1968 Ford Mustang Fastback 390 C6 – Matching Numbers, Highland Green, Iconic Muscle

This 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback is a beautifully preserved and highly desirable example of classic American muscle, featuring a matching-numbers 390ci V8 engine paired to a C6 automatic transmission. Presented in its original Highland Green exterior over black interior, this fastback embodies the timeless, aggressive style that made the late-’60s Mustang a legend—further amplified by the fastback body, big-block power, and period-correct finishes throughout.

With just 40,389 miles indicated and believed to be accurate, this Mustang has been cherished and preserved by long-term owners, remaining largely original while benefiting from careful upkeep. The factory Highland Green paint (a color immortalized by its cinematic associations) gives this car a commanding road presence and remains a top choice for collectors seeking a high-impact, period-correct aesthetic.

Exterior

Finished in the original and highly sought-after Highland Green, the body presents with excellent lines and a commanding stance. The fastback silhouette is unmistakable—an icon of 1960s design—and this car wears it beautifully. Chrome trim, badging, and body panels all show well, with consistent panel gaps and straight surfaces throughout. The 2-door coupe layout is enhanced by the factory wheels fitted with correct summer tires and lightweight alloy rims.

The car is fitted with period-correct trim elements, including original-style grille, dual exhaust, and factory lighting. Doors and glass align properly, and all exterior lighting is functional. Paintwork remains in great condition with a deep, consistent gloss, while showing just enough patina to underscore its authenticity.

Interior

The cabin is finished in black vinyl with factory-correct bucket seats, door panels, and dash trim. Interior surfaces show light signs of use but are overall very well preserved, with an honest patina that speaks to the car’s originality. All major controls are intact and operational, and the dash retains its original layout with factory instrumentation, steering wheel, and trim.

Comfort features include a power steering system, original-style radio, and an upgraded fire extinguisher mounted discreetly for added safety. The car seats four passengers with individual front seats and a rear bench. Factory lap belts are present, and headliner, carpets, and side panels are in very good condition.

Mechanical

Under the hood is the original 390ci V8, factory-rated at 283 horsepower, mated to a C6 three-speed automatic transmission. As a matching-numbers drivetrain, it adds significant value for collectors and purists alike. The engine runs strong with smooth power delivery and classic V8 sound, aided by a well-maintained ignition and fueling system. The car rides on rear-wheel drive and features the correct factory weight distribution of approximately 1,510 kg, contributing to its responsive handling.

A booster-assisted braking system provides confident stopping power, while power steering ensures ease of control both at speed and around town. The car rides on period summer tires mounted to lightweight alloy wheels, delivering both vintage styling and improved road grip.
