1968 Ford Mustang

1968 J-code original Highland Green Mustang Convertible, V8 manual transmission, runs, drives and stops, not inspected, needs work to get road worthy. Great restoration candidate as original or Shelby clone. Fuel tank with sending unit, tires, and radiator have all been replaced, brakes have been redone. The original carburetor has been replaced with an AFB type aftermarket carburetor. Original quarter panels have very minor rust in the very bottom outside skins, RH rear quarter has some small dents up top where someone already started sanding, both quarters are original and are repairable without replacing, trunk drops are good. Some parts of the floor have been previously repaired. Small areas of rust in each of the doors at the front lower corners. Fender aprons do not show the usual signs of rust, holes have been cut shock towers for greasing the upper control arm bushings. Frame rails appear good and solid, this is a very solid car compared to most, especially convertibles, will need minor patches in the rusty areas noted. Windshield has a few chips. Hood has a little rust at the front lower inner shell, very fixable and a pretty straight hood overall. Trunk lid is damaged, an extra used original is included with the car. It's a perfect candidate for a Shelby clone as an original J-Code 302. Odometer registers 91,246 but it is unknown if this is actual mileage. Engine sounds very good, like it has some compression as a J-code should. Texas license plates are not included. Please see the pictures, ask all questions before bidding.
