Offering a 1968 Mustang Fastback 2x2. This car has been sitting for a few years. It's a true 289 2v v8 C4 Auto transmission. It has a Holley 4 barrel on it now. The door tag indicates that this was scheduled for build in Sept 14, 67 and was actually produced in Nov 1967 (Marti Report below). I have not attempted to run this car. The person I purchased it from indicated that it "blew a head gasket" and the car has sat ever since outdoors in a driveway. He was the second owner as the title shows he had purchased it in 10/80. This car has been untouched in many years. I have done nothing with this car except find it and post it on eBay. This car would be a great candidate for ground up restoration. Underneath the car would need work as it is rusted! - I'm not a auto body guy but I can see the need for floor pans (example: for sale here on eBay for sale here on eBay) as under this car is rusted! A few notables about this 68, the dash cluster has a tack and clock (I've read that that was fairly rare). It also has Shelby Cobra style rims (need restored) that were added sometime in the past as well as the back window louvers (great shape) as you can see this in the picture.
I went ahead for a few dollars and purchased the Marti Report and can be viewed here.
For the demand as many, in more capable hands then mine, are building Bullitt's and Eleanor's out of them I can see the profit in this car. So there is a reserve. If you hit it, you will have yourself a nice project and in the end a beautiful and profitable car.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding! Contact me with additional questions.
Happy to assist in shipping - meaning you pay for it but I will work with you and your shipper for scheduling and to get it on the truck.

Blue Oval's new Cargo cab-over rig is largest "One Ford" initiative yet
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The imposing commercial truck above has a feature that might be surprising to most Autoblog readers - a Blue Oval emblem on the front. Here in North America, Ford simply doesn't play in the eighteen-wheeler sandbox, but that doesn't mean that the Dearborn-based automaker is absent in the heavy hauling space in other parts of the globe. In fact, Ford presently fields two completely different big rig ranges under the Cargo moniker - one a product of an Eastern Europe/Turkey joint venture, and another from Brazil. But that's about to start changing with the advent of this new cab-over model seen here.
Unveiled in São Paulo, Brazil, this new generation of Cargo is perhaps the largest physical embodiment of CEO Alan Mulally's "One Ford" global streamlining strategy. Instead of multiple models, company engineers have developed a new single truck that it says will better meet the needs of truckers in all markets. Designed to compete in what's known as the "extra heavy-duty segment" elsewhere in the world, this Cargo was developed jointly by Ford engineering teams in Brazil, Turkey and Europe.
Specifics remain hard to come by (read: unreleased), but Ford is promising an all-new engine enabling hauling capability of up to 56 tons while still returning excellent fuel economy. Ford's global Cargo lineup will henceforth consist of a dozen models, but Ford tells Autoblog has no plans to bring this hot and heavy-duty action to North America.
Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
