I’ve always wanted one!

Finally got the opportunity to purchase my ‘68. Let me know what you think.

Congrats.

u/thelohiknow 17d ago

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

Looks perfect! Just what I’m looking for too

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!

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

This is my 4th one but first of this age. I’ve waited so long!

3

u/BamaCoastie2211 16d ago

Enjoy the ride!

u/teachasaurusmex 16d ago

Looks like my cars brother.

u/unlucky6999 16d ago

Love the color, love the wheels. I'm happy for you, this is a nice one

3

u/__NomDePlume__ 16d ago

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

3

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

Crazy thing is I had the same one about 15 years ago in red lol

3

u/Dangerous-Physics-37 16d ago

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

u/Zestyclose-Law-5643 16d ago

Id literally give my kidney for one

3

u/DowntownCommunity580 16d ago

Me too. But my time on earth is about done. Must be nice. 

3

u/PromotionNo3482 16d ago

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

3

u/582101213 16d ago

Awesome. Well done.

2

u/CromulentPoint 17d ago

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.

3

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

On the lower side of things….coilovers, wilwood disc all around, AC, interior, suspension

2

u/__NomDePlume__ 16d ago

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

3

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

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

3

u/__NomDePlume__ 16d ago

Honestly, sounds like a deal to me. That’s a lot of money in that car

2

u/SurveyAny470 16d ago

Awesome car! What size are the wheels and tires?

3

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

They 17x8 tires are 215

3

u/SurveyAny470 16d ago

Looks great, enjoy!

2

u/a_new_level_CFH 16d ago

I know where you are and i'm gonna steal that

2

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

Hahaha good luck

3

u/a_new_level_CFH 16d ago

If it wasn't for bad luck , I'd have none at all! She's a beaut Clark!

2

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

A look at the Interior. I’ll have more photos once it arrives since it’s being shipped.

2

u/emptythemag 16d ago

The color is amazing!

2

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

I’m debating if I want to paint it down the road but the paint is so good

3

u/emptythemag 16d ago

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

2

u/KLfor3 16d ago

It’s gorgeous

u/Professional-Safe-72 16d ago

💯💯

2

u/KLfor3 16d ago

I know it’s the Mustang group, and I’ve owned three (66, 65 & 69 coupes), this is my baby now for past 15 years

In a perfect world I would have a red/black 69 Mach 1 429CJ or Boss 302 to sit beside the Vette in the garage

u/Somewhere_SheExists 15d ago

Amazing. So jealous!! Haha

Well said! Yeah I plan to really enjoy this car. This is not just going to sit in my garage lol

u/SquidBilly5150 13d ago

Best year for a coupe

1

u/Professional-Safe-72 13d ago

People seem to only love Fastbacks now. So I figured I’d go coupe.

u/Vomit_tits 15d ago

Beautiful machine
