Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannThe Mustang Fastback is probably every pony car fan's dream. The flowing rear end looks much sportier than the standard Mustang coupe. No wonder Fastbacks are traded at significantly higher prices. This is a rare 390 Fastback with an elaborately rebuilt engine and extensive investments that make the car a real bargain.
A 1968 Ford Mustang 390 Fastback is for sale in white with black faux leather interior.

Model history
Introduced in 1968, the Ford Mustang Fastback belonged to the first generation of Mustangs and was part of the revised model series from 1967 onwards. With its striking fastback design and various V8 engines, including the powerful 390 cubic inch V8, it established itself firmly in the American muscle car segment and is now one of the brand's most popular classics.
