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.
