Vehicle Description
$72,995 Cruisin Classics is proud to present this simply stunning 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible. This Mustang underwent an extensive restoration about 10 years ago that included new paint, suspension improvements, a full engine rebuild, a new Tremec 5-speed transmission, and a new interior (we have a folder of receipts for the work done). The odometer reads only 2,987 miles and we believe that's how many miles it's been driven since restoration. With so few miles, it's not surprising that it looks, runs, and drives like it was just done. This Pony comes to us with a copy of it's Marti Report, which tells us that it was built at the Metuchen plant on 12/4/1967 as a C-code 289 2V car with a C-4 Cruise-O-Matic transmission, a black power top, power steering, AM radio, black standard bucket seat interior, and Highland Green paint (the same color as Steve McQueen's Bullitt car!). Let's take a closer look at this Mustang to see what's changed and what hasn't since it rolled of the line in New Jersey back in 1968... This Mustang comes to us dressed in an exceptionally nice coat of Highland Green paint with only a few minor touchups - we would put it in the high driver quality category. Up front, sporty hood vents do double duty with hidden turn signal indicators for the driver. Below, bright chrome trim frames a black eggcrate grille that's flanked by bucketed headlights. A gleaming chrome bumper lies beneath. As you move around to the side of the car, the power-operated black convertible top comes into view - and it looks fantastic. The top looks like brand new, features a clear plastic rear window, and operates just as it should. Bright trim elements pop in the light, like the windshield surround, window trim, convertible top surround, door handles, and a rectangular drivers side mirror. The fenders both wear Mustang script badges and running pony with red, white, and blue stripes badges, all in great condition. This Mustang rides atop a set of 15 Argent and chrome 5-spoke wheels all wrapped in newer BF Goodrich Radial T/A's (2024) - a great look. The rear of the car features the iconic Mustang triple-taillights with bright trim, MUSTANG decklid lettering, another chrome bumper, chrome-ringed reverse lights on the lower valence, and a bright chrome GT gas cap at the center. Peaking out from underneath are a set of down-turned chrome exhaust tips. Take a look underneath the car to find a newer gas tank, a set of Thrush mufflers, and newer suspension components like adjustable shackles, leaf springs, bushings, and u-bolts. Under the hood is a clean black engine bay that you'll be proud to show off at any car show. At the center is a Ford 289 V-8 that appears to be era correct (C6AE-6015-G 7J28). The engine was rebuilt completely by Hausfeld Classics in Springboro Ohio in 2016. The extensive work included resurfacing the block, decking the heads for raised compression, drilling the block for updated cooling passages, boring and honing the cylinders, and adding forged pistons, a double roller timing chain, a hydraulic roller camshaft, hydraulic roller lifters, new harmonic balancer, and new main & rod bearings. The block was then topped off with RPM aluminum heads, finned aluminum valve covers, an Edelbrock RPM intake, a Holley Brawler carburetor, and a chrome air cleaner. That's not all though, there's also an HEI distributor, a high-volume oil pump, a new water pump, new fuel pump, a Powermaster alternator, power steering, Ford Racing plug wires, and an Autolite battery cover. This aggressive V-8 is now mated up to a new Tremec 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels via a Ford 9 rear axle with open gears - perfect for freeway cruisin'. Stopping power comes courtesy of power front disc and rear drum brakes. Exhaust flows through Hedman headers and Thrush mufflers before exiting the tips with an awesome growl that's fitting for such a car. Other highlights under the hood include shock tower supports a |
