How rare??
I have a 1968 mustang convertable. body code 76B, I was wondering how rare this was and I'm I getting ready to mess up?
I have been given a 351W trade for the 289.
The color is light beigh (sorry if spelling is off) and I want to repaint it with white.
I also want rally strips but I know they were not offered in 68 as a paint scheme.
If this is a rare car I might not want to change that much on the car and put it back as close to original as possible. I have planned on going the restomod route and have enjoyed the process so far. I have been told that you don't really hurt the value that much going the restomod route but I don't know.
I would like to know our opinons on this.
Thank you

RE: How rare??
it is 1 of 3,339 with a deluxe interrior. 99% of all people do not realize it is that rare, and since it is only a C-Code, nobody really cares. As for the stripes, Le Mans (the correct term for the Shelby style stripes) do not look good on a vert with the top up, do a google seach on the factory C stripe.
As far as the value, the best way to get the most money for it is to keep it as stock as possible, since most people that want to modify a car want to do it their way, not yours. If you want to do any upgrades, I would look at doing factory upgrades. I have turned cars, and the ones with stock wheels and hub caps sold quicker than ones with custom wheels

RE: How rare??
Ok the Door codes:
Body 76B
Color 65
Trim 6A
Date 16E
D.S.O. 28 ( I think the plate said DSO but not sure)
2W ( this was stamped on the far right side of the plate)
Number on drivers side fender:
8F03C195322 (this is the same number as the warrenty number on the door)
As far as resale, I have no intention of ever selling, the car was bought new by my grandfather in 1968, and was given to me last year. Due to the family connection I can't see selling the car.
Thanks
