1968 Ford Mustang $46,950

*1968 Ford Mustang Coupe*Any Ford Mustang built in the 1960s is a car that nearly anybody- car enthusiast or not- can get excited about. The classic shape and V8 burble are pure nostalgia for people who lived through the era they were produced. Although a stock example can be great fun to drive, they can really shine after careful modifications, carried out that make them handle, stop and drive all the better. This 1968 Mustang Coupe is a perfect example of how that ethos should be applied, and after just a few minutes behind the wheel one will see the difference it makes, thanks to over $50k spent on high-quality and well-thought upgrades. An interesting side note - this Mustang was ordered new with Ford's Sprint Promotion B option, which added C Stripes, foglamps, a pop-open fuel cap, wheel lip moldings, and Styled Steel Wheels - a GT look for less $$$!Finished in Wimbledon White with the classic Black C stripes along with black hood stripes, this example was sold new in Texas according to the included Marti Report. The car has an aggressive stance sitting on a set of 15-inch Halibrand-style wheels that are wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. In the grille sits a pair of yellow fog lights that give the car an almost rally-car look that perfectly complements the stripe treatment. The paint and bodywork were carried out under the care of the previous owner and has clearly been completed to a very nice standard - with attention paid to the underside appearance, too. All of the exterior lighting has been converted to LED and includes everybody's favorite classic Mustang feature - sequential turn signal tail lights.The interior has been nicely restored as well with some hidden technology that makes it an even better car to drive. A pair of black bucket seats up front with headrests are separated by a long brushed stainless steel center console. Slide behind the 2-spoke steering wheel and you'll notice a set of Dakota Digital gauges which offer accurate readings while looking like they could have come from the factory. The stereo looks like it could be factory as well but is actually a Custom AutoSound head unit with Bluetooth capabilities that easily allow you to listen to your favorite music. In addition, all interior lights have been updated with LEDs that are both bright and use far less power than the original bulbs. Another nice touch is the addition of power window lifts, operated via switches integrated into the factory window cranks.Powering this Mustang is a J-code 302c.i. V8 that has been mildly hot-rodded with jet coated Doug's headers and a full stainless Magnaflow dual exit exhaust. It's paired to a Tremec T5 5-speed manual with Hurst shift linkage and a hydraulic clutch, which sends power to a Ford 8-inch rear axle with an Eaton Trutrac limited-slip differential. The suspension has been comprehensively modified with Ride Tech pieces that include upgraded upper and lower control arms, front coil-overs, upgraded shock tower reinforcement plates, a larger front sway bar, HD Fox ride-adjustable shocks and rear composite leaf springs. This helps the car handle like a modern sports car and the addition of Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes means that it now stops like one too.If you have always loved the shape of a classic Mustang but have worried about being let down by the driving experience, this could be the car for you. With these carefully considered modifications, the spirit of the car remains very similar to an original, yet everything has been improved. Building your own Mustang to this level would be significantly more expensive and tremendously time consuming. This car has been driven and tested since the modifications were completed and is ready for its next owner to start enjoying it immediately.*Key Features* * 302c.i.
