This Ford Mustang 1967-1968 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1968 Ford Mustang convertible is a J-code example that was built at the Dearborn, Michigan, factory in April 1968 and is finished in gold over black. Power comes from a 302ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and features include a black soft top, 17″ US Mags wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, a Borgeson steering box, sequential LED taillights, hood-vent indicators, billet interior trim, an aftermarket center console, and a custom sound system with a Sony stereo, two amplifiers, five speakers, and a 10″ subwoofer in the trunk. The seller acquired the car in 2017 and has since added approximately 500 miles. This Mustang convertible is now offered with receipts, a Deluxe Marti report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
