1968 S code 4 speed barn find

[lnevill]

Yes, they are still out there....

Some of you may know me from other Mustang and Shelby sites. My name is Lee Nevill and I live in Boise, Idaho where I collect and restore classic Mustangs, Cougars and Shelbys. This is my first GT/CS so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as I move ahead with this restoration. Thanks in advance for all your help!!

8R01S157550 - not in the registry, Marti report confirmed as a Brittany blue with black vinyl top GT 4 speed. Original VIN stamped engine block and tranny. I'll be bringing it home from Montana in a couple weeks to begin the restoration. Will not be doing a full concourse resortation as the underside of the car is already done by the p.o. and it was undercoated and has weld in subframes and traction masters. Will be a VERY nice driver with the topside close to concourse and the bottom rust protected, but not even close to concourse!!

I'll post more when I get'r home and will have lots of questions, like: what color side stripe should a blue car with blue interior and a black vinyl top have?

Thanks!
Lee

Mr. Nevill, Do you have the Marti Report, and if so, can you email me a copy so I can add it to the Registry. Great Find. Look forward to seeing this one. Mike, your friendly neighborhood Registrar.

Nice find Lee! Sounds like it will make a great driver! Nice color combination.

Not sure about the stripe, I think traditionally the stripe would reflect the interior color (at least as far as non-GT/CS cars go). Not sure that a blue stripe on a blue car would have been done, but with the lighter (Brittany) blue, maybe the blue would have been correct. I certainly think the black stripe would look better, especially with the black top, but that's just me. A quick search of photos on Google seems to reflect that for the GT/CS model painted Brittany Blue,with a vinyl top, the stripe matches the top.

Good luck with it!

Congratulations and Welcome!
No better place for another S-code than to have its sights and sounds experienced by as many as possible. Good on you!

Awesome! I'm a sucker for any light blue Mustang. But this one pretty much sounds amazing. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Do you know if your car was originally shipped to Montana? The reason I inquire is that the previous owner of my S code 4 speed told me that it was believed to be the only one shipped to Montana. Just curious...

 

[lnevill]

The car was delivered to Lewiston, Idaho.
