The 1968 Mustang was changed very little when compared to the 1967.However most of the changes were Goverment regulated for safety.

Body restyling can be found in a minor grill change-the '67 has a horizontal grill bar which cross from left to right through the center and has the Gt lamps mounted on it.Also not so easy noticed is the running pony emblem on the front grill is substantially smaller than previous versions.
The '68 had the fog lamps mounted in the grill.
