1968 was a carryover year for pony cars. Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds, and Barracudas remained essentially the same with the minor changes to grills, taillights, wheels, and interiors. Federally mandated side marker lights appeared for the first time.  

The Mints didn't give us many pony cars in 1968 other than Mustangs, so I've added a couple of '67s.  1969 is a whole different story...  I don't have any other 1968 Mustangs, so if you do, please post!

1968 Mustang GT. This is a 1:25 diecast kit from Revell. It was from the American Dream series. Only operating feature is an opening hood. Does build into a nice looking model

@bob That Revell kit looks nice, they got the proportions of the Mustang spot on, much better than the Franklin Mint did.

PS: I think I got my answer ... GMP did the 1967 Shelby convertible
