Fully restored top to bottom turquoise gem ! Fully restored top to bottom turquoise california stock machine ! This fine gem has all the “bells and whistles” collectors will know with classic cars, the fewer hands that have been changed on a classic vehicle the better. Original owner owned the car for 40 years !! yes that is right ! The original owner purchased this beauty in 1968 and sold the vehicle to me in 2008 thus the car had a 40 year owner making me only the second owner. The vehicle was originally purchased and driven by a woman for transportation to and from work in 1968. This is a california car manufactured in 1968 at the san jose ford plant. It has won best of show trophies twice in california car shows. Car has been driven less then 4000 miles since restoration and it shows. Absolutely! this “gem in the wilderness” with this color combination is spectacular. Please take a good, long look at this attractive coupe. This beauty is completely rust free. The paint has a wonderful shine that looks right on the 49-year-old shape. It hasn't been over-dressed with stripes and spoilers, and instead remains a great example of the kind of mustang that car guys and gals have been enjoying for decades. Bright chrome bumpers, shiny stainless trim, and new emblems add to the highly detailed look. interior-the two-tone turquoise upholstery looks unbelievable in the no-nonsense pony car, an elegant combination that again belies the affordable price. The seat covers, door panels, and carpets are showroom quality. Factory instrumentation is highly detailed and with black faces and shiny chrome bezels, complemented with the wood grain dash they add a lot of eye candy to the mustang's interior. Not only does this car feature an upgraded center console with storage pocket but it also featured the an older am/fm/cassette radio powers speakers in the rear package shelf and still sounds great with custom motorized retracting antenna. With this 3 speed manual transmission one can chirp in both 1st gear and 2nd gear easily. Matching turquoise stick shift knob garnishes this interior to match. Unlike many other mustangs at this price, even the trunk is properly finished with a reproduction mat, no spare.. Engine- the 289 cubic inch v8 was mildly built to be entertaining on the street and detailed enough to attract attention at shows. Ford blue on the engine valve covers and air cleaner is period-perfect. All transmission and rear end are to original-specs, including the suspension. The list of new components is extensive, including the front suspension, shocks, control arm bushings, idler arm, tie rod ends, and new brake and fuel lines. Mufflers thru body duel exhaust give it that traditional mustang sound without getting obnoxious on the highway, so this is an excellent cruiser for long trips. This sports 15-inch “old school” crager type mag wheels (only non stock item other then steering wheel) with 215/60/hr15 front and rear bf goodrich t/a radials. Original oem steering wheel is kept in the trunk comes with the vehicle. All electric gauges, signals, in hood signals, interior and exterior lights are in perfect working order. The prior owner was a mechanic and completed the engine work himself and his son had a body show so all of the work hand crafted with family loving care all for mom’s car, as such there were no saved receipts but photos of the restoration process. .
