how much is a 1968 mustang hardtop worth?

Question

Accepted Answer

Based on recent market data for 1967-1968 Ford Mustang Hardtops, here's what you can expect:

**Current Market Range: $22,000 – $39,000**

Looking at comparable modified '68 Mustang Hardtops with automatic transmissions, prices vary quite a bit based on condition, mileage, and equipment:

- **Auction Results**: Recent sales include **$22,000** at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale and **$15,500** on Bring a Trailer (lower mileage example at 21,000 miles)
- **Dealer Listings**: Currently asking prices range from **$27,000** up to **$38,995** for nicely modified examples with under 50,000 miles

The specific car you're looking at (the Sunlit Gold hardtop at Hanksters Hot Rods) has some nice value-adds:
- Edelbrock aluminum heads, intake & 4-barrel carb (performance upgrades)
- Factory-style air conditioning (big plus for drivability!)
- Power steering & power front disc brakes
- Marti Report documentation
- ~33,000 indicated miles

Given the modifications and equipment, I'd estimate this particular car would be valued in the **$28,000 – $35,000 range**. The sweet spot really depends on how the work was done and how well it presents in person.
