1968 1/2 R-Code 428ci Cobra Jet Mustang for sale! This is 1 of 1044 rare non-Shelby ''R-Code'' Fastback Mustang.
This genuine 1968 Mustang R-Code is an honest, well-sorted driver that presents exceptionally well. While it has the appearance of a show car in photos, this is not a concours-quality restoration—it's a beautiful classic you can confidently drive and enjoy.
The body is solid and straight with no rust. The quarter panels, floor pans, and frame rails have been replaced, providing an excellent foundation. The paint has a deep shine and presents beautifully overall, with only a few professionally repaired stone chips and a few minor dings consistent with a quality driver. The chrome, stainless trim, and aluminum moldings are all in very nice condition and complement the car exceptionally well.
Power comes from a period-correct 1969 428 Cobra Jet engine. While not the original engine installed in 1968, it is the correct Cobra Jet engine for the era and performs exactly as it should. It starts easily, runs strong, and delivers the unmistakable torque and sound that made the Cobra Jet one of Ford's most legendary big-blocks. The engine is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear axle with 3.50:1 Traction-Lok (Posi) gears, making for an incredibly enjoyable driving experience.
The interior is a very respectable driver-quality example. It is generally in very good condition throughout, with only minor wear expected for a car of this age, including a small tear on the driver's seat. Overall, it presents extremely well and maintains the classic Mustang look and feel.
If you're searching for a numbers-matching concours restoration, this probably isn't the car for you. However, if you want a genuine R-Code Cobra Jet Mustang that looks fantastic, drives properly, and can be enjoyed without worrying about every mile, this is an excellent opportunity.
Finding a genuine 1968 R-Code Mustang at this price point is becoming increasingly difficult. This is the kind of car that can be driven, shown, and enjoyed exactly as Ford intended.
