1968 Ford Mustang Coupe

Description

The 1967 model year marked the first major revision for the Mustang since its 1964 debut. Driven by the necessity to remain competitive against the new rivals from Chevrolet and Pontiac, Ford engineers initiated a comprehensive update. The body was widened and lengthened, giving the Mustang a more aggressive stance while preserving its iconic long‑hood, short‑deck proportions. The suspension was refreshed, and the interior shifted from the twin-cowl dashboard toward a more driver-focused instrument cluster. These changes improved comfort and safety, and Ford introduced different interior appearance package options.

This ‘68 Mustang is powered by a 200ci inline-six, which sends power to the wheels through a C4 automatic transmission. It was acquired in February 2017 by the seller, who notes the interior was reupholstered under previous ownership, while work under their care has reportedly included a repaint of the exterior, installation of power-assisted front disc brakes, a rebuild of the transmission, and replacement of the carburetor, alternator, starter, and tires.

This 1968 Ford Mustang coupe is now offered with a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.
