Background Story of this 1968 Ford Mustang

Overview of 1968 Ford Mustang For Sale by Owner

A Ford Mustang, particularly a first-generation variant is a highly desirable car, but add the word 'Shelby' to the sentence, and it truly ascends into greatness. That's because renowned racer and tuner Carroll Shelby turned his attention to the Mustang and created a string of greats that still bear his name. If you're looking to pick up one of these epic cars, we've got a nice 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 E Restoration that's ripe for the taking. Let's find out what it brings to its next lucky owner.

Exterior and Interior

First off, the black metallic paint job on this 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 E Restoration makes it truly sinister in appearance, aided by the gray metallic over-the-top stripes. The current owner reports it to contain new quarter panels, new fenders, new chrome parts, and functional side scoops. We also observe new headlamps and foglamps adorning the menacing frontal outlook of this car. Rolling on a set of 17-inch 407 Shelby licensed extra-wide wheels with reportedly new Nitto tires, you're assured that this car has the go-factor to match its looks. Inside, there's said to be an all-new interior with leather-trimmed high-back bucket seats, an overhead console with map lights, a tilt steering wheel, a Hurst shifter, and Carroll Shelby signature gauges, including a tachometer. GT500 Eleanor-style seat belts keep everyone safe, while there's even a new Pioneer head unit with Bluetooth capabilities, broadening your choice of driving tunes to a great degree.

Engine

This 1968 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 E Restoration has received a heart transplant, with a 429ci Cobra Jet engine sitting under the hood that's said to be good for 500hp. A five-speed TKO-600 manual transmission and a 9-inch Positraction rear end with a 3.73 ratio handle power transfer to the road. Then, there's Holley Sniper fuel injection with self-tuning, complete MSD ignition, a Holley 850CFM double pumper, ported heads, custom-made stainless steel headers, an Edelbrock RPM air gap intake, a custom fuel tank and an electric fuel pump to keep the engine running smoothly and reliably. A Wilwood master cylinder and 4-wheel disc brakes take care of stopping, while steering is enhanced by a rack and pinion power steering system. Next up, the suspension has received a comprehensive overhaul. Highlights include a HEIDTS fully adjustable coilover setup and new Q1A shocks. With all that work, this 'Stang's next owner will be an extremely lucky person.

1969 Ford Torino Cobra

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$68,999

Ford’s Torino is a midsize car that was sold between 1968 and 1976. It also dabbled in the muscle car segment, with a prime example being this first-generation 1969 Ford Torino Cobra Jet. For buyers who wanted something tamer, there was a host of straight six or V8 powerplants, but the ultimate was the massive 428ci Cobra Jet V8. That’s what this Thousand Palms-based car offers, along with a Marti Report and just 21,000 miles on the clock. In fact, 1969 Cobras like this one are quite desirable due to their rarity since many Torino’s didn’t survive due to a variety of reasons. Perhaps they weren’t quite seen as preservation candidates way back then. Now, a car like this one isn’t a common occurrence, so if you wish to own this Cobra, contact us right now.

1933 Ford Model 40 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod Supercharged

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$60,000

A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.

PENDING SALE
$31,999

Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.

PENDING SALE
$69,999

Chevy’s second-generation or C2 Corvette has got to be the one with the shortest production run! It was made between 1963 and 1967, and just under 118,000 units were produced during this time. However, the C2 brought us many Corvette features such as pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Sting Ray badge. That’s why getting your hands on a C2 is a smart idea, albeit not one of the easiest. Happily, we have this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible for sale from Newtown, Pennsylvania. The car has just 5,764 miles on it and looks fabulous!
