Just picked it up this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally found my dream car! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
1968 Mustang Fastback!
My plans for it are;
-429 600HP Big Block built by HCI
-Ford 9" with 4 link suspension
-GT500 frontend
-Dark Forest Green paint job (same color as my 95) with black racing strips
-I was thinking maybe some black/chrome built rims
-It came with brand new all black interior
-Autometer guages
-Get the C4 thats in it rebuilt
I am going to start tearing apart the interior soon to clean it up and repaint everything.
The Car has hardly any rust at all! The frame rails are in almost new condition and the floorboards are fine! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

It was sitting infront of a barn 5 minutes from my house! The guy i bought it from is a CHP officer up here and hes built 6 classic Mustangs. He bought this one 2 months ago from some local guy that had it sitting in his barn for years but the CHP officer decided he wanted to do some work to his house so he advertised that he had a 68 and i was the first to call ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

No i think someone brought a hammer to the windshield or when it was in the barn something fell on it.
