  Lot 35
 

1968 Ford Mustang 302 Windsor
For Restoration

Registration - SCL 261R

Chassis No. - 8F01J106883

M.O.T. - Exempt

This is the perfect lot for those wondering how best to while away the upcoming summer evenings. Well okay, the project might swallow a weeny bit more time than that, but ultimately you’d have a classic Mustang to burble around town in and impress the neighbours with. And, let’s face it, cars don’t come much cooler, as we learnt from Mr McQueen.

This lefthand drive automatic one is powered by the 302ci (5.0-litre) version of Ford’s legendary small-block V8 Windsor engine, which we understand won’t currently fire up but will turn over, so is not seized. The car comes complete with new front wings, headlights and headlight buckets, radiator grille, and front bumper and valance. According to the vendor it will, however, definitely need a new floor and boot lid. A rare opportunity for muscle car fans everywhere.

Ford’s first generation Mustang had its initial public viewing at the New York World’s Fair of April 1964. It was the first of the so-called ‘pony’ cars that subsequently included the Chevy Camaro, AMC Javelin and revamped Chrysler Barracuda. It also inspired such Coupes from elsewhere in the world as the Ford Capri and Toyota Celica. It was styled in house under the direction of Joe Oros and utilised as many components as possible from the existing Falcon and Fairlane models, in order to minimise cost. Soon available in Coupe, Convertible and Fastback guise, it could be bought with a range of straight-six and V8 engines. The sales forecast for year one was c.100,000 units - a figure that was surpassed in the first three months!

In summary:

  • An exciting restoration project
  • Comes with a variety of replacement panels
  • Equipped with 5.0-litre Windsor V8 engine

Location of Vehicle - Iver, Buckinghamshire
