Check out this "during restoration" photo of a 1968 Rainbow of Colors Mustang in the light blue special order paint. The 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotion offered Mustangs in a rainbow of special ordered paint colors and options for the West Coast. We have been calling this color Beatnik Blue after an advertisement we found on the promotion at a local dealership. Mike has been restoring it. He had it shipped from California with much of its original paint, Ford special order WT8095. We have other examples of this paint on our site, but this one matches the original. The original was non-metallic. WT8... were blue colors; if the second digit was less than 8, it was non-metallic, etc. This beautiful car is our Attitude Of The Week starting April 23, 2022. See the car's original condition in the next photo.

Two Highland Green 1968 Mustang GTs were built for the movie. One was destroyed during the movie. The other is rumored to still be around but stashed away from the public eye. They were originally modified for filming by Max Balchowski. They received GR70 tires mounted on 15x8 American Racing Torque Thrusts, heavy duty springs, Koni racing shocks, and added reinforcing braces for the inner fenders. Each car had 390ci 4V engines tweaked for higher performance.

Long thought gone, Ralph Garcia, Jr. and Hugo Sanchez (in 2016) happened across one of the two Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT 390 fastbacks used in the 1968 Movie called Bullitt. They were looking for fastbacks to turn into Eleanor replicas when then noticed some odd features of this wrecked fastback. It was verified as one of the two Bullitt Mustangs and the story was released to the public in March of 2017.
