Dave Fingar is restoring this 1968 Mustang fastback. Dave tells us about his progress so far, "I bought a disassembled shell last April and spent most of the summer removing and repairing rust. I am now working in my heated basement and have rebuilt the suspension and brakes. Last weekend we installed the engine. I expect the rest of the drivetrain to go in this week. January and February will be final body detail, then March is paint -
white with blue stripes. Hope to be driving it this summer."

This might be an advertisement for a Wimbledon White version of the 1968 Cardinal Special Mustang limited to the Virginia and North Carolina area. We know they came in Candyapple Red, but many also think white was an option. It's hard to tell since this is a black and white advertisement. This advertisement was for Barkhouser Ford in the March 29th, 1968, edition of The Danville Register of Danville, Virginia.
