1968 Ford Mustang

1968 Ford Mustang Coupe â?" 289 V8, Solid Floors, Clean Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1968 Ford Mustang occupies a specific and important place in the car's history. It was the first year Ford restyled the original 1964-and-a-half platform in any meaningful way, adding a longer body with more pronounced rear quarter panels, sequential turn signals on the fastback, revised front end styling with a wider grille opening, and side scoops that gave the car a more purposeful look than the 1967 model it replaced. The overall silhouette grew slightly in every direction, but Ford was careful to keep the weight manageable and the proportions honest. What often gets lost in the conversation about 1968 Mustangs is just how many of them were built.
