    I own (45 years) a 68, J-Code, 4-speed, Highland Green Deluxe Fastback. Upper and lower consoles, with factory air. According to my Marti Report, it’s a One of One as ordered from the factory (San Jose).

    Also competing manufacturers introduced their own pony cars. 1967 saw the new Barracuda, Camaro, Firebird and Cougar. 1968 Added the Javelin/AMX as well as the first low buck stripped down muscle cars like Road Runner and Super Bee. Lots of options for young buyers.

    Hi and thanks for the video. I also have a 1968 (1/2) Mustang with the 302. Why doesn't anyone in these videos mention about how back then the Mustang was designed for the windows to be rolled down and when they are it is not like a wind tunnel inside. The aerodynamics of the car allows, yes, airflow inside the car but yet you can talk and a woman with longer hair doesn't get thrashed around by her own hair. Just makes for a more pleasant ride. This is the first time I have mentions this in probably hundreds of videos I have seen. You are welcome. :) :) Next time out for a test drive in one of these fine rides take notice of this. It's quite amazing if you think about it and compare it to a modern car. Our vehicles here at home there is no way we could get out on the highway and go to the cabin! Long drive. I think it should be part of the profile you are speaking, but just my thought. Keep cruzin!!

    Nice car. In my experience I have also found the VIN number stamped on a smooth pad on the upper left of the block behind the intake on 68 J code Mustangs. You have to climb on top and bounce a light off a mirror to see it when the engine is in the car.

    Love the original interior, original gauges, everything OEM correct. I hate hybrid classics with strange dashboard, odd gauges. Original aqua marine interior looks pretty, odd, usually used with french vanilla paint job and factory tinted windows. I really appreciate a factory stick shift, kind of miss the 3-speed, drove most people nuts, made me laugh. The only thing missing is a balanced & blue printed motor for extra durability and hardcore fun. YEP! I would love to buy a car like that, however, you couldn't leave it alone on a street. Today's generation would sit on it for selfies, or key the paint out of jealousy. Crazy fools would definitely brake check you to wreck it or damage it.

    Why does this guy keep talking about chevy motors when these cars are FORD MUSTANGS

    • @HoneyTone-TheSearchContinues
      @HoneyTone-TheSearchContinues 11 місяців тому

      Because back in the day Camaro was a direct competitor to Mustang and had more small block V8 options (307, 327 & 350s) in their first gen cars. They offered more horsepower for a given amount of money, so people buying performance pony cars back then compared them, and those same folks today or their kids might be buying survivors like this one with the same considerations.
      Like you, I don’t think he needs to talk about the competition because in the nostalgia market, folks will likely only look at what they already like. But maybe that’s just me. I bought my first car in 69 and I was looking strictly at Mustang fastbacks (for the looks) and Roadrunners (for the power). I didn’t care about owning the other pony cars, and I still don’t - no matter how much fun I had (and have) driving them over he years.

Saw a 67 Fastback with a 427 FE BB and a 4 spd. Imagine the shock on the faces of the BB chevy boys when they realized too late , WAIT THAT AINT NO SB INDER THE HOOD. LOL
