Real S code 390! A 4 speed manual and fastback make it even more
desirable. The rebuilt original engine and transmission elevate it
to the next level. California car with all original metal. I bought
this car from a standup guy that I've known for decades, he's
outgrown driving stick. He was a Mustang parts dealer for years and
restored several Mustangs that I purchased. My point is I got this
from a Mustang expert and it's a really exceptional car!
EXTERIOR: All original rust-free metal on this southern California
car! The paint is over 20 years old, repainted Raven Black. It was
laid out with expert precision then polished to a smooth and slick
finish. Literally, I can shave in the reflection. Looking down the
side of the body it is absolutely straight as an arrow with smooth
contours and crisp lines. All the panels have been beautifully
aligned, and the doors close easily with minimal effort. All the
glass, rubber seals and fuzzy strips were replaced. It is equipped
with dual side mirrors. All the chrome has a lustrous shine. It has
turn signal indicators built into the hood and the fastback vents
are functional. The front grille is in great shape and it has GT
fog lights. It's rolling on a tasteful set of 5 spoke mags that are
wrapped in radial tires.
INTERIOR: Everything looks great inside! The lowback bucket seats
are recovered, and the folding rear seat was also done with
matching vinyl. It has a factory tachometer and a rare tilt wheel.
The aftermarket center console can easily be removed. The Hurst 4
speed manual shifter sits proudly front and center. The headliner,
rear view mirror, dash pad, gauge bezel, stereo, steering column,
steering wheel, door panels, kick panels, and carpeting have all
been replaced. The functioning side vents can be opened and closed
by sliding levers. All the interior lights are also working.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: What a rare treat! The original 390 V8 is still
in place, it was totally rebuilt and upgraded with tri power
carburetors. It now makes close to 400 hp! We verified the casting
code and date which lined up perfectly. It's equipped with power
steering and power brakes. All the hoses and lines have been
replaced and the engine still has a fresh look. It's nicely dressed
in ribbed aluminum valve covers and matching oval air cleaner. The
battery is properly secured. The horns and squirters are both
hooked up. The underside of the hood, firewall, and fenderwells are
all neatly painted black.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted slick just like the body. The weatherstrip and latch
mechanism were replaced. Inside under the vinyl mat is all clean
and solid metal with neatly applied black paint. It also comes with
a spare tire that has a matching vinyl cover.
UNDERSIDE: All the steering components were replaced and it has an
original style power steering ram. Up front has a swaybar and the
suspension was rebuilt also. The rear suspension has new leaf
springs and shocks etc. It has front power disc brakes and the
e-brake is hooked up. The dual exhaust system is totally fresh with
a cross pipe, Xcelerator mufflers and the correct splitter tips
exiting under the rear valance. Looking up at the totally rebuilt
original 390 engine it is painted Ford Blue and is very clean. The
original top loader 4 speed manual transmission was also recently
rebuilt and looks great too. A fresh driveshaft leads back to a
nice looking 9" posi rear end with a tag that designates it's for a
1968 Mustang GT with a 390. It is equipped with 3.25 gearing. Frame
connectors are nicely welded in place. The floors are all solid
rust-free metal with neatly applied black paint.
SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this car and we
repaired the reverse lights, replaced the horn switch, repaired the
pitman arm, and repaired an exhaust leak.
Black is beautiful! And this original Mustang GT with the original
engine and transmission is no exception. Do not hesitate to push
the "buy it now" tab, because this desirable and quality built
Mustang will quickly gallop out of our showroom!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide

vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
