For Sale: 1968 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

This 1968 Ford Mustang combines some vintage details, a commanding color combo, and V8 power to make this feel like a true classic with cruiser appeal.

Red is a bold and iconic color on a classic Mustang. This one has the suitable gloss and shine to nicely show off the good body panels with deep C-channel creases running down the sides. This quality feeling continues with details like the full trim and brightwork package that deliver a glowing presentation. And there are excellent vintage features everywhere, from the classic wheel covers to the deluxe hood. It all makes a solid-looking cruiser that will create plenty of people in far more expensive cars jealous when you pull up next to them at the stoplights. And that's the heart of the appeal in this one. It has an attractive style, but nothing here will make you nervous about getting out there and driving it at every chance.

The black interior is a tasteful contrast to the red exterior, and like the exterior, it's all about showcasing a vintage car that is easy to drive. The good vinyl upholstery, dark carpeting, and clean door panels give this coupe a sleek and sporty feel. You may update a few features - there's even an 8-track radio still on display - but we kind of like how this one feels quite vintage, right down to details like the 1968-correct steering wheel and the working dome light.

The 289 cubic-inch V8 is a legendary displacement for the first-gen Mustangs, so it's pretty nice to have it under the hood of this C-code coupe. The motor even looks quite stock with the big blue air grabber and the full blue engine underneath. It's nothing fancy, just attractively bright and robust. Clean wires, belts, and hoses are part of the fundamental appeal, too. Overall, it's a strong-running powerhouse that makes for the heart of a good cruiser. This easy feeling is furthered by the smooth-shifting, three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and modern touring tires.

This classic pony car looks good from day one, and we bet you're even thinking about the easy upgrades that may release a few more horses to get this coupe rally galloping. It's the benefit of owning a well-priced and solidly-presented icon. Call now!
