This is not the case with the Mustang GT in these photos.
While it might look like a regular fastback, this 1968 Mustang GT is actually unique. It’s not because of a feature it has, but because of a feature it doesn’t have, as it’s the only Mustang produced in 1968 in this configuration that did not have a radio.
The Marti report indicates how unique this Mustang is. Of all 1968 Mustang fastbacks fitted with a 390 four-barrel engine and a 4-speed transmission, only 275 examples were painted Lime Gold. This is the point where it’s getting rare. Only 123 cars shipped with black standard bucket seats, and only 94 sported the GT package. Tinted glass was installed on only 41 Mustangs, and 40 came with wide oval tires. Only a single Mustang rolled off the assembly lines without a radio.
As you can tell from the photos, this Mustang is no longer in tip-top shape, and it requires a complete overhaul in all key areas. The Lime Gold paint is just a memory now, so whoever buys the car will have to spray a new coat of paint. The rust has also become a major concern, so you should put this Mustang on a lift before making an offer. Chances are you won’t find good news under it, but you must know if regular patches would do it or if you need new floors.
The engine in charge of putting the wheels in motion is no longer the original 390, as indicated in the Marti report. The Mustang now flexes a 428 V8, but the good news is that it starts, runs, and drives. You can’t consider the car road-worthy yet.
The selling price seems a little ambitious, as the owner won’t let this Mustang go without someone first paying $45,000. The interest in the car is high, with 34 people already adding the car to their watchlists. However, the price is firm, and it’s unknown if anyone is already involved in takeover talks.
The vehicle is parked in Black, Alabama, and considering its condition, you’ll need a trailer to take it home. The listing posted by eBay seller reevashane23 will expire in half of a month, so you have enough time to arrange an in-person inspection.
