1968 Ford Mustang Fastback GT-500KR Tribute

1968 Ford Mustang Additional Info:

This was a 6 year project starting with a nice solid 1968 "T" code fastback mustang. The car was completely stripped down to bare metal. All of the body parts are original to the car except for a new driver's side quarter panel and the passenger side front floor pan. All of the glass in the car is original with factory tint except for the windshield which is new. The Shelby body parts (scoops, deck lid, hood, tail lights and inboard head lights) are from Tony Branda. The car was professionally painted with PPG Kona Blue Metallic paint and clear coated with over the top stripes. All of the chrome trim was replaced with new. One piece over the windshield was dented when the windshield was replaced (a new piece will be included with the car). The car has new '68 Shelby 10 spoke 15" rims and new tires.
The engine is a completely rebuilt 1969 428 Cobra Jet bored .30 over. The engine is balanced. It has a 588 lift cam, police interceptor intake, adjustable rocker arms, 750 Holley 4bbl, 9 quart oil pan with windage tray. It has new cast iron headers and magnaflow exhaust. The 4 speed transmission came from a low mileage, wrecked '68 390 big block Mustang. The rear end is a Ford 9 inch, 3:50 with new posi traction and all new bearings and seals. The car has new brakes and drums and new heavy duty (for Cobra Jet) springs on the rear. The front brakes are new Kelsey Hayes power discs (dual piston calipers with 2 piece rotors). The front suspension is all new heavy duty 1 inch sway bar with new coil springs for a cobra jet with all new 'A' arms and bushings.
I have been restoring and dealing in old Ford's for 40 years now and I am ready to let this one go for a new Shelby. It has less than 1,000 miles on it since restoration. The car is located in Elkhorn City, KY and is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. I do not need help selling this car. If you have any questions give me a call at 606-754-7002 or 606-899-0007.
