For Sale '68 Presidential Blue Project

[Mosesatm]

Looks a little rough but may be a good project if there isn't too much rust.

Seeing you pull up in your restored Presidential Blue GT/CS would certainly blow the sellers mind!

If it wasn't 2 degrees (-15 windchill) with a foot of snow on the ground that would be tempting!

Keith,

I am interested - if it not too much trouble I would appreciate your input.
Note: I believe this car was on ebay in the summer / fall of 2010.

Car fopr sale

I went and looked at this last night. His name is Todd, very nice to talk with, he purchased it 6-7 years ago as it sits. It would make a good project for someone. Rust is in the typical spots, battery box and front door bottoms. Floors, torque boxes, quarters and frame rails all look good from what I could see. Body damage is limited to the left quarter and end cap (looks like it was hit light in the rear), front inner fender( I think it could be straightened without replacing), 2 large dents in the left roof(can be seen in teh pics) and hood. Interior is missing carpet, headliner, and dash. Grill, taillights, foglights, gauges, and other misc pieces are in trunk. He is fairly firm on the price. Sorry no pics, I did not have my camera with me. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hey Keith,

Thanks for the update. I need to think on it. Price seems a little steep when comparing to the red one owner CS that just sold on ebay for 6K - see thread "1968 GT/CS Project on E bay" posted by classicsguy on 2/3.

Nineofive you can always make an offer if you really like the car,the worst thing that he can say is no thanks.

 

[classicsguy]

Just noticed that the one owner car was bid to $5800 bu did not sell since it did not meet reserve and Buy it now price was $10k.

 

[nineofive]

The first auction failed but was relisted and sold for 6K less than an hour after the list time.

Well looks like there will be another 68 GT-CS in Weeping Water NE. My dad came in the shop yesterday saying he bought the presidential blue GT-CS in Green Bay WI.
He has been enjoying the HCS restoration and I think he is a bit taken with the GT-CS style. He has two other early Mustangs. Looks like we need to plan another road trip. Marty

I'm glad this car is going to a good home.

[hookedtrout]

That's awesome, I just love the Presidential Blue cars, can't wait to see it finished.

 

[classicsguy]

I agree that Presidential Blue is an awesome color. Would love to have a 1968 Mustang GT/CS in that color

 

[Ruppstang]

Well it is in the shed in Weepng Water now. We left at 4AM Thursday and ran through 320 miles of fog. Did not even see MN., WI. was not much better. We arived at 2:45 PM and were on our way back by 5PM. Keith's information was very good. The car was mostly rust free. It had never had seen northern roads and still had a AZ. title. It is the first car I have seen that had a heater delete. I will post the Marti Report and take some pictures latter. I also want to know how to search to see if it is in the regerstry? Marty
