Thanks for sharing. I'm in the middle of restoring a July built 1968 Coupe GT (San Jose built) that lived in the San Jose area and then put in storage for about 40 years until I purchased it in January of this year. Your videos are a great reference.
Whoever purchased this car new knew that it would eventually become a collector’s item. Most people drive more than 12,000 miles in one year or less. This car is averaging about 200 miles per year 😁 You have one of the finest Mustangs I’ve ever laid eyes on! I wish more classic cars had been cared for as well as this one.
Marcus- Great idea to do a cold start-and it fired right up! Nice to see the cold start test work I did at Ford 56 years ago paid off . Gorgeous car you have - I will try and visit your restoration shop if I get to Arizona.
These videos are great! Love all the explanation of date codes, paint finishes etc. Would love to see an unrestored example like this from each year. I have a 67 convertible 390 car I purchased as a basket case. The car had been sandblasted and left bare for several years before I got it. Helps a lot seeing something like this.
Thanks for the video. I'm surprised they were still installing 289 engines in June '68. I would have thought the 302 would have replaced the 289 by then.

I believe ford sent all production 289 to Calif for install 😂this back filling other plants eastward with 302
Thanks for sharing!!
Great job Marcus
Super Helpful!
Great video. Has the master cylinder been replaced, or did the ones used on the San Jose line not get painted black?
These things were absolutely everywhere in 1968.
