In 1968, the angles on the Mustang got softer, but the overall package just got tougher. Other than more powerful engines such as the 428-cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 in the appropriately named 428 CJ, changes from the 1967 model were few. However, these 335-plus-horsepower engines certainly made a large difference for the Mustang connoisseur.
The 1968 Mustang included a Shelby model and a GT in addition to the base package and 428. The "KR" in the GT500KR stood for "King of the Road," a title the Shelby Mustang arguably holds to this day.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1968 Ford Mustang express a strong love for this classic muscle car, celebrating its iconic design and enjoyable driving experience. Many appreciate its solid build, powerful engine options, and the nostalgia it brings. However, some drivers mention issues like low fuel economy and maintenance challenges. While the car has quirks typical for its age, it offers a fun and engaging ride."

January 8, 2008As any review is subjective I'll try to curb my bias. When it comes to performance it will leave you wanting for more in all categories. It is still more exciting to drive than a modern econobox probably due to the sense of raw communication with what is going on around you. It is a semi- reliable vehicle with a slew of aftermarket parts to keep the cost of ownership down. Having a vehicle with a production number just over 4,000 you're almost guaranteed to be the only one around with one.

June 1, 20081968 Mustang GT/California Special. 1 of only 4000 built, only made in 1968, only sold in CA. .030 overbored 302 built to Shelby specs, built C-4 tranny, Shelby fiberglass bady panels. Not the fastest thing on the streets, but since it's rare you hardly ever come across another on the road.
March 14, 2008I like everything this car is just a dream fun to drive and very economical on gas.I bought this car for my wife's 2nd anniversary but I ended up staying with it lol it's a bit long for her to park.
July 20, 2013Excellent cruising car, car shows, go for ice cream with the family even if it's an hour away. Excellent reliability. Very easy to do maintenance work on, Lots of leg room in the front seats, because it's a GT it has extra sway bars and stiffer springs so it has great handling and with disc brakes it stops great also.
August 26, 2011Mine was white, red interior, 4 speed, 289 and had only 68k original miles on it
February 11, 2008Performance: great for the era, will still perform today also Quality: great for a 40 year old car, no problems yet Appearance: gets thumbs up wherever it goes cost of ownership: surprisingly good fuel economy, parts are on the cheap side for a 40 year old car Fun factor: great to drive and the motor sounds awesome.
September 28, 2008Bought this car the day I turned 39 years old. It is a 1968 bright red Mustang convertible. Power top, but no no power brakes or A/C. I love cruising the 101 and PCH with the top down listening to the Beach Boys!
March 27, 2008A competely original 289 2-barrel car with PS and PB, my Dad and I did the bodywork in the driveway and painted it at his shop on Mavis Road. I drove it from Hell to High Water and back a couple of times, it started in any weather and in spite of having no weight in the back end it performed completely undramatically in the snow. I drove it to school, work and Peterborough on weekends. I put the mandatory Thrush header mufflers when the stock exhaust pretty much fell off it, and aside from a blown power steering hose and a positive wire grounding out against the rad cradle never had a moment of grief with the car. I miss it, but not as much as my 70 convertible!
