The floorpans, torque boxes, and subframes are all painted and finished off as nice as the rest of the car! She still wears her original color of Gulfstream Aqua with a black interior.

Other options include A/C, power steering, power brakes, vinyl interior, seat belts, radial tires, rally wheels, and front disc brakes. According to the seller, this Mustang underwent a $50,000+ rotisserie restoration, and it shows! Upgrades to the appearance are limited, as the owner wanted a mostly stock looking Mustang. But, you will notice the subtle cowl hood, giving this car a bit more muscle. Under the hood is a mildly built 302 with upgraded intake, carburetor, MSD ignition system, and headers running to dual exhaust. Dressed up with black Mustang valve covers, Mustang air cleaner, and even a Mustang AC compressor cover! What makes this Mustang rare? I’m glad you asked! The 5th digit of the VIN is a J. That means this car came with the ‘new to 1968’ small block 302 that became world famous soon after! It was optional to the 289, and most people stuck with the well known and reliable 289. Some were rewarded for their $171.77 upgrade, putting down 35 more horsepower than its predecessor. If that’s not enough for you, this is one of 9,009 Deluxe coupes made in 1968! Out of 317,404 Mustang produced, less than 3% of these came with this package! In the trunk you will find a correct trunk mat kit and a few extra speakers thrown in for good measure.
