both have 4'' bore...the 302 just have 3'' stroke instead of 2,87

[@MisterMikeTexas]

1968 Mustangs just have that look! Especially the fastbacks! I'm surprised Lee Iacocca was never on board with changing the Mustang with the times to keep it competitive. He called the 67 - 68 "a fat pig". Wth?!!!

[@JackF99]

Nowadays the 67-68 is considered the peak of Mustang styling.

[@markreisen7038]

That's why the DUECE canned his ass over STUPID B.S...

[@robbiefrentz9427]

I just bought my 10 year old daughter a 1967 mustang coupe.. we’re building. And the stipulation she cannot sell it until she is 40 years old....

[@stephenholland5930]

How's the resto going?

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Three dislikes. Must be Toyota Prius owners! 😂😂😂

[@solidbreed9767]

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jaydenedwards6766]

This is the Mustang I'm looking for actually. A 302 engine, with a automatic transmission, and it's a Fastback body. That's my type of Mustang. But what websites I can search for the 302 engine, and the Automatic Transmission??

[@stephenholland5930]

Classiccars.com

[@markreisen7038]

Hemmings is another good source for classic muscle cars.

[@johnnyfish4201]

Can't help but think of Bullitt everytime I see this style of Mustang. Bullitt 68 / 390.

[@puka5939]

Yes it's a nice car however there's nothing like feeling the power of a 68 GT with a 390 mated with a C6. 13.92 in the 1/4 stock with F70-14 tires. This was my car in highschool in 1977 and sold it in 1980. should have never sold it.😕

[@jeremythompson9895]

I think the car in Bullitt was a 390 4 speed 68 GT. 67-68 is my favorite body style of them all. My all time favorite Stang is probably either the 69-70 BOSS 429 or the 67-68 Shelby GT500KR

[@stephenholland5930]

Yeah, Steve could shift his own gears!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

68 is the best looking Mustang imo!

[@jswan9658]

Absolutely Beautiful Mustang 2+2

[@fread51]

Would love to have one of these's cars

[@markreisen7038]

My first car was a 1968 Mustang Fastback back with a 302 and 3 speed stick. It was Meadowlark yellow with a black interior.Really nice car that i paid $300.00 for.. Wish i still had mine... .

[@BorisW150]

What a beautiful car.

[@tsav6952]

Timeless good looking car.

[@bgh70]

I love the '67 to '70 fast back Mustangs. The air filter and valve covers look fine, but that late Edelbrock intake isn't exactly period correct.

[@rjwintl]

Koolisch !!! ... want one for Christmas !!! ... catch that , babe ??? ... but, a 4-speed , please !!!

[@robertdobson2187]

Kevin's fishing, but, I was paying attention... "time gauge"... I'm going to use that.

[@darrellkidd5177]

I caught that one too. Think I'm going to start referring to the clock in my car as a "time gauge". LOL

[@markreisen7038]

@@darrellkidd5177 I prefer to call it what it is, a time clock. To each his own

[@petemedina8446]

Great looking car

[@jasonmcmillan4373]

Ok so this is episode 226 now, just how many awesome muscle cars are in the Brothers Collection?!?!

[@markreisen7038]

Too many to count! Go figure.

[@David-ze4ce]

the 289 and 302 have the same bore different stroke and the 289 also has a longer rod

[@barryphillips7327]

NICE car, only thing i would change is the steering wheel to wood rim three spoke wheel.

[@markreisen7038]

The 3 spoke wood wheel was factory option on the Mustang with a Decor option package. They also came on the Shelby Gt 350 and Gt 500 cars.

[@dougjustdoug6391]

@@markreisen7038 No, in 68' they were "safety" oriented and the padded two spoke steering wheel was all that was available, although you could get it with the simulated wood rim and woodgrain insert in the center.

[@markreisen7038]

@@dougjustdoug6391 Nope, WRONG!!! Their was NO two spoke padded wheel. It was a single padded wheel for 1968.. Get it right!!!

[@dougjustdoug6391]

@@markreisen7038 Well, since the steering wheel spokes connected to the rim at two points it was referred to as a two spoke design. It was a single pad however.

[@markreisen7038]

[@stardustdreamfactory1947]

My '05 GT Premium Redfire Clearcoat w/Medium Parchment Leather Interior makes me identify with this car. I had entered Middle School (Junior High) a year earlier. Current car has less than 26k miles! Thanks again for sharing!

[@kennethdorning]

I'm confused about the build date. In the beginning he said June 16, 1968, but later he said July 16, 1968.

[@mr.iowegian]

Great video thanks! Been thinking about my 1967 coupe I has to sell :(

[@robbiefrentz9427]

I feel your pain

[@dannyalejandre6973]

Did you ever sell?

[@mr.iowegian]

@@dannyalejandre6973 Sorry it was a typo haha! I meant to say I "had" to sell. I was in college and my dad made me get it out of his garage. As a dad now, I don't blame him but geez!

[@stretch54]

Wow! After the Shelby 289 with 306 H.P, this 302 with 230 is pretty lame.

[@stephenholland5930]

Lower compression engine.

[@shanebailey9128]

Kevin please explain how this 4v 302 with 230 hp has More Power than the K-code 289 with (by your own admission) 271 hp? Also, do you Ever watch your own videos back after editing?🧐

[@darrellkidd5177]

Love the videos; love Mustangs. Ford did a good job of morphing the '67 into the '68 and then into the '69 (my favorite) and the '70. Never really liked the '71-'73s as much. Also, Kevin said this car was built on June 16th, 1968 at one point, and on July 16th at another point (although it doesn't really matter which is correct). He also repeated twice that all of the car's owners were well documented; it almost seemed like he was struggling for things to say about the car, so he repeated those facts. All in all, he does a great job, and really seems to have a passion for these cars, which makes it much more enjoyable.

[@Jgeneraledger23]

Ha! Had to double-check, thought this was my old car that I sold a few years ago. 390 though

[@danielmcintosh9475]

This car reminds me a lot of the 1968 Mustang 390 GT 4-speed used in the movie "Bullitt", which happens to be one of my favorite movies. I watch the Bullitt movie car chase on KZbin all the time. When my Dad was 16, he owned a 1966 Ford Fairlane 390 GTA hardtop. I was a late 80's child, but I will always have a love for the muscle cars and hot rods of yesteryear.

[@oldtown6240]

Great show. Always enjoyable. Thanks!

[@rescalante26]

That ford manufacturing plant is now Teslas manufacturing center

[@yeeter5694]

That one looks exactly like the one my grandpa had

[@tostentwo]

Had a green one with similar trim with a black interior. My first car. Sold it and bought a 71 Z28 and then moved to a 68 427 corvette. Total investment of 8,400 dollars starting in 1974 and finished in 1978. All were nice cars with low miles. Maybe should have kept them...but I especially miss the Mustang. First car nostalgia. I can still smell the pine air freshener that came in the cubby.

[@lynndempsey4096]

So you got shit!!!

[@markreisen7038]

The ONLY CARi would have traded to upgrade from a Mustang would have been a Shelby GT350 or GT500. Corvette would have been a "not so much"car. Oh well, we all make mistakes.

[@JackF99]

I've owned two big block Mustangs ('67 390GTA and '69 428CJ) but I agree about the more nimble handling of the 289/302/351 Windsor small block cars I've driven. They feel much more resonsive in cornering and braking.If I ever get a classic 'Stang again it will be a small block.

[@radioguy1620]

I think the 4 bbl was rated 250 hp, certain 302 heads were better than others, even back then ,

[@stephenholland5930]

The 302 4-barrel with 10:1 compression was rated at 230 hp in the '68 brochure

[@markreisen7038]

The 351 4bbl were rated at 250 in 1969 if memory serves me correct. That was the stock motor for the first year Mach 1.

[@BanCorporateOwnedHouses]

Most underrated channel on KZbin. Better than Jay Leno's stuff.

[@ZEZERBING]

Those "girls" are now 70!

[@markreisen7038]

Who cares!! Age is just a number. They probably still look good. Just like the Mustsngs time less lines. Why do you think Ford chose to style the RETRO LOOK Mustangs after the 67-68 body style. Like I said before. TIMELESS!!

[@billyfoster3223]

Lovely car!😁🔧🤟

[@rrmech11]

Nice

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

Yep wrong again kevin = 4 inch bore shorter stroke 289 to 302 = you would think that googling the size before stating a mistake.

[@V8TV]

Yep, we got that one wrong.

[@geoffblight6594]

nice car except for the hood hinges

[@accalarentia4029]

Beautiful..

[@markhawkins6276]

2 barrel(F code) or 4 barrel(J code(one year option))? What is the rear gear ratio? Is the engine still stock or modified? Nice car but we need more details!

[@ianfosbrook8406]

gorgeous....

Not a real Mustang!!!! If doesn’t have 3 pedals is not worth it

Great video these vehicles are excessive polluters and highly unsafe
