacocca later complained about the Mustang's growth, he did
oversee the redesign for 1967."The major mechanical feature was to
allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine. The overall size,
interior, and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes
included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome
(1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and
usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes. The high-performance 289
option was placed behind the newer 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) 390 cu
in (6.4 L) FE engine from the Ford Thunderbird, which was equipped
with a four-barrel carburetor. During the mid-1968 model year, a
drag racer for the street could be ordered with the optional 428 cu
in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet engine which was officially rated at 335 hp
(250 kW; 340 PS) all of these Mustangs were issued R codes on their
VINs.
