Imported to New Zealand by the current owner back in 1995, this 1968 Mustang Convertible has been cherished and carefully restored to retain as much originality as possible.
The car was stripped down and restored soon after arrival, with every detail attended to: the suspension and engine bay were rebuilt and rust-proofed, ensuring strength and reliability for years to come. While the engine was out, it was also refreshed and rebuilt, making this classic a smooth, effortless drive.
Wearing its factory-correct Presidential Blue, the Mustang proudly shows off mostly original paint, with only minor touch-ups where neededgiving it the authentic patina of a true survivor. The electric convertible top works perfectly, letting you drop it down and enjoy the open road in style.
An honest, well-cared-for example, this Mustang is backed by original Minnesota title documents and retains its factory data tag, reading:
