Finished in Triple Black, this 1968 Mustang convertible is equipped with a power convertible top, aftermarket Mustang AM/FM radio, T5 5-speed transmission, disc brakes, and 289 V-8. This Mustang is nicely detailed with a new Haartz canvas convertible top, detailed engine compartment, and undercarriage. This car is an older frame-up restoration that still shows, runs, and drives well, and it looks great whether the top is up or down.
The 1968 Mustang was little changed from its '67 counterpart. Most of the changes were in subtle refinements to the interior and exterior. New options for 1968 included an AM/FM stereo radio rear window defogger coupe and fastback only redesigned front power disc brakes and the new 302 cu. in. engine. The 302-4V 230 horsepower engine replaced the 289 Challenger Special of previous years. By December 1967, the 289 engine was replaced entirely by the 302 version.
Other changes included the deletion of the horizontal grille bars the deletion of the F-O-R-D letters at the front of the hood simplification of the quarter panel ornament and many safety features. Due to increasing governmental regulations, the 1968 Mustang now included front and rear side marker lights folding flush mounted interior door pulls and an energy absorbing steering column. There were several region-specific models offered from various dealers. Two of the most notable were the California Special and the High Country Special.
This is a great Mustang convertible that can be driven and enjoyed.
