Wanted Concours Restored 1967-1968 Mustang GT 4 Spd. I would consider a Fastback (First Choice), Coupe or Vert. Will pay top dollar for the right car.
Thanks

Pretty sure 68 would be a J code.

Early 68's still ran 289's. The 302 came Mid Year. About the same time as the 428 CJ and the Chrome external Rear Side Markers.

Yes early to mid 68 M/Y used 289 C codes ( 2V ), no A code 4V's. I have 2 of these cars ( C code ) one an Feb. build San Jose car and the other a Mar. Metutchen car. No! 302 J codes came earlier than that. 68 GT350's are J code 302's and they were produced starting in Nov. 67. A few maybe earlier than that. Note; all 68 J code's are 4V engines. Ford never put a 302 2V in the Mustang for M/Y 1968. If Perry truly wants an A code he will be shopping for a 67.

Yes sorry I should have been more specific.
The small block 68 GT would have to be the J code if Perry does only want a small block GT
(I'm also pretty sure 289s could be ordered Thru all of 68 but I think the confusion lies in that mid year they ran out of 289 blocks and used 302 blocks but the cars were still 2v C codes...but that's all for another discussion another day)
Unsure if Perry knows you could get a 67 2v C code GT
Good evening guys
Thank you for all the info. I'm looking for a small block. I recently sold my 68 GT350 and 70 Mach 351. I'm itching for another Mustang! :)

What is mid year? Shelbys were being built early in the model year(strike year) with 302s. I'm not aware of the 289s going away mid year? Wouldn't that still be a 2V option like they had 65- 67 and carrying on for years to come(302 2v in 69). Now you are going to have me looking at 68 marti reports... :) Here is a June 17th built 289 2V Mustang. Here is a DEc 2nd built 302.
