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.

2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Supercharged

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$94,999
SOLD

Ford’s famous pony car, the Mustang, just keeps on galloping and galloping! Even with the proliferation of EVs and the relentless customer demand for SUVs, this legendary nameplate is still around to this day. It’s now in the seventh generation which debuted in 2024, and shows no signs of slowing down. Ever since the first Mustangs rolled off the Dearborn lines in mid-1964, the Mustang has represented the everyperson sports car, aptly called a pony car. Today’s 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse is from the seventh generation, and is a special variant with enhanced performance for the streets, much in the vein of the original Boss Mustang 302 of the Sixties. With its 5.0-liter V8, Dark Horse badging and carbon-fiber hood, this Havana-based car boasts just 2,000 miles on the odometer.

1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$32,990
SOLD

Behold, the famous Fox Body Mustang, also known as the third generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Introduced in 1979, the Fox Body would go on until 1993, and the successor would also use its platform. Now, Fox Bodies are becoming desirable by a segment of enthusiasts who recognize its distinctiveness and quirks too. And yes, the Fox came with a V8 engine option too. Case in point, this fine 1987 Ford Mustang GT Convertible from Cumming, Georgia. This car packs a scarcely believable 4,400 miles, making it a nice time capsule of sorts. It’s got a Marti report included with the sale, and rocks a white soft top. Oh, and of course, there’s a 302 under the hood.

2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$242,500
SOLD

This 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is a fine sixth-generation car for someone who’s mad about the Mustang. Ford’s famous pony car is a universal favorite of all petrolheads, after all. Those who don’t respect it soon learn to do so, but those who treat it right will swear that it’s the best thing they’ve ever driven. That statement is even truer for high-performance variants like this one, since it’s a Shelby Mustang. Now, with just 686 miles on the clock, this car could be yours. It resides in St. Simons Island, Georgia, and has reportedly been repainted in Young Gun Gray. It’s also equipped with a GT500 widebody kit and a 22-inch set of Triumph Performance forged wheels. The car also has the Handling Package, Technology Package and Equipment Group 950A Package.

1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$69,900

Now here’s a veritable legend up for grabs in Camarillo, California! This 1948 Ford F-5 Flatbed Restomod is one of the very first Ford F-Series trucks to hit the roads, as 1948 was the launch year for the F-Series, now in its fourteenth generation as of 2026. Can you think of any other nameplate that has endured for over seven decades like this (OK fine, we know, the Corvette, but this precedes that by five years). This lovely vintage truck has a host of upgrades and boasts just 3,120 miles since then. It’s got a plucky 454ci V8 under the hood, a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission, a custom wood bed, and more to enjoy.

1969 Pontiac GTO

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$41,500

A defining muscle car of the late 60s, the 1969 Pontiac GTO captured the era’s spirit with brute V8 power and unmistakable styling. This example, finished in green over a black interior, is reportedly powered by a 400ci V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission and remains largely true to its factory configuration. Tasteful updates such as modern air-conditioning and Bluetooth audio enhance usability while preserving the car’s classic personality. With its strong mechanical foundation and desirable drivetrain, this GTO offers a proper blend of originality, comfort, and vintage American muscle.

1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$69,000

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$124,999

The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
