Vehicle History and Story
This 1968 Ford Mustang Coupe presents as a thoughtfully updated classic with a strong visual connection to one of the most iconic Mustangs in automotive history. Approximately two and a half years ago, the car was repainted in Highland Green Metallic, the same factory color associated with the 1968 Mustang Fastbacks used in the film Bullitt.

As part of the styling direction, the body man removed the exterior badges, keeping the car’s appearance in line with the clean, understated look famously associated with Steve McQueen’s Mustang. The result is a classic coupe with a subtle Bullitt-inspired presence while still retaining its own distinct identity.

The current owner purchased the Mustang in July 2024 and has since focused on improving its handling, safety, reliability, and overall comfort. Updates include steering and suspension work, braking system improvements, electronic ignition, upgraded cooling, electrical improvements, modern lighting, and added convenience features. These modifications were selected to make the car more enjoyable and confidence-inspiring to drive while preserving its classic Mustang appeal.

Mechanically, the Mustang is reported to start, idle, accelerate, drive, brake, and shift properly. The gauges are reported to operate properly, and the engine is reported to be free of leaks or drips left on the ground. The engine and transmission are both stated to be original-style components that have not been replaced.

The seller notes a few cosmetic and functional items, including a small quarter-sized dent on the lower trunk lid above the gas cap, very minor surface corrosion on some underbody components, a missing antenna mast, missing rear window knobs, driver-side wind wing rubber trim needing replacement, and aftermarket air conditioning that has been converted to R134A but is not currently operating.

Overall, this Highland Green 1968 Mustang Coupe offers classic V8 Mustang styling, a clean title, tasteful Bullitt-inspired presentation, and a long list of practical updates aimed at improving drivability and enjoyment.

Comes with original Arlen Ness unpainted saddle bags
