This 1968 Ford Mustang convertible is one of the most interesting affordable classics you're going to see for quite some time. With a bright factory color package and droptop appeal, it's the perfect mix of vintage fun and standout appearance.
Acapulco Blue isn't just a cool name for your paint, but also this factory-correct color looks nice thanks to a professional respray during its lifetime. Today it retains a nice gloss and shine. This sets up for a head-turning appearance that stays true to Mustang originality, while also showing plenty of the correct flair. That's why the bumpers and taillight bezels shine so nicely against the paint. And speaking of shine, those premium wheel covers are arguably one of the best looking options the factory offered. And this total package is finished off with a white top that looks like the crest of an Acapulco ocean wave.
As much as we like the way this one looks with the top in place, with the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal an even cooler interior. After all, the two-tone blue inside coordinates so nicely with the exterior paint. This factory-correct appearance looks great on the bucket seats, door panels, and dash. The driver gets the improved round gauge package that came on later versions of the first-gen Mustangs, and ahead of that, we are delighted to see no one has traded the original deluxe steering wheel for an aftermarket unit. The whole interior follows this car's period-correct and premium feelings. In fact, the only major component that doesn't feel like it came from the factory is the AM/FM radio. This upgrade to a more versatile digital tuner with aux input blends nicely into the original knob-style radio opening.
This is a C-code Mustang, and so you get Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. It keeps with this car's blue paint scheme with its big blue block, blue air grabber, and the correct " Ford" valve covers. And with all the correct decals and marking you'll really love showing off the engine bay. Out on the road, this Mustang proves why America fell in love with this pony car. The hum of the dual exhaust, the crisp shifts of the three-speed automatic transmission, smooth power steering, and modern Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires all come together to make a fantastic cruiser.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the iconic classic with a standout color package. But while this convertible has plenty of blue, the only way it can make you feel blue is if you miss out on this deal. Call today!!!
