Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
A 1968 Ford Mustang GT California Special project car, this Highland Green coupe is powered by a retrofitted 289ci V8 and a four-speed manual transmission.
While recently updated with rebuilt brakes, suspension, and interior elements, it requires an engine rebuild due to low compression and has several noted cosmetic flaws.
Condition
4
The car is described as a running-and-driving project with several noted issues including low compression in cylinder #2 requiring an engine rebuild, a cracked taillight, a non-working backup light, a loose hood latch base, leaking valve covers, and a loose shift knob. The speedometer is also inaccurate. While some areas like the brakes, front suspension, and interior have been recently refreshed, the mechanical and cosmetic issues prevent a higher rating.
