1968 Ford Mustang Coupe Golden Nugget Special

This 1968 Ford Mustang is one of 481 Golden Nugget Special models that were produced for the Seattle Sales District in 1968. Golden Nugget Specials were finished in Sunlit Gold paint with black vinyl tops and featured black hood and side stripes as well as a dash plaque and gold-color interior components. This car is powered by a 200ci inline-six paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes 14″ wheels, wire-spoke hubcaps, power steering, gold vinyl front bucket seats, and an AM radio. The car was originally sold by Westside Ford, Inc., in Seattle, Washington, and is said to have remained registered to the original owner until her death in 2003. The car was refinished in 2008, and the selling dealer notes that work in preparation for sale included recovering the seats and replacing the fuel sending unit. This Mustang is now offered by the selling dealer in Georgia with a Deluxe Marti report, the window sticker and build sheets, an owner’s manual, historical documents and pictures, service records, manufacturer’s literature, and a clean Washington title.
