The 1968 Ford Mustang GT remains one of the most iconic American muscle cars ever produced, celebrated for its aggressive styling, powerful V8 engine options, and historic pop-culture legacy.
The 1968 Mustang GT Fastback achieved legendary status after starring in the 1968 film Bullitt. Driven by Steve McQueen, a modified Highland Green GT Fastback engaged in a groundbreaking, 10-minute car chase through San Francisco. This cemented the '68 Fastback as a permanent symbol of cool in automotive history.
The GT Equipment Group was strictly a performance and appearance package available for V8-powered hardtops, fastbacks, and convertibles. The engine lineup included:
- 302 cu in V8: Introduced in 1968 to replace the 289, pushing 230 horsepower.
- 390 cu in "S-Code" V8: A formidable big-block engine producing 325 horsepower.
- 428 cu in Cobra Jet V8: Introduced mid-year (often called the 1968.5 model), this legendary motor produced a underrated 335 horsepower but massive street performance.
The 1968 model brought subtle but distinct styling and federally mandated safety revisions to the 1967 body redesign:
- Side Markers: Flush-mounted front and rear side marker lights were added for safety.
- Clean Hood: The "F-O-R-D" block lettering was completely removed from the front edge of the hood.
- GT Package Accents: Features included fog lamps integrated into the grille, dual exhaust tips, "GT" hubcaps or styled steel wheels, and distinct C-stripe side graphics.
- Interior Safety: : Upgraded with a two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel and newly introduced shoulder belts.
This all original Mustang was originally sold new at Holiday Motor Corp in Blacksburg (now Duncan Ford) and has just 18,000 actual miles. It has a Marti report to verify it's pedigree as well as the window sticker and original options list. It has been a part of the Duncan Imports collection since 2025.
