Brief History

Mustang got a new grille in 1968. The horizontal bars were removed and chrome trim was added. and the corral around the pony was thinner than in '67. The side scoops were thin chrome pieces. and "Mustang" on the fenders was written in script rather than block letters. 1968 was the first year for shoulder seat belts.

Ford's larger 427 was introduced on 1968 Mustang GTs. Combined with the GT's standard front disc brakes. performance tires. heavy-duty suspension. and dual exhaust with chrome quad outlets. the engine elevated this pony car it its raciest version yet. New cosmetics also were included for 1968. with new styled steel wheels in chrome or painted silver with special GT hub caps. and new "C" stripe that accented the side scoop.

22. 37 Standard convertibles were produced out of 317. 04 Mustangs built in 1968. Base convertible prices was $ 2. 14. 00
