You've always wanted a Mustang but by the time you were old enough to afford one they were all priced out of reach. Well guess again because this solid 1968 Mustang convertible hits all the right notes with a bargain-basement bottom line. OK so it's a six cylinder but most of them were back in the '60s. The fire-breathing V8 muscle that we expect today is a legend created by a select few while a great majority of Mustang buyers were perfectly content to motor around in cars just like this one. With a bright Candyapple Red paint job it sure looks the part of first-class summertime fun but it hasn't been over-restored modified or converted to some kind of tribute to something it never was in the first place. The bodywork is quite straight and it sure looks like this car has lived all its life without experiencing the misery of winter weather. You'll also be pleased to show this one off because the chrome is good all the badges are intact and the grille is excellent so you need to do exactly nothing to get it ready to cruise. The matching red interior has a few liberties taken but you'll appreciate them the moment you put the top down in the sun. Comfortable fabric inserts have been stitched into the original seats replacing the hot sticky vinyl and making the car vastly more pleasant on those days where the sun is shining hot. But other than that the interior is remarkably stock including some very nice door panels correctly fitted carpets and a very handsome 3-spoke steering wheel. Even the six-cylinder models got a pretty complete array of gauges all of which are in original condition. The carpets show a little fading but that's the nature of convertibles especially red convertibles but it somehow adds to this car's honest look. It isn't trying too hard like a lot of other Mustangs you'll see. But it does have a few pleasant surprises including the freshly fitted trunk mat and matching spare tire cover. For years the 200 cubic inch inline-six was the Mustang's base engine and with today's $4.00/gallon gas perhaps it's time to re-visit the thrifty pony car. This same engine worked well in Ford trucks and it's peppy around town with a nice grumble to the exhaust. It has been recently dressed up with Ford Blue paint and still has all its original equipment from the air cleaner to the cast iron exhaust manifold. Even more important is the rust-free chassis which looks fantastic after 45 years of cruising. The C4 automatic feeds a set of highway-friendly 2.83 gears and without a big V8 up front the ride is comfortable and braking secure. Original hubcaps are framed by a set of 205/70/14 whitewall radials that have a lot of life left in them. Find out what early Mustang owners already knew-the six is a great alternative.
