Up for Sale this week, Canyon State Classics brings to market a super clean 1968 Mustang Coupe in Acapulco Blue over 2-Tone Blue interior. This is a true 1-owner mustang bought in 1968 by the original owner in Carolina before coming out to AZ in 1986 where the car has resided since. The original owner has spent well over 10k recently getting the car mechanically squared away. This is a great driver with potential to take to the next level or continue to enjoy as it sits. Its becoming harder and harder to find nice straight examples . Don't miss your chance to own this beauty!
The following list of options for this Mustang as it is currently equipped:
-289 Cu Ford V8
-Automatic Transmission
-Power Steering
-Original Two Tone Interior
-Bucket Seats
-Console
-White Vinyl Top
-14" Wheels w/ Original Rally Hubcaps
The body on this little beauty is honest to the life it has lived. The early years in the Carolina's made way for some mild corrosion spots on the body- these can be seen at the bottom corners of the C-pillar and where the white vinyl top meets the top of the rear window (bubbling under the material). There is no evidence of any panel repairs or replacements and paint touch-ups and scratches have been pictured above. It is finished in Acapulco Blue and was then hand rubbed to a smooth as glass finish! The finish is a very sharp and appealing, and will be perfect for car shows or just to drive and enjoy! The chrome and trim is original with few dings or dents or imperfections- it has not been changed! The car is sitting on a set of 14" steel wheels with the original rally hubcaps and Toyo white wall tires.
The two-tone blue interior is in very good shape and is a testament to how well the original owner has cared for the car. The vinyl is in very nice shape. The door panels are in good shape as well as the arm rests. The carpeting is nice and the dash gauges are clean and bright. All the gauges work as they should and the radio plays fine. The dash pad was replaced in 2021 and freshens up the interior. The inside is finished off with a set of fresh period-correct Mustang mats.
Mechanically, this little Mustang is in great shape and it runs and drives like a top! Over the last 3 years, the owner has spent over $10k getting the car mechanically sorted. Everything under the engine compartment is to factory specs and all correct components are present. This is one of the nicest running and driving mustangs we have seen in a long time. This thing is ready to be out on the road and enjoyed! Below is a summary of the recent service:
