In the 1968 Ford brochures for the Mustang and Torino, both were offered with a W code single 4 BBL 427/390HP engine option for $700. This included PFDB, F70x14 WSW radial ply wide oval tires and a 3.23 9" HD rear. It was only to be available with the C6 automatic trans.
So did Ford actually build any? Kevin Marti who is the "keeper" of Ford's production data base says there is not a single W code VIN for either a Mustang or a Tornio. Ford officially dropped the 427 from it's engine lineup in December 1967.
So the answer is no. The 1968 427 Mustang GT and 1968 427 Torino GT are nothing more than urban legends.
