The 1968 Mustang
changed very little when compared to the 1967.However, most of
the changes were Government regulated for safety.
Everything took a more rounded appearance. A collapsible
steering column was added which was a major safety improvement
and more padding can be found in the interior of the 1968.
Side Markers in the front and rear, door handles which folded
down, shoulder belts, the rear view mirror was attached to the
windshield, a locking latch to hold rear seat in place in case
of a crash in the Fastbacks, and a new steering wheel design.
Body restyling can be found in a minor grill change - the '67
has a horizontal grill bar which cross from left to right
through the center and has the GT lamps mounted on it. Also
not so easy noticed is the running pony emblem on the front
grill is substantially smaller than previous versions.
The '68 had
the fog lamps mounted in the grill.
The '68
Mustang carried only a chrome trim rather than the simulated
side scoop as on the '67.
There were
other option packages offered throughout the model year 1968.
Specials from area dealer groups-the 1968 1/2 Mustang 428 CJ
(introduced April 1,1968) and the Mustang Sprint in both six
and V-8 engines. On the six-cylinders you got pop-open gas
cap/GT stripe/and full wheel covers. The V-8s included Wide
Oval tires on steel wheels and GT fog lamps.
