1968 Ford Mustang Fastback

1968 Ford Mustang Fastback Description

Up for sale is a true, one of a kind, custom fastback. This Mustang started life as a factory V-8 car and an original fastback, not a converted coupe. A very solid Nevada car provided a rust free platform to transform into a stunning Eleanor style creation. All of the fiberglass work was performed by a N.C.R.S. certified restoration professional. The fit and finish is some of the best work I have ever seen. The paint is all PP&G, DBC Deltron 2000 Base coat and Concept 2021 Clear coat. The stripes were laid down first in a fine metallic silver then the candy red was applied. The stripes were masked and the black was laid down over the car, then the entire car was cleared. There were 4 coats of clear then sanded then an additional 2 coats then final sanded and buffed to perfection. There is no ridge on the stripes whatsoever. The pictures do not do this car any justice and the red is not a solid color but a very stunning metallic, candy red. The side stripes and wheel centers were painted in the same process. The Eleanor body kits are somewhat difficult to fit so many pieces were reshaped and heavily modified to fit perfectly. All normal driving function lights work fine, turn signals etc... The front glass is new the rest is very nice original. The window trim is also very nice polished original. The interior is restored with new door panels, new carpet and dash.
