1968 Mustang GT - All Original Parts - One Owner Past 45 Years - No Body Damage

1968 Ford Mustang GT Additional Info:

1968 Mustang GT - J Code. All original parts, never in an accident, no sheet metal, fiberglass or Bondo or replacement parts of any kind. Original interior. The car is just now seeing the light of day after decades of being in storage. Completely clean title.

I've relisted the car for another 7 days. I've received offers above the ending high bid and contacted by a few potential buyers from overseas who did not have time to submit a bid. I've also lowered the reserve, so if it's met the car will be sold. If it isn't sold I'll keep it, do some work on it and list it again at a later date and higher price. The parts shown are now minus the scoop and velocity stacks. All the other parts will go with the car if the buyer wants them. I've not done a lot of research on the value of each of the parts, but those that are not needed can be sold by the buyer to recoup part of their investment. Thank you for your interest, submit any questions and I'll answer them for you. The number one question I've received is what is the reserve price; it's less than 18.

History

A bit of history for this car. I got this car from my father when I was 15 years old, in 1971. I raced it at Detroit and Motor City drag ways in Michigan for one season. I was racing this car before I had a drivers license. The next season I raced a 1972 Cuda 340. We bought a 1967 Mustang the next year that was strictly a race car. The 68 went into the garage after the one season and stayed there until 6 years ago when I put it in storage. I sold the 67 here on eBay last year, you should be able to find it in the sold history. The condition of this car compared to the 67 is night and day.

The only reason I’m considering selling this car is due to a cancer diagnosis. I had the car professionally apprised and with that and the selling price of the 67 that was sold here, I have set the reserve accordingly. I know what the value of this car is. I’m an old car guy, father owned a gas station until my twenties, I worked as a test driver for GM for several years and was very successful and well known racing at the dragstrips mentioned above in the 1970s.

Based on the condition of 68 Mustang GT’s like this, that I’ve seen here and other places, it wouldn’t take much for someone to have a very valuable and premier show car. Those of you in the restoration business will understand what I’m saying. There are very few original metal 68 Mustang GT’s available, many of those that have been restored have a generous amount of sheet metal and replacement parts. This is one of the few that doesn’t have any or needs any. I honestly really don’t want to sell this car, but I am for the right price. If I don’t sell it here I’ll leave it for my estate to deal with or sell it at the upcoming Internationally known Woodward Avenue Dream Cruse. (I live a half block from the center of the Dream Cruse and Mustang Alley) Since I’ve owned this car for 45 years I’m not in a desperate need to get rid of it. I’m only interested in serious buyers and will not entertain joke offers. I’m also looking for a buyer who will appreciate this original and unique vehicle.

The car was rust-proofed after we bought it. So as you can see from the pictures there is no major rust other than a dime spot on the trunk lid as seen in the pictures. Frame is in great condition, floorboards also. Other than the surface rust as seen in the pictures the car is pretty much like it was when we put it in the garage.

In addition to the car, I am also including a lot of other parts including two manual transmissions, two sets of headers, two bell housings, a set of heads, drive train, Hurst in-line 4-speed shifter, an Edelbrock manifold and many other parts, all for this car and a 289/302 engine. See pictures for all of the parts.

I do not have the rear wheels or tires. Haven’t gotten around to that and may not.

Thank you for checking out my Mustang. Good luck in your bidding.
