This is a True Texas car. Has been in storage since 1997. Car was restored as a driver sometime before then. Motor had been rebuilt and new paint somewhere prior to 1997. Car still looks good and runs good. When I first got it I had to basically replace everything that took fluid. The following has been done in last year....New gas tank, new fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor, New radiator and new water pump and most hoses, power steering rack and reservoir, New power brake booster and master cylinder ,new brakes and wheel cylinders. new clutch....also has new vintage air/heat assembly brand new and never been charged yet (heat does) Its R34 so pretty easy to charge. Inside the car has new front carpet,new door panels and armrest,new dash,,,,seats,headliner are the factory original I think. They are old, showing some where but plenty good for daily driving and good shape. Instrument cluster and dash trim is yellowed and old but I have all new stuff in the boxes and go with car. Also have new roof rail rubber and maybe other stuff. Interior lights work, all gauges in dash work like they should,rear dome lights, and even the radio (but has no antennae....no hole for one?) Outside it has a GT hood with working turn signals,new front bumper,new emblems on fenders. Paint looks really nice for nearly 20 years old...has one round paint blemish on cowl pass about size of half dollar...few chips here and there. Rear bumper original. Silver with pewter racing stripes. All turn signals,park lights and brake lights work...wipers work and horn when it wants too. Tires look new but are old and need balanced or replaced. Cragar old school mags. Car has the factory 289....it has heat plugs so has been rebuilt at some time. It runs good and dont smoke or get hot. Trans is borg warner 4 spd and shifts perfect with factory shifter. Has 2.79 hywy gears. Underneath is clean and looks good with normal wear. Body looks good and not wavy and dont think ever wrecked. Inside quarters look good and no bodywork showing anywhere. I bought to make a Shelby clone but everyone yells at me to not screw up this car because its a nice survivor. I drive around here and it fires up instantly and is a fun car.....I would drive it anywhere ( maybe tires if a long ways) Car would make a Shelby GT350 or BULLIT car real easy. This one is nice because has all pwr accessories . CAR IS 45 YEARS OLD SO NO WARRANTY....AS IS.....CAR IS FOR SALE LOCAL AND WILL PULL AD IF SOLD ....IF RESERVE MET IT RUNS TILL SOLD ON HERE. $500 NON REFUNABLE DEPOSIT TO COVER LISTING.

I had someone ask me the color and I guessed teal by looking under some rubber, I got a Mart Report and the color is Brittany Blue (Q code )which also explains the blue steering wheel cover. It was built Dec 7th 1967 . 4 speed and other stuff is correct. Had a guy wanted to trade in his Mustang and went to see it. I would take a nice builder in trade.....but I do not want a car wrecked or all the parts lost.....a hull is not worth $10,000 to me. I have a nice 1965 GT350 Shelby so not hard up on Mustangs. If you have a nice 65-68 FASTBACK ONLY that is complete .....I dont care about motor,trans,metal or chrome.....seats and interior must be 100% there and not busted. I might take a convertible 67/68.......I still want to build a Shelby GT 500. My phone is listed...feel free to call about car. Also car has a clear Texas blue Title.

On Feb-12-13 at 13:18:54 PST, seller added the following information:

I have a standing offer if the car does not sell.....I have lowered the buy it now and reserve price to reflect this. Most mustangs on here are basket cases requiring thousands of work or high end cars requiring thousands more to buy. This car is a nice unmolested basically original car in a medium price range for a 1968 fastback.

Ford Announces Free Brake-Pad Offer If Customers Stop By Dealers

Mon, Aug 4 2014

These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers. "We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts. Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1. "This program reflects our commitment to providing customers with an excellent ownership experience regardless of the age of their vehicle," said Frederiek Toney, President of Ford Customer Service, in the company's announcement of the offer.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.

2016 Ford Explorer revealed with new 2.3-liter EcoBoost

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

A 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder takes over where the old 2.0 left off, making 270 hp and 300 lb-ft.
Right now, around 23 percent of all Ford vehicles sold in the United States is a utility vehicle. By 2020, Ford expects that figure to increase all the way to 29 percent. Put simply, SUVs and crossovers are very big business at Ford. So, when it comes time to update the Explorer, Ford's original sport utility vehicle, you can be sure that a whole heck of a lot of effort goes into the process.
