The first Gold Mustang was introduced the first year of Mustang production in 1964 as a gold shade of bronze called Prairie Bronze. Another golden 1964 Mustang color was Chantilly Beige. There were 48 offerings of Gold in 20 of the 47 production years of the Mustang. Follow this link to see photos of all Gold Mustangs on this site.
Gold Glow was one of the first Glow Paint offerings in 1972 as an option for $34 extra. By 1973, Gold Glow was offered at no extra charge but was offered for the last time. In 1978 and then again in 1980 a gold colored Chamois Glow was offered, and then in 1981 a Bittersweet Glow was available. We are currently looking for 1981 Bittersweet Glow Mustangs.
There were a few Gold featured Mustang special models. These models came exclusively in gold or special gold paint.
Aspen Gold 1966 and 1967 High Country Special
Aspen Gold was one of three special colors for the Colorado area High Country Special promotional Mustang for 1966 and 1967. The High Country Special had several sport options including a 6 cylinder or V8 engine, wire or regular wheels, and a High Country Special blue fender badge. The other two special colors were Columbine Blue and Timberline Green.
Bronze 1967 Shelby Mustang
Bronze was only available in 1967 as a standard Mustang Shelby GT350 or GT500 color. Bronze was one of 6 colors offered on 1967 Shelby Mustangs and one of the 3 unique colors, the other 1967 Shelby only colors were Dark Blue and Medium Gray.
Anniversary Gold 1968 Gold Nugget Special
Although it could be ordered in any color, Anniversary Gold (color code Y, usually followed with a "5" to indicate a blacked out hood) was the primary color for the 1968 Gold Nugget Special or Golden Nugget Limited Edition Mustang. This Mustang was a special promotion in the Oregon/Seattle area which came with the 289 cubic inch 2V V8 engine, C4 automatic transmission, louvered hood, black stripes, black vinyl top, black interior, and featured unique golden plaques on the dashboard with the original owner's name engraved. 525 Golden Nugget Limited Edition Mustangs were offered.
There are several other Gold Special Model Mustangs we are working on. One is the 1966 One Millionth Anniversary Mustang which were all assembled in San Jose on March of 1966 under special order 111 (DSO 33111 on the door tag), were all hardtops, and all painted Anniversary Gold. Another was the 1967 Territorial promotional Mustangs which used three shades of Anniversary Gold. We are working on the paint chips for these Mustangs since the DuPont numbers are all different. Other 1967 Territorial promotional Mustangs included the Colorado High Country Special, the Denver Ski Country Special, the Texas Blue Bonnet Special, and special Lavender for the Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi area. We have the Ford and DuPont color codes for Black Hills Gold used on the January 68 Color of the Month promotional Mustang, but have not found an example of one. We are also trying to figure out what Spanish Gold of the Rainbow of Colors 1968-69 West Coast promotion looked like.
Below is a list of all years and shades of Gold Mustangs.
