The body panels are original, uncut and were repainted in 2008, while the original Carlite glass, original interior, including carpet, and console remain. This Fastback is equipped with its original 735 cfm carburetor, original distributor, smog pump, original starter delay that works, original C8OE-6090-N cylinder heads and added larger exhaust pipes. Built on April 26, 1968, this Mustang features the early blue painted mid-plate, all correct original Ram Air assembly - not a reproduction - and the Ed Clay Ford dealership chrome emblem. This is one of 1,044 fastbacks and one of 54 with the 4.30 rear end and 4-speed. This Mustang was ordered and purchased by a mechanic who worked for Clay Ford in Leavenworth, KS, and comes with the original sales invoice, Buck Tag and Marti Report.
