The most popular pony of them all is pretty collectible, too, as long as it’s a first-generation car produced between the 1965 and 1973 model years. The Highland Green-painted Mustang in the photo gallery spent the last 10 years on a hay farm, and it’s the total opposite of collectible due to its condition. Nevertheless, the seller asks $34,000 for it.
“Wait, is this price for real?” That’s almost as much as a brand-new Mustang GT, but as opposed to the pony car of today, a blast from the past will also demand a premium thanks to the nostalgia that comes with every old car.
Offered by carlj22585 on eBay, the barn find hides a 302 (4.9L) under the hood that turns over even though the fuel tank has been removed. Why, you ask? Take a look at the undercarriage photos, then imagine how much tender loving care this Mustang needs to get back on the road. The worst spot is the driver floor, and the rear part of the front rail definitely needs replacing.
Bubbles in the paintwork, the corroded exhaust system, trunk compartment, and engine bay all need time and money to be fixed. Offered with the apron VIN, door tag, VIN tag, buck tag, and a clean title in the seller’s name, the Mustang is equipped with power steering, power brakes, and the three-speed SelectShift Cruise-O-Matic offered as an option for the 302 engine.
The 5.0-liter V8 in the Challenger Special specification isn’t exactly the most desirable powerplant for the 1968 model year, but it’s good enough for 230 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 310 pound-feet (420 Nm) of torque at 2,800 rpm. Designed to run at a compression ratio of 10.0 to 1, the 302 takes five quarts of oil (4.73 liters) and it’s fed by a four-barrel carburetor.
With six days of bidding left, the ‘Stang currently sits at $22,100 after 17 bids. Of course, the reserve hasn’t been met at the time of reporting.
