This month, the collector car experts from Charlotte AutoFair in Charlotte, NC, are focusing on one auto ancestor in particular: the classic 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback. When it was first introduced, the ‘68 Mustang Fastback turned a lot of heads and changed the classic car game forever.

What Was So Different About The 1968 Mustang Fastback?

By all outward appearances, the 1968 Fastback didn’t look much different than the ‘67 model. However, underneath the hood, it was a completely different story. In 1967, Ford began making the Mustang a little larger, and in 1968, they added a new engine to the Mustang Fastback; this new 302 cubic inch, 230 horsepower engine gave the vehicle an added boost to its already exceptional performance. The ‘68 also came with an AM/FM stereo radio, front and rear marker lights, and flush-mounted interior door pulls, making the new Mustang Fastback sleeker than ever.

What Makes The 1968 Mustang Fastback One Of The Most Popular Collector Cars?

When it comes to collector cars, the 1968 Mustang Fastback is one of the most popular vehicles for several reasons. When it was first introduced, the 1968 Mustang Fastback was relatively affordable compared to many of the other sports vehicles on the market at the time, making it an ideal car for collectors and everyday drivers alike. In addition to its low price, Ford offered many options for drivers to customize their vehicle, making it a great option for those who wanted a personalized vehicle. But perhaps the leading reason why many still collect the 1968 Mustang Fastback today is its high-performance engine and heavy-duty transmission, making it a great vehicle to hit the road with.
