Ford Mustang (1968) for Sale in IL

One of the most stunning custom builds on the market, this custom 1960s Ford Mustang Eleanor Convertible is a ground-up professional build with only 673 miles since completion. Every inch of this car reflects meticulous craftsmanship, combining modern performance with iconic Eleanor styling for a turnkey, head-turning package. Finished in graphite metallic with smooth, lighter gray racing stripes that flow seamlessly into the jambs, the body is flawless with no rust, bubbles, or imperfections. Eleanor upgrades include the raised fiberglass hood, dovetail trunk, side scoops, wheel well flares, and ground effects. The front end features Eleanor-style Halogen headlights, halo fog lamps, and Shelby sequential turn signals. The rear showcases a custom valance with high-intensity reverse lights and a pop-up gas cap. A black power convertible top with a folding glass window and new smoked glass complete the package. The car rides on 17-inch Eleanor-style wheels with performance tires. The interior has been fully redone with perfect fit and finish. High-back bucket seats, Shelby floor mats, and an Ididit tilt column with leather-wrapped steering wheel offer both comfort and style. The dashboard is fully restored, featuring VHX gauges, retro stereo with four Ground Zero speakers and amplifier, and a flawless 5-speed shifter with center console. All panels, upholstery, and carpets are new and fitted without any wrinkles. Under the hood, the 351 Windsor V8 is a high-performance build with aluminum intake, Holley carburetor with electric choke, billet distributor, polished alternator, and Classic Auto Air system. Power is delivered through a Tremec T5 5-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch and a rebuilt 9-inch rear end. The engine bay is meticulously detailed with cadmium-plated bolts, billet pulleys, serpentine belt, and polished accessories. The front and rear suspensions are fully upgraded with gas shocks, sway bars, and all-new steering components. Braking is handled by a new Wilwood drilled and slotted disc system at all four corners with a new e-brake assembly. Dual exhaust with crossover pipe and Xlerator mufflers exit cleanly through the rear valance. Frame rails, floor pans, and rockers are pristine, prepped, and coated with red oxide primer.
