1968 Ford Mustang Coupe Description

Bright, beautiful, and loaded with the best features this 1968 Ford Mustang has a modern paint, an A/C interior, and a ton of other great upgrades. But even with all the modern features, you still get all the right original pieces like the iconic lines and even the numbers-matching V8 under the hood.
The idea of keeping the original spirit while adding some nice upgrades begins with the paint. Red Mustangs are icons, but this one shines a bit brighter than the rest. A more recent and very professional application means this one has a clearcoat shine that's miles deep. And because the paint shines so brightly, there was also a solid investment in the bumpers and trim to get the brightwork looking just as good. The '68 cars were a bit sportier than the earlier Mustangs, and you see that in the deeper C-channel in the profile, concave rear panel, and the deluxe hood with the cool turn signals embedded within the louvers. This one turns that attitude up even further with cool upgrades like the darkened headlights and MB Motoring 15-inch alloys.
Inside you're going to spot plenty more worthwhile upgrades mixed in with the right vintage elements. For example, the black vinyl interior looks great against the red exterior paint, and since there has been an investment here later in the car's life, everything feels fresher than a car approaching the half-century mark. The Lecarra steering wheel is an upgrade to a smaller and grippier sports unit than what came from the factory, and beyond that is a full set of Dakota Digital gauges that have a modern blue glow. And more than just performance upgrades, this interior is a great place to spend some time. The stereo is a modern Pioneer AM/FM/CD/XM unit that has Bluetooth and an auxiliary input for modern music players. Plus, the air conditioning is blowing cold from R134a so the miles just ease away in cool comfort.
Under the hood is the original numbers-matching 289 cubic-inch V8 block. And you can tell from the pictures, this has received proper investments over the years. This includes performance upgrades like a Demon four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and MSD ignition. Plus, there are great components for reliability like the Optima red top battery and a Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan so this one can run cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C pumping. There have been more great investments that you'll enjoy out on the road. For example, Global West suspension components, the grip of modern Yokohama tires, and traction bars really elevate the driving experience. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, and you have a pony car you'll easily drive everywhere.
This Mustang has all the right original pieces you love, and all the right upgrades, too. So when a total package classic is also so nicely priced, you know it won't stay long in our showroom. Call today!!!
