A 1968 Mustang that rolled off the assembly lines with a 428 Cobra Jet engine under the hood is now looking for a new family to care for it meticulously.
The car rolled off the Dearborn assembly lines as a 2-door hardtop, spending its entire life with the same family ever since.

While first-generation Mustangs are typically very sought-after classics, this 1968 model has several big selling points that even collectors might find compelling. First and foremost, the Marti report confirms Ford installed a 428-4V Cobra Jet engine on the Mustang, but what makes it much rarer is the engine and transmission code combination. Only 119 Mustangs used the same configuration, and this is your chance to own one of them.

The owner ordered the Mustang in Lime Gold with black vinyl standard bucket seats. The paint code isn’t that rare, though, as over 34,500 Mustangs left the factory with the same finish.The Mustang sports the GT package, and eBay seller l78nova396 says the car still comes with mostly original parts, including the interior, the engine, and the transmission. On the other hand, they explain that the original air cleaner components are missing.

The seller explains that the family always took proper care of the car, parking the Mustang in a garage since new. The paint isn’t perfect, which makes sense given its age, but the rust isn’t a concern on this Mustang. The car is a 9 out of 10 and needs only minor occasional fixes to bring it back to a tip-top shape. The same applies to the cabin, where everything looks good, and only minor fixes are needed.

The next surprise comes from the odometer. The car has an incredibly low mileage, showing just 27,000 miles on the clock. They are all original, and the reading makes sense, given this Mustang spent most of its time with the same family and parked in a garage. The seller didn’t share many specifics on the matching-numbers powertrain, but I expect everything to work correctly, considering the overall shape.

Unsurprisingly, this rare Mustang in impressive condition and with low mileage can’t sell for cheap. On the other hand, its price tag could make many people walk away, as only a wealthy collector would afford (and have the resources to properly care of) such an impressive gem. The online seller won’t let the vehicle go unless someone pays $92,000, but the Make Offer button is also live. As a result, if you have another deal in mind, contact the seller to discuss the details. The Mustang is currently sleeping in Paris, Ohio, and you can drive it home on its wheels (though you shouldn’t do this, considering its very low mileage).
