For Sale: 1968 Ford Mustang in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

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!
