1968 Ford Mustang GT Additional Info:
This 1968 Mustang GT is a very rare and hard to find Fastback. These do not come up for sale to often in this highly sought after configuration. In addition to its verified 1 of 1 build, this car retains a large amount of its originality, only being repainted in the 1980's and never restored!
The factory GT was repainted in approximately 1982 with its original highland green color. This color combo, along with the J code 302, factory AC, factory 4 speed, and factory bench seat make it a real once in a lifetime car. All of the VIN tags are in place, including the buck tag and a majority of the original and replacement decals.
The Mustang Club of America winning Fastback comes with an extensive amount of paperwork. This includes a framed elite Marti report and a large binder containing the original build sheet, copy of original title, original stamped owners manual, original dealer emblem, receipts back to the 1970's, etc. etc. I am the 3rd owner of the car, with the last owner retaining the car for over 37 years.
If you have further interest, I have a link with over 180 detailed pictures to show tags, stamps, part numbers, paperwork, etc, etc. This is the best way to view the overall car details, additional information, and its originality.
Exterior:The highland green paint shows very well for being over 35+ years old. There is only 1 minor imperfection in the hood, which is a small ding, noted in the detailed pictures. The white sidewall tires are brand new, including the spare.
Interior:The interior is like new and everything works as it should. All of the belts and shoulder harness retain the factory tags. All the factory stamps on the HVAC and under-dash components are visible. The top of the dash has some minor bubbling.
Trunk:The factory spare wheel and jack are in place. The full factory quarters are visible with the red oxide primer. The rear quarters retain the factory sound deadening. During the repaint, it appears that about 4-6" of the lower quarters were replaced, as they always rust in this spot. The original tar mat is still in place on top of the gas tank. There is also a 1969 sealed fire extinguisher for car shows. The matching mustang bag in the truck is outfitted with all replacement bulbs, belts, wires, etc.
Engine:At some point, the carb and heads were removed. It now has a Holley carb and later 302 stamped heads. I have the original Autolite carb and the original 302 4V heads. The engine bay is very clean and detailed. It is outfitted with many of the factory components and parts throughout, including hoses, clamps, belts, decals, etc.
Undercarriage:The underside was coated with a light undercoating many years ago. You can still clearly see it has the original floors and no work was done. If you peel some of the coating off, the original red oxide shows through. The factory rear and trans still have the tags in place. The correct transverse exhaust is in place.
Please ask if you have any additional questions.
I can assist with shipping or moving the vehicle within a couple hundred mile radius.
