The 1968 Ford Mustang GT remains one of the most iconic American
muscle cars ever produced, celebrated for its aggressive styling,
powerful V8 engine options, and historic pop-culture legacy.The
1968 Mustang GT Fastback achieved legendary status after starring
in the 1968 film Bullitt. Driven by Steve McQueen, a modified
Highland Green GT Fastback engaged in a groundbreaking, 10-minute
car chase through San Francisco. This cemented the '68 Fastback as
a permanent symbol of cool in automotive history.The GT Equipment
Group was strictly a performance and appearance package available
for V8-powered hardtops, fastbacks, and convertibles. The engine
lineup included:- 302 cu in V8: Introduced in 1968 to replace the
289, pushing 230 horsepower.- 390 cu in "S-Code" V8: A formidable
big-block engine producing 325 horsepower.- 428 cu in Cobra Jet V8:
Introduced mid-year (often called the 1968.5 model), this legendary
motor produced a underrated 335 horsepower but massive street
performance.The 1968 model brought subtle but distinct styling and
federally mandated safety revisions to the 1967 body redesign:-
Side Markers: Flush-mounted front and rear side marker lights were
added for safety.- Clean Hood: The "F-O-R-D" block lettering was
completely removed from the front edge of the hood.- GT Package
Accents: Features included fog lamps integrated into the grille,
dual exhaust tips, "GT" hubcaps or styled steel wheels, and
distinct C-stripe side graphics.- Interior Safety: : Upgraded with
a two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel and newly introduced
shoulder belts.This fully restored Mustang was originally sold new
at Holiday Motor Corp in Blacksburg (now Duncan Ford) and has just
18,000 actual miles. It has a Marti report to verify it's pedigree

been a part of the Duncan Imports collection since 2024.
