1968 Ford Mustang Coupe

Description

OFFERED AT NO RESERVE

The 1968 Ford Mustang built on the previous year’s refresh, retaining its longer body and more aggressive styling while adding side marker lights were added to meet new federal regulations.

Modifications on this blue-over-black ’68 Mustang Coupe are reported to include boring the 289ci V8 to 302ci during a 2000 overhaul as well as fitment of Cragar wheels and aftermarket audio components and instrumentation. A floor-shifted three-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

Since acquiring the car earlier in 2026, the seller reportedly replaced brake, ignition, and fuel system components, as well as the valve cover gaskets and various trim items. An overhauled carburetor has been installed, and the heater has been repaired.

This 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe is now offered at no reserve with a clean Missouri title in the seller's name.

Additional Information

From the seller: “This Mustang has received extensive mechanical and cosmetic updates. The original 289 V8 was professionally rebuilt and bored to a 302, with approximately 5,000 miles on the rebuild. At the same time, the transmission was rebuilt, and the engine was upgraded with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, upgraded intake manifold, and short-tube headers ... The body is straight, the chrome presents well, and the overall appearance turns heads wherever it goes.”
