1968 Ford Mustang Convertible V-8 Unrestored Original Survivor Black Plate CA

This is a rare west coast classic born and raised 1968 Mustang convertible V-8 that has been well taken care of since new. It is super straight and clean as a car being from the west coast with only one older repaint to original color. It does not get any better than factory candy-apple red, red interior and GT wheels. It looks fantastic.

Was told the car spent its first 25 years in CA and then 1 year in D.C. and then 24 years in Charleston SC

Interior is all original, top was replaced at the time of repaint some 23 or so years ago - New zip-in back plastic window comes with car.

Paint has aged well but is long in the tooth for a refresh. It has its age-related dings, dents, a parking lot mishap on the drivers side front fender, but it still shines and gets a tremendous amount of attention going down the road. Interior is all original down to the carpet.

This Mustang runs and drive nice and is ready to enjoy right now or with an easy fresh paint job would no doubt win many trophies at any car show or gathering.

Fly in and drive home or we can arrange world-wide shipping for you!

  Stephen Becker personally works side by side with the Shelby American Automobile Club registrars and have supported their efforts to keep Carroll Shelby's automobiles and contribution to the automotive industry alive.

  
  

  Stephen Becker is one of the most renowned Shelby authorities in the world, announced the introduction of a new certified appraisal program for 1960s Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. Previously available only to a select group of companies and celebrities, SGB's invaluable expertise is now available to individuals contemplating the sale or purchase of a vintage Shelby car.

  
  

  "For years, MOPAR, Corvette and Ford collectors have had access to detailed appraisals from experts in those cars, but enthusiasts have not been able to tap a form program when considering the purchase or sale of a Shelby," said Becker. "With the expertise, records and access to details of Cobras, GT500s and GT350s available through me, collectors can now have the knowledge they need when making a decision on a Shelby they want to purchase or sell.”

  Becker personally has performed evaluations for years and attended key collector car auctions for a small group of corporate clients like insurance companies and manufacturers. In late 2009, Stephen Becker provided an appraisal of 75 cars in the corporate and museum collection of Shelby American. The appraisals were done for Shelby's insurance company, which requested current values of the extensive collection of significant cars. Other high profile corporate and celebrity clients have included the famous Shelby Parts & Restorations company, as well as leaders in the music and entertainment industry.

  
  

  "Shelby cars are usually considered blue chip collectibles, but each must be carefully inspected and appraised to understand the true value," noted Becker. "Not only is it important to ensure a car is a genuine Shelby, it's critical to understand its history. The value difference between a survivor car with great provenance and a Shelby 'rebuilt' from a few major components left over from a wreck can be hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

  
  

  Stephen's knowledge and extensive library led to the creation of the Becker Certified Shelby Certification program. A proprietary 25 point inspection and exhaustive research provides the most thorough report on the market for genuine Shelby vehicles.

  
  

  Over the past decade, Stephen Becker has been retained by key automotive groups, collectors and industry leaders to authenticate and value Shelby vehicles. This led to the creation of a program for individual collectors and enthusiasts. When completed, a client received a detailed report with a history of the vehicle, if available, and documentation to validate the value.

  
  

  Since 1977, Stephen Becker has been regarded as a leading authority on 1960s era Shelby Cobras, GT350s and GT500s. The company's expertise and in-depth knowledge have been tapped by clients to purchase, consign and restore original Shelby's. SGB has represented clients around the world on stage when their Shelby's crossed the block.
