Vehicle Description
If you're looking for a car that's about as close to a
showroom-spec 1968 Mustang as you can get, then this may be your
ride. This 1968 Ford Mustang is a truly special car, a unique
survivor that retains nearly all of its original equipment and has
an interior that's just like stepping back into 1968. Wrapping up a
289 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood,
this '68 Mustang isn't something to be taken lightly, despite its
friendly looks. Torque is put to the pavement through the use of a
3-speed automatic transmission, which allows for smooth cruising as
it shifts nice and smooth. The eye-catching "Diamond Blue" paint on
this Mustang is laid out over a laser-straight body, looking
stunning as it compliments the matching black vinyl top and the
gleaming chrome brightwork. The floors, frame, trunk and jambs on
this time-capsule of a Mustang are all rock-solid, and all present
very well! Opening this Mustang's twin doors reveals an incredibly
original, fully-loaded interior. Combining two-tone light and dark
blue vinyl bucket seats and the added luxury flair of a
woodgrain-trimmed dashboard, the interior of this car is positively
show-quality. The bucket seats are extremely comfortable, perfect
for long-haul cruising and they are complimented by two full
consoles, one on the floor and one overhead! This Mustang came
straight from the factory absolutely loaded with options, including
power steering, factory air conditioning, factory gauges with
working clock, dual chrome mirrors, a remote driver's mirror, an
overhead console with working map lights, a woodgrain steering
wheel, a center-stack storage area with convenience group lights, a
rear luggage rack, vent windows, an updated rear speaker, an
original AM pushbutton radio, hood-mounted turn signals, and a
nice-sounding single exhaust system. The car rides on some
old-school cool Michelin whitewall tires over factory-spec painted
14" wheels with wire hubcaps for a sport-luxury look straight out
of 1968! This little '68 Mustang runs and drives like a dream, and
it looks like one too. This is an incredible opportunity to own a
true time-capsule of a car, something that'll catapult you right
back to 1968 when you're behind the wheel. You're not going to see
another one quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
