1968 Ford Mustang

V-8 (289)

3 SPD. MANUAL FLOOR

Clear

Car spent most of its life in the South (Georgia, and Fla.) Just brought into Ohio in July! It retains all of its own sheetmetal incl. body panels, floor and trunk pans, etc. SOLID AND STRAIGHT WITH GREAT GAP ALIGNMENT! IT IS AMAZINGLY CLEAN UNDERNEATH! COLOR IS "Springtime Yellow" which was also the original color per vin tag. CAR HAS ONLY A COUPLE TOUCH UPS (knicks) I'D RATE BODY/PAINT 8-9 ON A SCALE OF 1-10! It is a "C" Code car which was born a 289 V8, 3 speed on floor. I have no idea if its number matching but it has a 289 rebuilt motor and totally "dressed out" everything under hood was painted incl. engine block, inner fender panels, etc. New Edelbrock "Performer 289" dual plane intake, new Holley 600 4 bbl. carb, new oval Mustang low profile air cleaner, billet pulleys, new belts, new plug wires and tune up, etc.Just changed oil with Valvoline Racing Oil FOR THE OLD CARS (ZINC AND PHOSPHOROUS ADDITIVES) K & N Oil Filter. Has newer power steering that was added to car and disc brakes on front.New aluminum radiator with electric fan. Its never been over 180 and drops back to 160 when moving. I've never had to even turn the fan on as yet. Tranny and rear also rebuilt according to previous owner. engine seems to be rebuilt back to stock specs. Newer battery. Stock fuel pump and exhaust manifolds. Newer dual exhaust into Flowmasters and ran all the way back with nice dual tips on each side. Sounds very good. Performs VERY good and easy on gas. I run Premium 93.9 pump gas but would probably be fine on regular as well. THE CAR HAS BRAND NEW 18X8 COY WHEELS ON REAR AND 18X7 FRONTS ON NEW HANKOOK RADIALS (245/45/ZR18 REAR) & 225/40/ZR18'S FRONT) BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE IS STILL ROOM FOR MORE TIRE (ITS AMAZING, THE COMBINATIONS THEY CAN COME UP WITH TODAY WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY. THE CAR RIDES GREAT AND HANDLES WELL. FRONT END REBUILT FAIRLY RECENTLY AS WAS REAR DRUM BRAKES. NO SQUEAKS AND RATTLES. INTERIOR IS ALL REPRODUCTION ORIGINAL BLACK/ALL IN NICE SHAPE. ORIGINAL DASH WITH AFTERMARKET STEREO CD PLAYER AND REAR SHELF MOUNTED SPEAKERS. DASH IS EXCELLENT. ONLY 2 GAUGES ADDED UNDER DASH WHICH ARE TEMP AND OIL PRESSURE. SPEEDO WORKS AND IS ACCURATE AS IS GAS GAUGE. steering wheel is excellent (stock wood wheel) horn does not work; just haven't got to it as yet. All lights work. All glass is in good shape NO CRACKS/some pitting on Windshield. New replacement windshield is $180 installed, but really isn't noticeable! all Trim, bumpers, grill, rubber, felts, door sill plates, etc. excellent to new condition. Has fog lamps installed on grill but haven't figured out how to turn them on?? Trunk is also great shape with newer matting in that area. New spare mounted and checked with matching cover for it. Original type scissor jack and wrench also in matching bag. THIS CAR IS BEAUTIFUL AND WON'T "BREAK THE BANK" I HAVE IT PRICED FIRM AT $13,900. NO TRADES, NO DICKERING, NO B.S. IF I HAVE TO HOLD IT TIL MARCH FOR NEW SPRING SEASON, PRICE GOES TO AT LEAST $16,500. AT THAT POINT I MAY CONSIDER A TRADE UP. I BOUGHT THE CAR "RIGHT" AND CAN PASS ON A GREAT SAVINGS AT THE $13,900 PRICE TAG. THE CAR IS TOO SMALL FOR ME AND "REALLY NOT MY THING"!!
