Some cars speak to the soul of a driver. The 1968 Ford Mustang Custom Convertible goes further, it roars directly into your bloodstream. Finished in a moody Pepper Gray and built to make every glance count, this isn’t just a ride, it’s a full-blown experience.
An Exterior With Serious Attitude
Every inch of the body was touched with intention. Thanks to Maier Racing’s E-body kit, the flared steel fenders and side exhaust outlets deliver a menacing look. Custom rockers and tubbed rear fenders match the functional hood scoop with aggressive flair. A $79,000 investment in paint and bodywork shows in every reflection.
Modern Power With Old-School Grit
Underneath the hood sits a 427 CI stroker V-8 built on a 351 Dart Iron Eagle block. It’s packed with AFR aluminum heads, a SCAT crankshaft, Mahle pistons, and a Comp Cams camshaft. In 2024, the Holley Sniper fuel injection took tuning to the next level. Tubular headers and JBA side exhaust push out deep growls, while the Tremec TKO600 5-speed sends that power to a Ford 9-inch rear with 31-spline axles.
Performance That Commands Respect
Chris Alston suspension components and QA1 coilovers keep this beast planted. The SSBC 4-wheel disc brake system means you stop with authority. And for extra flair, nitrous hides in the trunk, ready to give the extra jolt when desired.
Interior That Mixes Shelby DNA With Custom Comfort
Step inside and you’ll see front seats from a 2008 Shelby GT500, matched in black with reupholstered rear seats. The pushbutton starter adds convenience, while a hidden back-up camera inside the fuel filler cap keeps things stealthy.
Custom Wheels & Finer Details
It rolls on custom-made 17-inch Halibrand-style wheels wrapped in 245/45 tires up front and wide 315/35s at the rear. Add the aluminum fuel filler, billet hood hinges, dual electric fans, and full Dynamat sound insulation, and you get a complete package of cool, comfort, and control.
Summary
The 1968 Ford Mustang Custom Convertible combines high-performance muscle with unique craftsmanship. It honors its roots while roaring into the present, built to turn heads, dominate the roads, and deliver an unforgettable ride.
