1968 Ford Mustang Light Blue Convertible

There was never a production version of the 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible in California Special trim, but this 1968 Ford Mustang Convertible GT/CS Tribute has had a restomod makeover with all the correct-appearing elements. That includes the stripes, side scoops, rear spoiler, and even the Shelby taillights from a 1965 Thunderbird. This car also wears a Shelby-style fiberglass hood and incorporates a number of additional upgrades such as a coilover front suspension with rack-and-pinion steering, Dakota Digital gauges, and a retro-style radio with modern features. “The restoration was completed in 2018,” notes the seller.
