The 1968 Ford Mustang continued the success of the original pony car with subtle design updates and enhanced performance options. It featured revised styling cues like a cleaner grille, side scoops, and safety improvements such as a collapsible steering column and shoulder belts. Under the hood, buyers could choose from a range of engines, including the base inline-six, various V8s, and the newly introduced 428 Cobra Jet for serious performance. The 1968 model also marked the Mustang’s appearance in pop culture history, most notably with Steve McQueen’s iconic green fastback in the film Bullitt. This model year solidified the Mustang’s reputation as a stylish, affordable, and powerful American icon.
