Vehicle Description
Most people who see a first-generation Mustang assume it has a V8 under the hood. This one does not, and that is part of what makes it interesting. The 200 cubic inch inline six was the base engine in the Mustang lineup from 1965 through 1970, and V8 cars outnumbered the six-cylinder in production by a significant margin, which means the six is actually the less common find today. This one is finished in Lime Gold with Nugget Gold vinyl seats, a color combination that is unapologetically 1968 and turns heads at every show it attends.
Under the hood is the 200 cubic inch inline six backed by the three speed automatic. New headers have been fitted, new exhaust was done three years ago, new hoses were done a year ago, and the floor pans were replaced a year ago as well. The mechanical work has been addressed and the car is sorted and ready to drive.
Inside, the Nugget Gold vinyl seats are clean and well matched to the exterior. Crank windows are correct and expected for this trim level and give the car the no-frills, honest character that the base Mustang always had. The 1968 model brought updated side marker lights, a cleaner grille with the floating pony emblem, and new shoulder seatbelts as standard, making it one of the more refined early Mustangs from a safety standpoint.
A Lime Gold six-cylinder hardtop with a matching gold interior is a specific and visually cohesive car that stands out in a field full of red and white V8 restorations. For buyers who want a first-generation Mustang they can drive and enjoy without the insurance premiums and the crowd that follows a big-block car everywhere, this one makes a compelling case.
