Description
1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback – S-Code 390ci V8, 4-Speed Manual, Highland Green over Black, Marti Report & Window Sticker
This 1968 Ford Mustang GT fastback is a factory S-code example, equipped with a 390ci V8 and 4-speed manual transmission—one of just 3,708 built in this configuration for the model year. Finished in Highland Green over a black interior, this GT was restored under prior ownership in Texas, including a full exterior and interior color change from its original Royal Maroon over red. Now showing approximately 76,000 miles, this Mustang is offered with a Marti Elite Report, copy of the original window sticker, restoration photos, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
Sold new by St. Croix Motors in Hudson, Wisconsin in June 1968, the car underwent a restoration beginning in 2010, during which it was repainted in the now-iconic Highland Green, evoking the Bullitt aesthetic. The paint presents well overall, though photos document minor chips and wear consistent with use. A previous door alignment issue that caused scraping at the sill plate has been corrected.
Power comes from the original S-code 390ci V8, factory-rated at 325 horsepower, and topped with a four-barrel carburetor. The engine features chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner, and recent maintenance includes an oil and filter change and tune-up. The engine is paired to a factory 4-speed manual gearbox, contributing to a true driver-focused experience.
Riding on 15-inch Bullitt-style American Racing wheels wrapped in Fisk Classic tires, the car has a confident stance and period-correct muscle car presence. GT equipment includes front fog lights, GT badging, and factory performance upgrades that distinguish this model as a high-performance variant of the Mustang lineup.
Inside, the cabin was changed from red to black during restoration and retains original-style features such as the factory steering wheel, woodgrain trim, and four-speed floor shifter. An aftermarket stereo has been installed for modern usability. Instrumentation includes a 120-mph speedometer, 8,000-rpm tachometer, and a five-digit odometer currently showing just over 76,000 miles, with approximately 550 added under current ownership since 2012.
