The 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible is a true icon of American automotive design, capturing both the spirit and the performance that defined the era of muscle cars. This particular Mustang, built on April 5, 1968, at the Metuchen Plant, is a shining example of Ford's commitment to both craftsmanship and innovation. Originally destined for New York, as indicated by its New York District Sales Office (DSO) designation, it carries with it a history steeped in the energy and excitement of the late 1960s.
Underneath the hood, this Mustang features the "C-Code" 289-2V V-8 engine, a powerhouse that provides an exhilarating driving experience. Known for its reliability and performance, the 289 V-8 delivers smooth, robust power, perfectly matched with a C-4 Select Shift automatic transmission. Whether cruising the highways or navigating city streets, this drivetrain provides a blend of power and ease that makes it a joy to drive. The 2.79 conventional rear axle adds to its versatility, giving it excellent highway cruising capabilities.
Originally finished in Wimbledon White, this Mustang has undergone a stunning transformation. Its new Lime Gold exterior is eye-catching, yet sophisticated, a hue that both reflects the golden age of muscle cars and stands out today with its rich, deep finish. The exterior paint is in excellent condition, with a gleaming shine that highlights the car's sleek lines and muscular stance. It's a car that commands attention, whether parked or in motion.
The car is equipped with a black power convertible top featuring a plastic backlite, allowing you to enjoy open-air drives with just the touch of a button. The power steering ensures that handling this classic is as easy as it is enjoyable, making it a pleasure to drive even in modern traffic. Sitting on Magnum 500 chrome wheels wrapped in raised white letter tires, this Mustang looks as fast as it drives, embodying the perfect combination of form and function.
Inside, the Mustang maintains its vintage charm with black vinyl standard bucket seats, providing a comfortable yet stylish ride. Adding a touch of elegance and warmth to the interior, the new wood steering wheel is a perfect complement to the car's classic appeal. While staying true to its roots, this Mustang has also been tastefully updated with an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player, offering modern audio convenience without detracting from the car's vintage aesthetic.
The undercarriage of this Mustang is as beautiful as the exterior, a rare quality that reflects the meticulous care this car has received over the years. Every detail has been attended to, ensuring that this car not only looks stunning but also performs reliably and smoothly.
Whether you're taking it for a Sunday drive or adding it to a collection, this Mustang offers everything you could want from a classic convertible.
