"Classic Mustang Cabriolet is a beautiful and easy-to-handle car with a 3-speed automatic gearbox, power steering, and nice road handling. Its electric roof works perfectly, and it is exempt from inspection/MOT forever."

Description

This Mustang, manufactured on April 5, 1968, in Metuchen, NJ, is equipped with a standard 289-2V engine and a C4 3-speed automatic gearbox. It features a power roof, power steering, bucket seats, and a black cabriolet roof. Originally painted Candy Apple Red (paint code "T") with a black vinyl interior ("2A"), the car was later repainted Royal Maroon and given a beige brown interior. Repainting cars during the 1970s was a common styling choice, especially for white or red vehicles.

The current owner imported the car from the USA in 2000 when it had 19,307 miles on the odometer. Presently, the mileage stands at just 23,926 miles, indicating that the owner has driven an average of only 200 miles per year. The car has been serviced and maintained by its owner, never driven in winter, and stored in a warm garage, with regular start-ups.

The owner spent a long time looking for an original car with low mileage, and the presence of old diagonal tires from the 1970s adds to the realistic mileage of 123,936 miles. It had 120,000 miles when it arrived in Sweden "see title".

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and runs smoothly, with a good sound. The automatic gears shift well, and the car handles nicely. It has electronic ignition, but the petrol gauge occasionally hangs. It is exempt from inspection/MOT and comes with original metal hub caps and older tires. Ready to drive home!

  • Interior condition:

    The beige seats in this Mustang are in great condition, clean, and free from any damages. The dashboard and instrumentation are original and fully functional. The electric roof operates flawlessly. A notable feature is the fold-out door handles (see pictures). There are some minor paint chips on the door cards, but overall, the interior is well-maintained. However, please note that the Philco radio is currently not connected.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is in great condition, with no signs of damages, dents, or rust. The underbody is remarkably clean, straight, and free from visible rust damage. The paintwork is overall nice and clean, with only very minor scratches in a few places that would easily be improved with a polish. The chrome work and details are well-maintained and have a nice, bright appearance. The cabriolet roof is complete and dry, although there are two small repair holes and a small crack in the side seam (see pictures).

  • General condition:

    Mustang is an all-time favorite, making it the perfect summer car to enjoy with your loved ones. It's ready for you to hop in and drive home.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
