This is a beautifully restored example of a 1968 Mustang Coupe transformed into a Convertible with a removable Fastback Roof. It runs great, drives great, looks great, and the attention it gets is extreme! No Disappointments: This Convertible conversion is a great investment and a fun car to drive and enjoy. From the engine compartment to the trunk and everywhere in between, this is a clean car. The following will be a description of each area of the car, being as in-depth and accurate as possible.

The roof comes off with 2 bolts and 2 wing nuts, and can be removed in less than 2 minutes. The undercarriage received a chassis strengthening kit from Mustangs Plus prior to the roof removal.
