1968 Ford Mustang

• Deep blue metallic paint is glossy and straight on this coupe restomod, with a matte black hood and blacked-out grille — the contrast is the look.
• The engine is a 347 stroker ('347 C.I.' on the valve covers), dressed with a chrome Monte Carlo bar and export brace, A/C compressor, aftermarket ignition and a Painless wiring kit visible in the bay close-ups.
• Optima battery and aluminum radiator — the supporting hardware is modern throughout.
• Black interior is upgraded: bolstered sport seats, wood-rim wheel, clean door panels and carpets.
• Five-spoke wheels with low-profile tires; stance sits lowered and level.
• The gallery is engine-heavy — most of the 60 photos are bay macros — with no underside shots, so floors and frame rails can't be judged.
• A small paint chip shows at the driver's door rear edge in one shot — the only paint flaw visible.

Money: at $49,900 the paint, stroker build and cabin present as a finished restomod; the remaining check is the underside, which this set never shows — one lift look before paying finished-car money.
