Merit Cars Presents: An honest, largely original first-generation Mustang convertible that still retains much of its factory character. This 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible is finished in its factory Candyapple Red (T) over a Black Crinkle Vinyl interior (2A). Powered by the desirable 289 V8 and paired with a 3-speed manual transmission, it offers the classic driving experience that made the Mustang an American icon. It is also equipped with a factory power convertible top. Having survived remarkably intact over the years, this Mustang presents as a wonderful time capsule. The paint, chrome and interior all show honest age, giving the car tremendous authenticity and charm. Mechanically, the car is surprisingly strong. The 289 starts easily, idles smoothly and delivers good power. The transmission shifts nicely, while the clutch and brakes operate as they should. It is a car that can be enjoyed immediately while being improved over time. The body remains largely original. The rear quarter panels show evidence of earlier rust repair, while the floors remain largely intact. There is rust present in the front frame rails and torque boxes, making this an excellent candidate for sympathetic restoration rather than a heavily restored example. The power-operated convertible top functions properly and the car comes complete with a spare wheel, jack and additional parts. Whether you are looking for an enjoyable weekend cruiser, an honest survivor, or a rewarding restoration project, this V8 Mustang Convertible represents an excellent opportunity. Equipment includes: • Factory 289 V8 • 3-speed manual transmission • Factory power convertible top • Candyapple Red exterior • Black Crinkle Vinyl interior • Spare wheel • Jack • Extra parts Price: $13,950
