68GTConvertible390engine
![]() In its second year after an extensive restyling that allowed the use of Ford’s larger engines, the 1968 Mustang GT found favor with the big block crowd. Its overall larger dimensions allowed Ford to install its 390 and 428 V-8s to compete with Chevrolet's new 396. The first large-displacement engine dropped into the 1967 model was the 390 rated at 320 horsepower, which Ford boosted to 325hp in 1968.
The GT Equipment Group option package was still a bargain at $146.71. For less than the cost of an AM/FM radio, the GT package added grille-mounted fog lamps, power front disc brakes, chrome tipped dual exhaust, F70-14 tires on styled steel wheels with GT hubcaps, GT gas cap, the Handling Package, body-side “C” stripes, and front fender GT emblems. The Meadowlark Yellow convertible offered here is an exceptionally rare unrestored original 390 GT with only 35,000 miles on the odometer. The numbers matching S-Code 390 and T-10 Toploader 4-speed are original to the car. Along with the GT Group, this lovely convertible is equipped with power steering, a power top, remote-control driver’s mirror, center console, air conditioning and radio.
