All 1968 Shelby GT-350s came 302ci 4-bbl V8 engine. This one has the optional air conditioning.
The interior is black with a lot of woodgrain accent pieces.
 
Special order Passionate Pink (from the Feburary 1968 Color of the Month promotion) and the 1968 and 1969 Rainbow of Colors promotion (Hot Pink) 1968 Mustang hardtop. This car was ordered in April of 1968 which puts the car between the two promotions, but the same color (Ford# WT9036) was used on both. Because all Color of the Month promotional Mustangs were reported to have been built at the San Jose plant (R-code in the VIN), and this car was built at the Dearborn plant (F-code), we believe this car was dealer ordered for the late April Easter Collection of Colors promotion which featured many of the pastel colors available on 1968 Mustangs. Besides the special order paint: this car has the deluxe full disc wheel covers; metal rocker panel trim; and the base level 115hp (at 400rpm), 200 cubic inch, 1 barrel, inline 6 cylinder engine. This is a Sprint 200 A (automatic transmission) special order car which included the deluxe wheel covers, rocker panel trim, and louvered hood sport options at a reduced cost.
