Description for Ford Mustang 1968

Only 2,300 miles since it was restored as a Shelby. It has some very desirable upgrades including air conditioning andn a 5-speed trans.
EXTERIOR: Everything about it says Shelby front to back, you can't tell it from the original. It has the Shelby fiberglass vented hood with the fiberglass nose cone around the unique grill with the fog lamps. On each side it has scoops on the upper and lower quarter panels with GT350 stripes. In back it has the dovetail fiberglass trunk and end caps. It also features the sequential turn signals with the Shelby gas cap in the middle. The 10-spoke aluminum Shelby wheels and the Cobra emblems the finish it off. The body and paint appeared to be in excellent condition as I walked around it. I eyeballed down the sides and across the tops, and it is really straight and everything fits exceptionally well. The Highland Green metallic paint was laid out evenly and it's clearcoat was polished out very smooth and glossy. It has a deep reflection. Upfront the bumper, trim, emblems, hood locks all look fresh. The windshield is very clear, the stainless moldings are good. In back the bumper, taillights and gas cap look new. The Shelby wheels are upgraded to 15 inch and have Goodyear tires. The door jambs are tidy, weatherstrips were replaced and it has the extended sill plates.
INTERIOR: Inside the car is restored very nicely. The seats have been reupholstered, it has the fold down sport seat in back. All the plastic trim is in real nice shape. The headliner is new and tight, visors and mirror looks new. The dash pad andl instrument bezels were replaced. It does have the factory tachometer and clock. Down on the floor the carpet is excellent, 5-speed shifter looks like the original with the reverse lockout. There is an upgraded Mustang stereo and upgraded air conditioning unit below the dash. Owner's manual is in the glove box. New door panels and armrests.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Performance built 289 motor is dressed up real slick within the aluminum Cobra valve covers and air cleaner on top. It has an aluminum intake with a giant dual feed Holley carburetor with electric choke. It also has a set of headers, MSD coil and a chrome alternator. Modern air conditioning system was installed neatly. It also features power steering. The engine bay is real clean, smooth metal painted satin black. It looks complete- washer bottle, battery hold down, fan shroud, horns, everything looks proper.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Trunk compartment has clean metal painted green. It has the plaid mat, jack and spare. Weatherstrip is soft. The compartment opens up into the backseat.
UNDERSIDE: The front end components look very fresh- control alarms, ball joints, sway bar bushings all look recent. It has been upgraded with a rack and pinion steering system. In back it has new shocks and tubular control arms. The bottom of the motor looks real clean, fuel pump and starter look new. Trans is upgraded with a 5-speed transmission. New custom driveshaft connects to it's original 3.00 posi rear. There is a nice sounding dual exhaust system with a crossover pipe and the chrome tips coming out through the valence. Disc brakes in front, e-brake cables are hooked up. The underbody looks like it's real clean metal: the floors, frame rails and torque boxes look good.
