Basic Information and History

This 1968 Ford Mustang GTA is a fine example of the iconic American muscle car, made especially desirable thanks to its powerful 390 cubic inch S-code V8 engine, producing approximately 330 hp. It is factory-equipped with an automatic transmission (C6, 3-speed) and a limited-slip differential.

The car was built at Ford’s Metuchen plant in New Jersey and was imported to Sweden as early as 1977. Since then, it has had a total of four owners, with the most recent having used the car in Spain. The odometer reads 32,338 km, although this cannot be guaranteed.

A Detroit NoSPIN differential has been retrofitted, and original parts such as the trunk lid, taillights, steering components, and steering wheel are included for those wishing to restore the car to its original specification.

Originally painted Lime Gold, the car was repainted in 2001 in Presidential Blue, matching the sought-after California Edition style with side scoops, a different hood, trunk lid, and taillights.
