General description :
Description
Upgraded V8 power and a nice color combo mean this 1968 Ford Mustang convertible is that ideal mix of cool classic American icon that's also a great car to enjoy on the streets.
Burgundy is a very cool color to have on a convertible like this. After all, we love red Mustangs, and so this gives you a similar tone but with a deeper sophistication. It has a nice shine that looks right for a sunshine-friendly convertible, but it will never be mistaken for a trailer queen that doesn't want to go for a drive. In fact, this one is really made to be enjoyed. After all, those upgraded 17-inch alloys mean you get to mount modern driving tires. It has the nice look of a later-first-gen car with a deeper side scallop and the optional Deluxe hood. This even has a Boss-style front spoiler. The power convertible top is done in a tasteful tan, and it has the look of a newer investment. So this one even looks good with roof in place.
The parchment interior means you get a similar timelessly attractive color combo even when the top is down. There's also newer brown carpeting that goes nicely with the wood-like trim for a very tasteful look. You get driver-oriented features right from the factory, like the bucket seats and the later first-gen car's upgraded gauge package. Plus, there are a ton of great upgrades. A modern center console means a nice armrest and cup holders. The wood-rimmed steering wheel feels great in your hands. And the upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input for your phone means you have access to the best in modern driving music.
1968 was the first year the 302 cubic-inch V8 was available, but this one takes it to a whole new level. It has a great look with a tidy engine bay and plenty of polish on places like the air grabber, tower support, and Mustang branded valve covers. This full package has a sharp appearance because it was done only in about the last six years. Not only does it look great, but also you'll really love the added performance of a Holley four-barrel carburetor, upgraded intake, and a mild cam. It's even supported by the right features, like upgraded belt/pulley system and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. It's a strong package that fires up nicely and makes a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. And because this was made for enjoying the drive, you have a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes with upgraded front discs.
You're looking at a classic that's ready to open up and enjoy the sunny days today. It's a desirable convertible that's eager to run for the first person quick enough to harness this well-sorted pony. Call now!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
