This might be the only factory painted Madagascar Orange 1968, Mustang hardtop ever made. It is owned by Karen Rose in Raleigh, North Carolina. This car was originally ordered by her grandma Frannie in California, who picked out one of the special factory colors advertised in the "Rainbow of Colors" Ford promotion between 1968 and 1969. Karen writes, I still drive this car regularly, but it could use some restoration, most pressingly a new hard top. I've been scouting around for a good body shop in the Raleigh NC area if you know of one. Thank! And you don't even want to see photos of my engine, it's not a pretty sight, but at only 160k, garaged most of her life in California, I'm still able to keep her going replacing part for part as they wear out. She's a good gal at 40. A larger view of this car is also available. Let's hope Karen can get some more photos of her incredibly unique car. Also checkout the artwork Karen did on her car.
