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.

If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang.

Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.

2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,499
SOLD

In 2005, Ford revealed the all-new fifth generation Mustang to the public. This was a significant moment, because the fourth generation was really old in the tooth. It would sit on a totally new platform, and have styling that harked back to the original first-generation as well. The fifth generation also marked the return of the Shelby Mustang. This fine association was prevalent in the first generation, when Carroll Shelby’s outfit tuned Mustangs to become thoroughbred racehorses! In 2007, the Shelby GT500 for the fifth generation was released, and we have an under 10,000-mile example for sale now. This car comes with the original window sticker too, making it a definite must-have for the discerning collector, or someone who wants a relatively rare Mustang to enjoy.

2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$22,500

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.

PENDING SALE
$44,999

The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.

1957 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$114,999

In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
