1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback
VIN 8R01S123252
What’s special about this listing
Described by the seller as an extremely rare and highly desirable Mustang, this 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback represents one of the most sought-after configurations of the first-generation pony car. According to the seller, the included Marti Report documents this as a genuine S-code 390 GT with a factory 4-speed manual transmission, and the combination of Gulfstream Aqua paint with the Deluxe Parchment interior makes it one of just 74 built with this exact specification. The 1968 model year marked a pivotal moment for the Mustang, as Ford refined the fastback design and introduced the now-iconic body lines that would define the muscle car era.
The seller reports that the vehicle has been restored to a very high standard, including a rebuilt drivetrain with the 390ci V8 bored .030 over and fitted with new pistons. The engine compartment is said to be nicely detailed with a factory-correct appearance, retaining the correct fan shroud and functional windshield washer system. Additional reported upgrades include Wilwood front drilled and slotted disc brakes, a complete steering and suspension rebuild, air shocks in the rear, and a dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers exiting through the correct GT quad tips. The interior features reupholstered seats with optional headrests, both upper and lower consoles, woodgrain trim, and a retro-style stereo upgrade.
From a market perspective, comparable 1967–1968 Mustang GT Fastbacks have recently traded in a range from the low-$60,000s to nearly $160,000, with particular premiums commanded by documented S-code 390 cars featuring desirable options and quality restorations. The 1967–1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback market remains one of the most active and competitive segments in the classic muscle car world.

- Documented S-code 390 GT: Marti Report-verified genuine GT with the 320hp 390ci V8
