This 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe offers a compelling blend of classic styling and modern mechanical upgrades, making it an excellent example of a tastefully restored American muscle car. At its heart is a professionally rebuilt and bored 302 V8 engine, meticulously handled by CD’s Engine Service. The rebuild brings new life and power to this iconic V8, ensuring reliable performance while preserving the essence of the original Mustang driving experience. Paired with a recently rebuilt AOD (automatic overdrive) transmission, the car delivers smooth shifts and enhanced drivability, particularly suited for those looking to enjoy both city cruising and highway driving with efficiency.The 9,165 miles logged since the engine rebuild, while marked as TMU (Total Mileage Unknown), suggest that this Mustang has been driven sparingly since its restoration, making it a lightly used yet fully capable classic. The upgraded 3.55 rear end gears add a performance-oriented touch, offering a balance of quick acceleration and relaxed cruising RPMs, ideal for a well-rounded driving experience.Cosmetically, the car has been treated to a fresh coat of its original Gulfstream Aqua, a vibrant and eye-catching color from Ford’s 1968 palette. The paintwork not only revitalizes the car’s appearance but also keeps it true to its factory specs. The body lines, characteristic of the first-generation Mustang, are sharp and well-defined, further accentuated by the gleaming Aqua finish.Inside, the restoration continues with brand-new seat upholstery and carpeting, ensuring that the cabin is as fresh and inviting as the exterior. The seating offers both comfort and authenticity, while the new carpeting enhances the overall clean and crisp interior atmosphere. This restoration elevates the car to a level where it can be proudly displayed at shows or enjoyed as a weekend cruiser, all while retaining the timeless Mustang appeal.With its combination of a refreshed powertrain, carefully selected performance upgrades, and faithful attention to both original detail and modern comfort, this 1968 Mustang Coupe is a perfect blend of classic heritage and thoughtful modernization.
