This 1968 Ford Mustang X-code convertible is a remarkable and rare vehicle, notable for both its historical significance and its exceptional state of preservation. It is one of only 67 convertibles produced that year with the 390 V8 engine and C6 automatic transmission. Further enhancing its rarity, this particular model is one of only three painted in Gulfstream Aqua, and it's one of just two that feature matching aqua bucket seats. Additionally, it is distinct in being the only one ordered having the option for deluxe wheel covers.
Originally owned by a single family and currently showing less than 45,000 miles on the odometer, this Mustang's authenticity is well-documented. The documentation includes the original sales paperwork, title, professional appraisals, a Marti report, registration records, and detailed service records. Notably, these records include the addition of an aftermarket exhaust in 1984 and a comprehensive engine rebuild conducted in 2009.
The car underwent a careful repaint in its original Gulfstream Aqua color between 2001 and 2003, ensuring it remains true to its factory specifications. Additionally, it has recently been fitted with a new convertible top. This combination of meticulous maintenance, thorough documentation, and original features makes this 1968 Mustang X-code convertible a unique and highly desirable piece of automotive history. Its rarity and condition place it among the most interesting examples of the Mustang lineage, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts of classic American muscle cars.
