This Restomod 1968 Convertible Looks as Nostalgic as Ever
This Mustang has been upgraded with some of the modern touches we know and love.
Restoration
This 1968 Mustang was fully restored in 2019 using the original rust-free sheet metal. No bolt has been left untouched as this beauty was totally disassembled during the restoration process. NOS parts were used when needed.

Engine
Under the hood sits a 302 ci powerplant which produces 325 horsepower hooked up to a 4-speed manual transmission. This powerplant features a 4-barrel carburetor and a Performer manifold.

It Handles
You'll notice that this model sits a little lower than it did originally. Its new stance is in thanks to the lowered suspension which the previous owner fitted. Pulling everything up to a halt are four-wheel power disc brakes.

Inside, you'll find custom upholstery and a factory center console. This car is 51-years-old but it's sound system certainly isn'twith a Bluetooth and Sirius XM connectivity.

Wheels
Look down and you'll see four custom American Racing Wheels which complement this car's lowered look perfectly. You'll also have plenty of grip from the Cooper tires that wrap these rims.

Completing the Look
Completing this Mustang's look is a new convertible top, a Flowmaster dual exhaust, and an aluminum radiator. This model surely turns more than a few heads when it hits the streets.
