That’s a ‘68. I had a ‘67 - guy who bought it from me painted it like that and put those wheels on it.

He had the 427 tripower (as I recall it was tripower) Shelby GT500KR. A 427 instead of 428. Both would have been just fine. Car looked brand new (in 1977).

My buddy, captain of the football team, had a '68 Mustang GT fastback with a 390 4-barrel, 4 on-the-floor. With three other hulking meatheads in that car, I never saw him lose a race. 340-Six-pack Darts, Z-28's, Corvettes, GTO's, that thing was a freaking bullet on wheels. He'd do over 120mph driving me home from football practice on two-lane country back roads. In third gear.

We were immortal back then...
