Topic: WTB: 1968 Mustang Owner's Manual

[don.piotrek]

Perhaps impossible to find, but I'll give it a try.

Looking for the original Mustang Owner's Manual of my car. The last digits of the VIN are *118394.
Build December 1st, 1967 at Dearborn. Sold via the dealer 58T786 to Selby SD 57472 on Dec 11th, 1967.

Thanks.

There seem to be plentiful on Ebay.

Indeed there are and I am monitoring the auctions for my desired number. However thought someone here might come across the one I’m searching for.

Do I understand your wanted request to be wanting the manual with your 118394 vin that actually came in your car ? If so your expectations are really high and would love to see posted pictures of your car . Given such high expectations your car must be spectacular original too.

Hey Bob, yes you understood this correctly. I am searching for my car’s original owner’s manual. Looking through the dozens of manuals on ebay, I assume it might pop up one day. Do you think there is market for very unique cars’ manuals only? And the very common c-code coupe will not have its manual popping up on a flea market or ebay?
My car is not spectacular at all, but the original manual instead of a cheap reprint would be a nice addition to the fully renovated car.

That would be 1 in over 300,000 odds.  Plus not all owner’s manuals were filled out - if your car is one of those the odds go from low to impossible.   Best of luck though, does not hurt to ask and look.

It is had to find a original owners manual that has been separated from the car it came in when new for the vast majority of 50 plus year old cars regardless of if a 427 Cobra or a 68 C code Mustang . The answer to your question of is there a market for very unique cars’ manuals only, can be answered by just looking at ebay . The vast majority of owners manuals on auction are of the most common variety. You will have extremely good odds to find a nice original 68 Mustang manual on ebay more so then at a flea market . Finding the original to your specific car when it was new manual may require you to just keep wishing on that star. People buy power ball lottery ticket with dare I say unrealistic high expectations too. Some win more don't have their expectations met.

I am fully aware that the possibility to find it is similar to winning millions in the powerball. But as I don’t play powerball, I use my luck finding the manual 
This is not a matter of live or die. If I don’t get it, I’m fine. If I do, I would be more than happy.

Few months back I have already seen on ebay a manual of a 68 c-code which vin was just few hundreds higher than mine. So decided to keep monitoring the web for mine.
