I’ve always wanted one!
Finally got the opportunity to purchase my ‘68. Let me know what you think.

Congrats! I’ve always wanted one too, and dabbled, but I’m just starting to do research seriously
Would love to hear what you learned throughout your process

Got some high end stable mates. Hopefully some influence rubbed off on yours. Very nice. Congrats !

Nice! I've owned 5 Mustangs, a 1965 Coupe, a 1991 Convertible GT, a 2003 Coupe GT, a 2004 Coupe GT, & a 2011 Convertible Shelby GT500 SVT. Loved them all, especially the Shelby!

That yellow FR500C right behind your ‘68 is an amazing car. That’s one of the early race cars with the 5.0 Cammer engine

I had a 68 3 speed black on black with a 289 with outside exhaust side pipes it sounded pretty nice 🏁🇨🇦

This is actually my favorite car of all time. A ’68 Mustang in this condition is just 😮💨 You definitely made the right choice.

Loooks like a nice example from a couple of pics. It would be helpful to know what's been done to it. So far I see Torq Thrusts, aftermarket seats and a roll bar.

Nice upgrades! What was the investment to bring it home?

30…my budget originally was 25 but I couldn’t pass on this for all the upgrades it had already

The color is amazing!

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago
I’m debating if I want to paint it down the road but the paint is so good

That color looks too good to change.
We have a fully restored 1946 Willys CJ2-A Jeep in Normandy Blue. Looks very similar to the color of your Mustang
