The present owner has immensely enjoyed this classic Mustang Convertible for 18 years. It has been a best friend; a driver she could count on to get her where she wanted to go in unmistakable style.

Present Owner Information

What we do know: This Mustang was obtained by the current owner in 1999, purchased in Jacksonville FL. At the time of purchase it was indicated to them that even though the Florida title reflected EXEMPT on mileage that the odometer had not turned over. If that information was correct that would mean the 9,024 miles showing presently on the odometer would be 109,024 miles. The history of this Mustang beyond the current ownership is not known.

Since 1999 the owner has had it they only used regular motor oil, no synthetics. Predominantly the wife's car, she drove it a lot during the 18 years they've owned it, mostly all local driving as one would with any vehicle as a daily driver. (shipped to Michigan and back one time). It has been highly reliable; starts on the first crank, has lots of power, uses no oil, no smoke, exhaust is nice and clean.

As the Best of Best title on this ad; this Mustang's considered
to be that for a number of reasons we'll mention in this ad.

As the Best of the Best as a driver; this Mustang being 50 years in age is nice and tight; no squeaks or rattles, smooth driving, accelerates with lots of get up and go power (exhaust burns clean), steers so easy with the power assisted steering. It has drum brakes (being not power brakes it is normal you apply a bit of pressure on the brake pedal), it brakes good.

The owners are seniors and one of the things they most enjoyed as a hobby is attending classic car shows together; they took in a lot of car shows. Not to win trophy's, win shows, just enjoy the car sow fun and spirit of attending with other car buffs.

When they purchased this Mustang there was already: GT wheel covers and a GT steering wheel on it. They added the present dash radio with the Mustang branded and Mustang Pony's. Equipment on it we believe is from different year Mustangs; 66', 67' & 68'. When they purchased, prior to their ownership somewhere in it's earlier history it was pink, couple discreet places you see a peek of pink (under doors).

During their ownership they always highly maintained it, when it needed anything, it was immediately done. Always ready to go anywhere at a moment's notice. They did put a new hood on it in 1999 when they painted it as the hood it had had a couple small dings in it. More recently in the past couple years they updated it with a new radiator, fan and fan shroud, thermostat, many hoses and belts, new power steering pump and hose (flushed the power steering lines), new oil pan, new master cylinder, and new black top boot.

The present owner painted this back in April 2009 when they purchased it. The color they used on the exterior was 91 Chrysler Colorado Red. They had a first class repaint done, spent $5,500 on the paint work. They had all chrome removed, exterior had some small dents and rust, which was cut out and some patched. In our present day inspection there is some rust on the bottom, but in our layman's assessments, rust that is there should not affect operation in any way. Once the exterior work was done, a high quality clear coat and new factory decals applied. As seen in photos, paint shine on this Mustang finish today is brilliant, spectacular, looks great.

"The Best of The Best"

The Best Time in Automotive History: The 60's auto industry milestone! Ford Mustang made its introduction on April 17, 1964 at the World's Fair in New York, and nationwide at Ford showrooms.

Only Mustang Makes It Happen!

Factory marketing from 60's

The Best Memory Maker: Owners of vintage cars are caretakers of time. The current owner hopes the next owner of this driver has as much fun, enjoyment and memories as she has enjoyed for almost two decades. We are assisting the owner find a new home with that one person who is wanting to have a fantastic timeless unmistakable experience with a classic iconic 1960 look when you are driving.

This is a classic collectable that everybody honks and waves at you. A collectable that when you go to shows, everyone flocks around you, not because they are looking for a show car, people simply have staunch affections for the early years of Ford Mustang model.

The Best Driver: A driver is a classic vintage or antique collectable you are not afraid to drive. A driver is not a museum car, or a car you invest in to merely sit in your trophy room and brag about. You don't use them, afraid to get rain drops on them. With owning that type of classic, you are terrified to drive it because you might get a bug on it. With that type of classic you can only enjoy looking at it - you do not get any useful physical emotional enjoyment driving your own personal collectable from a different era in American Car History. Over the life of this titled 1968 Mustang, it has parts, components from multiple different years (65'-68').

1968 Ford Mustang Engine Options

We have done some research, from our research here is what we have found:

We have found different opinions on verifying the casting number for engine; and opinions as to where the casting number would be located. We did locate a number using a mirror (see in the mirror below), however paint has obscured our reading it.

Present Engine Manifold

Engine manifold below indicates 289 on top, but we had further comment from a Mustang enthusiast that the manifold you see below is also compatible with a 302 V8. We think it's a *289 - that said, we are not sure if this is a *289 or 302? Your thoughts?

The identification on the top of this Mustang's manifold

Transmission Verification

Last 6 of VIN on Dash Plate (Starting with 100001) we clearly see 1 = which indicates this Mustang would have been born with 3 Speed Manual (repeating; this Mustang according to dash VIN plate is a 3-Speed Manual transmission).

BUT -- this Mustang has a 3 speed automatic transmission.

Last 6 of VIN on Door Plate (Starting with 100001) this door VIN plate we think starts with a 2 (but maybe it's a Z - see photo). This Mustang according to door VIN plate if it were a 2 does not show type transmission; so maybe it is a Z then - which shows Automatic Special (aluminum 1 piece case- (your thoughts?).

We are not sure on the 3 speed automatic transmission: we don't know if the transmission in this Mustang is a Code U, T, W, X, Y, Z ? (2 or three piece case?). From the factory; automatic transmission (if it is a SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic 3-Spd Auto that came w/ 289-cid V-8 when new as an option was $200.95). If you see the door VIN plate, maybe it is a Z? We don't know.
Other things on this Mustang: Power (assisted) steering (when new it was $84.47 as an option when new), it has drum brakes, it has a Mustang branded aftermarket radio in the dash (AM/FM Cassette)

Let's look around the outside ...

Really sharp! - the decals on the sides are reflective at night time as a safety feature.

As you walk around this beauty, it's beauty is self evident

-----

This engine runs fantastic - the owners have loved its reliability!

The Best being the First: This is a first generation Mustang. Mustang owners for 50 years have put on this Mustang what each may have felt was the best from Mustang's years of 1966, 1967, and 1968 — this Mustang is believed to have pieces and parts from all of those years. If you want a classic iconic Mustang Convertible you can take on trips, drive around town as a daily driver, or go and enjoy car shows with -- this is your Mustang - a collection of multiple years.

When you look inside from around the sides, she is really a sporty ride!

ABOUT FORD
AND THE MUSTANG

The Mustang from its first introduction was met with welcoming arms and would go on to set sales records that have still yet to be broken, and the pony car class it helped create is the longest running for Ford. The Mustang combined sporty looks, economy, and performance in a package that had an affordable price tag.

As Lee Iacocca's assistant general manager and chief engineer, Donald N. Frey was the head engineer for the Mustang project — supervising the development of the Mustang in a record 18 months from September 1962 to March 1964. — while Iacocca himself championed the project as Ford Division general manager.

Drawing on inspiration from the mid-engined Ford Mustang I concept vehicle, Lee Iacocca ordered development of a new "small car" to vice-president of design at Ford, Eugene Bordinat. Bordinat tasked Ford's three design studios (Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, and Advanced Design) to create proposals for the new vehicle.

The design teams had been given five goals for the design of the Mustang: It would seat four, have bucket seats and a floor mounted shifter, weigh no more than 2,500 pounds (1,100 kg) and be no more than 180 inches (4,572 mm) in length, sell for less than $2,500, and have multiple power, comfort, and luxury options.

This Mustang has 9,024 Miles on the Odometer

1968 Mustang
First Generation Mustang
(research wikipedia . org)


The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile. The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang's styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of competition.

It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment. With each revision, the Mustang saw an increase in overall dimensions and in engine power.

The overall size, interior and cargo space were increased. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes.

Wow, back in the 60's -- the look of a sleek high end sports car. People just love it!

MORE ABOUT THE
68' MUSTANG HISTORY

The 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback reached iconic status after it was featured in the 1968 movie film Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. In that film, McQueen drove a modified 1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback chasing a Dodge Charger through the streets of San Francisco. Mustang fans worldwide loved the 1967 interior, this Mustang has remnants of 1967 model. So sharp!

Factory marketing from 60's

The 1968 Ford Mustang used the same body style as previous year with minor trim changes. Changes for the 1968 model increased safety which included an inside center rear view mirror. Also chrome block "Ford" letters disappear from the hood; the galloping pony emblem is integrated more subtly into the hollowed grille and C-Stripe side graphics were added, front and rear side marker lights, reflector adjacent to the front and rear bumpers are added. The C-Stripe side graphics really pop and grab your eyes, even more so at night (high reflective as you can see in some of the photos). Really sharp classic turn heads where ever you go.

Mustang fans absolutely love the distinctive Pony seating ... this Mustang has the best of the best !

-----


This 1968 Mustang
Has The "Pony Interior"

The 1967 Deluxe Interior was revised, discontinuing the embossed running horse motif on the seat backs (the source for the "pony interior" nickname) in favor of a new deluxe interior package, which included special color options. That said, this being a 1968 Mustang and having the embossed running horse motif on the seat backs, a former owner apparently replaced the rear seat from a 1966 Mustang. The "Pony" seats were very popular amongst Mustang loyalists - the Pony seat backs are a great add on this Mustang, along with the Mustang Wood GT steering wheel and the factory Mustang GT wheel covers.

The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original model. Ford's designers began drawing up a larger version even as the original was achieving sales success, and while "Iacocca later complained about the Mustang's growth, he did oversee the redesign for 1967.

Under The Hood
of Your Mustang

ABOUT THE ENGINE IN THIS MUSTANG: This 1968 Mustang by the letter J in the dash VIN plate in the passenger corner of the windshield indicates originally this Mustang was manufactured with a V8 302 4V (4bbl). You need to be the expert as to the engine.

This Mustang has a *289 v8 2bbl (believed to be a *289 cu in (4.7 L) Windsor V8 (1968) 2-barrel 195 bhp (145 kW; 198 PS) @ 4,600 288 lb·ft (390 N·m) @ 2,600). Because this Mustang is 50 years old, and we have different VIN numbers on the door and dash plates, and we can not read the fender VIN plate, we can not speak to the engine in this Mustang as being or not being the original engine, (even verify the engine size). (see the photo of the manifold and VIN plates in this ad). If we are able to verify the engine while this ad is running, we will post it at the bottom of the ad. We can attest that the engine does run extremely great.

-----

New power steering pump, radiator

The 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine was introduced in April 1963. Bore was expanded to 4.00 in (101.6 mm), becoming the standard bore for most Windsor engines. Stroke remained at 2.87 inches. The 289 weighed 506 lb (230 kg). For 1965, the compression ratio of the base 289 was raised to 9.3:1, increasing power and torque to 200 hp (149 kW) at 4,400 rpm and 282 lb·ft (382 N·m) at 2,400 rpm, respectively. 289 cu in Engine specifications were unchanged for 1966 and 1967. In 1968, the four-barrel 225 hp (168 kW) engine was dropped, leaving only the two-barrel - now reduced to 195 hp (145 kW).

Here are more photos to the engine ...

Under Carriage

Suspension

We will let you peruse the many photos of the undercarriage and suspension

IMPORTANT NOTE

We went through and tried to photograph all areas of the under carriage and suspension for you. There is some rust which you will see. We do show all, have not held any photos back so you can have a good visual. The 4 different vehicle experienced people we had review the undercarriage as we were taking the photos on the lift - all four came away feeling the areas where we saw rust and there is rust, that the rust is not a safety hazard, should not affect performance as a driver, just as it has been used the last 18 years by the current owner, it could be on the road for more decades as a driver. Rather than make notes under pictures here, we just show all pictures for your viewing.

The Convertible Top

The red paint with the white top and white interior is really the most desired color combination

Easy to see why it is the most popular color combination

The convertible top we believe is in good condition, we put it up and down several times
(see the videos where we show putting the top up and down with the owner)

-----

Boot practically new, looks new, fits well, only snaps on both sides where you see snap below

The top is manual up and down, was easy for one person to put it up and down

-----

-----

The wrinkle you see in the white top will come straight when in the sun

"The Best of The Best" 1968 Ford Mustang
2 Door Coupe Convertible
Automatic Transmission
Gas 2bbl - *289 V8 Engine Built by Ford, the best of 65 to 68 Mustangs LOW RESERVE

Vehicle Information

VIN: 8T03J189505-Odometer: 9025 showing (Exempt on FL Title)

Year: 1968 | Make: Ford | Model: 2 Door Convertible | Weight: 3953
Engine: *289 V8 2bbl | Fuel Type: Gas | Color: Exterior: Red - Interior - Top: White

We recommend you base your decisions on what you see in the 200 plus photos and what you see in our Vehltor® Virtual Video Tour™. We are thorough and detailed, yet there still may be questions you have.

That said, your satisfaction is our utmost goal and focus — that said, please do us a favor as you read through the entire ad and view all the photos and videos, take a moment when you spot something you have a question on to make note of any questions of interest to you. We will be delighted to get you the answers in short order so you can make your best informed decision. Thanks!

NOTE: We like to show you all of the details so we use close up photos as much as we can. You will see we include many close up photos in our ads — with close up photos things you normally would not see at all like the tiniest lint or spec of dust, in close up photos the lint or dust will appear magnified, huge . When you're looking at the vehicle in person you do not even see any of the lint or dust. So as the saying goes, excuse our dust <wink>.
Even though this vehicle was only given a cursory cleaning prior to the photos and videos being taken, with classics we have found the new owners want to take the vehicle exactly as we show it - so it will be exactly as you see it when you receive it. Some photos in this ad because of lighting conditions may appear unclear (or appear to have shadows). No matter how many photos, the vehicle always looks better in person. You will absolutely love the vintage "Best of the Best" 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible when you first see it!

We are not experts and realize there are many experts around the world.

Interior: Exceptionally good condition, some discoloration and blems (see blem area). Driver's door panel misaligned, couple adjustments might be needed, but in functional condition. Fan for defrost and heat blows with force and quiet. Has seat belts front and rear. Please review the ad text description in all areas and captions of this ad under the photos for known details or specific mentions about condition of the interior.

Exterior: Exceptionally clean and beautiful shine. Some pitting on chrome; tail light bezels, vent windows, window and door handles (see blem area). Some rust seen under doors and under car (see all photos in the ad). Please review the ad text description thoroughly in all areas and captions of this ad under the photos for known details or specific mentions about condition of the interior.
NOTE: #1) Small joining trim piece missing on the grille center bottom bezel (see blem area). APPEARANCE ITEMS: #2) There's a few very light hard to even see exterior scratches, dings nicks - see all photos in the ad (see blem area. #4) Most blems we noted highlights of in blem areas section.

Mechanically: Nothing at all was noted mechanically needed. A damp spot was noted under the engine, but we noted after weeks of sitting in the same spot, being started multiple time to exercise the pony no leaks on the ground were detected. Drive, rides and shifts, brakes and turns as it should. This Mustang as it was used as a daily driver was maintained with regular oil and filter and transmission services. She is ready for the road.

Just fill it up with gas and go!!

All lights inside and outside were checked and are working properly, ready to go anywhere you want to go.
Enjoy the Vehltor® Virtual Video Tour™ as you accompany Team Vehltor® on a road test with the vehicle owner and information from the owner and experience this fantastic Mustang out on the open road.
Other than mentioned items nothing else known is needed. Please review description for other details.

BLEM AREAS SECTION

As you can see the blems are few, especially considering it's 50 year age,
this Mustang is beautiful and clean.
None of the appearance items affect functionality in any way.

VEHLTOR® TEAM TEST DRIVE COMMENTS: Driving this 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible.
This 50 year old vintage Mustang drives really fantastic in our opinion. We are not experts, but we can tell you it has lots of power and accelerates quickly and brakes great (as you will see in the video). It drives great on the road, is quiet, and we enjoyed our drive. Where we went we were greeting by people who ogled our Mustang, from horns honking to yelling beautiful Mustang!! We savored it with the top down and easily got into the spirit of being taken back in the 60's 50 years ago. We found no issues. This Mustang is ready for the open road.

Our hearty congratulations in advance to the next owner!
Expect no disappointment in the vehicle in this ad listing.
