RE: '68 stangs rare???
Did not see many 68's when I was looking for a Mustang and now there is another one across the street from my office for sale.
They want about $5000. to much.
I had a 66 years ago, I like the 68 except for the seats.

They didn't make alot of them because Ford had a strike back in 68, which stopped production on the 68's. I Truly dont like 68 and up because of the side lights, steering wheel, etc. I like the 65-67's for that stuff. HOWEVER, I would still take a 68-69, but past that, i wouldnt buy a mustang, too big, too heavy, etc.

i like the 68's the most (obviously) and I noticed the same thing when I was searching for mine... took a while - esp. a convertible / v8 / manual... finally gave up on a 302 and went w/ the #'s match 289

Before I got my '69 mach I was looking for 68's. They are my favorite year besides the 69 of course 
I don't like the 67's because of the side slates, a little cheesy in my opinion. To each their own, but they are all still great.

Woouldn't call a 68 stang rare.........they or the 67's just weren't built in the staggering numbers as the earlier 65/66's. Truely rare 68's are limited production modles, like the california specials,special promotional vehicles, etc.Easier to find a 68 than a 67,anyways......They were the first stangs to offer upgraded safety upgrades..........Me personally, i think the best looking of the early cars are the 67 fastbacks,though i love my 67 notchback

I looked for my 68 for a few years - granted I wasn't searching very hard, but there were always 67's for sale .... not true w/ 68's
neither is 'rare', particularly if you're talking run of the mill types like mine, but obviously if your preference is a 68 it's gonna be a little harder to find
