In theory, restoring a 1968 Ford Mustang shouldn’t be such a difficult thing to do because the required parts can easily be found online. On the other hand, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’d be cheap.
It all depends on the car you’re trying to restore, and obviously, its condition, as some Mustangs out there require urgent fixes that just can’t be ignored; and certainly, not when the car’s selling price isn’t as low as you’d expect it to be.
This is the case of the 1968 Mustang fastback you’re looking at right here, as the owner has listed it on eBay as part of an auction supposed to come to an end this week.
Equipped with a 289-ci (4.7-liter) engine paired with an automatic transmission, the Mustang does run and drive, so theoretically, you should be able to drive it home after the purchase.
On the other hand, it comes with rust on several parts, and despite the owner claiming the “undercarriage is pretty solid,” fixing this should be the top priority for whoever buys it.
At first glance, rust on a 1968 car isn’t such a big surprise, especially if it hasn’t been stored exactly in the proper conditions. Nevertheless, the price of this Mustang keeps growing and growing, and the top bid at the time of writing is no less than $20,000, which may lead some people to wonder if restoring it is actually worth it.
The good thing is the interior is said to be complete and “very usable,” and judging by the photos also included in the gallery here, this is indeed true, with no major parts apparently missing.
What’s more, the reserve is yet to be met, so it remains to be seen if someone manages to get their hands on this Mustang when the auction comes to an end.
The car is parked in Memphis, Tennessee, and a deposit of $1,000 is required within 24 hours of the auction's end.
