DEPOSIT TAKEN……and SOLD.
1968 Mustang Fastback 289 4 Speed Manual – Matching numbers – Last two owners had the car for nearly 30yrs between them.
As you can see this car is simply beautiful and in just about ‘perfect’ condition (And we don’t very often use the ‘P’ word at Shmoo).
Subject to a 6.5yr nut and bolt rebuild, this car has been gone through with a fine-toothed comb and stands up to any inspection.
The car is still wearing all of its original panels and has never had any arches or repair panels. The only welding was to a floor pan that was replaced when the restoration was carried out. (See the details of this in the attached article).
We are selling the car for the current custodian who has gone to extremes to make this car ‘just so’. The attention to detail, love and dedication shown to this car in his ownership is something that very many people aspire to… but only very few ever actually achieve. The sort of restoration and care reserved for cars of far greater value and would only ever be carried out by someone doing it for the love of the car and the story behind it.
It would be very difficult in our opinion to find another car for sale that comes close to this car and it’s not a car you want to miss if this is your dream spec Mustang!
Speaking of the spec…It’s the one we’d all want, a ’68 fastback, 4 speed manual and a matching numbers fully rebuilt 289 V8.
It’s a sweet engine and as much as we all might think we want a huge unit, in the real world, practical classic car ownership land the smooth 289 is the car to drive on the busy roads we all now have to deal with.
Price wise, these cars are just going up and up. The best examples of any classic car are still soaring and this car is certainly ‘One of the best examples’ out there.
