On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 5-21-24.

We're looking at a 1968 Ford Mustang in Wimbledon White Paint.

The car comes with the 428 CI V8 and an automatic transmission.

The car's Owner is Roger Parlett. Roger’s had this car since new. Roger shares he was a new Engineer at Ford and this car was part of the “135 Series” which was where Ford took 50 Mustang Fastbacks, each with a brass identification tag, and with the new 428 Cobra Jet engine to race at the Winter Nationals. The Mustangs ran well in the race. Car # 32 was sent to Engineering to fix some of the problems. Roger would see this car, put in a purchase request for the car, and Ford sold him the car. Some features only car # 32 has are holes cut in the underside of the hood for weight reduction, and it’s the only one to have an automatic transmission. Roger put the car away as he was busy at Ford and with his family. In 2018 he decided to do some minor restoration to get the car back on the road. Yes, he kept the steel rims and dog dish hub caps, however likes these aftermarket chrome rims and that’s what we see on the car today. This car is an amazing piece of automotive history with just over 7300 original miles.
