Summer 2008, this Mustang was specially selected by Fraser Dante as the show car to be taken home over the 4th of July weekend to drive, show off and enjoy (LINK), here is a great looking 1968 Mustang Convertible, these 1968's and the 1967's have the fine look of the aggressive look of the current model Mustangs, these are also the basis of the new Shelby Convertibles that have virtually the same look, the paint just finished by professional painter in Florida who had found a very original car in North Florida, then the final buffing was done by Fraser Dante that makes this look great with great luster, even the optional hood turn signals work, the proper Black side C-stripe and the optional luggage rack really sets this appearance off on this paint with nice luster to high standards, this has an outstanding look, all the chrome is re-done including areas to areas like the gas tank filler piece, note the original C-code car has the very correct 289cid engine with 2v carberator when found, this had the paint work done with a very original engine and suspension, then engine has been upgraded with additional work to make this an outstanding driven show car, a new Edelbrock intake that is painted the correct Ford Blue and the #1403 500 cfm carburetor, this will yield more power and better gas mileage, it is found that this older carberators that might be correct done not work as well as the newer carberators, simply age has effected them with heat and parts and bores, these newer carbs are the best to enjoy and drive, very dated engine pieces that photos show(SEE LINK) the heads are marked '289' and have date codes of 7L7 WF and 7L6 WF, the original 2v intake (SEE LINKS OF THE ORIGINAL INTAKE AND CARB) has the date of 7H25, casting of C8AE, the original 2v carb has a 8ZG dating, both sets go with the package, the new work by Fraser Dante included new lifters to make the hydraulic valves work well, both intake set ups come with the package at full price, the radiator was sent to a shop and gone through, this engine bay has very nice detailing under the hood, proper Cobra air cleaner installed, has a new dual aluminized exhaust system with mellow Flowmaster mufflers and correct chrome rear extensions (SEE LINK), from all history and information, this appears to be the original engine and suspension, Fraser Dante has made sure the engine works outstandingly, the C-4 automatic transmission has also just been checked by a top transmission shop for Spring 2008, the original 289cid engine looks great, when received, the suspension was believed
