Check out the custom speaker panels in the rear. The owner explains, "The stereo is hidden in vehicle. It has a Hidden Custom Audio Stereo with the remote head unit mounted in the glove box. It contains an mp3, iPod, usb, and remote control. A 5-channel Alpine amplifier is driving two MTX 3.5s in dash, with FOCAL 6-inch and separates mounted in the vinyl covered kick panels. The 10-inch pioneer shallow sub is in a custom designed enclosure. It is mounted out of site and in the rear cavity by wheel well. The amplifier is also mounted on a customized mount in the other wheel well. All staying completely hidden behind interior panels. (contact me at sales@cloudcasters.com for a set $300.00). Dynomat sound deadener was installed from roof to firewalls."

This shot is interesting. It shows the flexible pipe that connects the side scoops to the wheel well. The side scoops are functional on the 1966 Shelby. They allow extra cool air to the rear brakes.

Dave Fingar is restoring this 1968 Mustang fastback. Dave tells us about his progress so far, "I bought a disassembled shell last April and spent most of the summer removing and repairing rust. I am now working in my heated basement and have rebuilt the suspension and brakes. Last weekend we installed the engine. I expect the rest of the drivetrain to go in this week. January and February will be final body detail, then March is paint -
white with blue stripes. Hope to be driving it this summer."

This special order 1969 Sportsroof is being restored by David Laidlaw of Chesterfield, Derbyshire in the U.K. Hopefully we will get more photos as the restoration progresses. We think it maybe a late part of the Rainbow of Colors West coast promotion. David writes,
Bought the car from Colorado Springs back in 2007. Comes with Marti Report verifying its authenticity. Car was a combination of grey primer and yellow when bought, but on stripping down all the internal box sections and floor pans were pink. Originally had a 6 cylinder engine but arrived with a 302 lump and a three speed top loader in the trunk. It is now undergoing a complete tear down and ground up restoration to restore it to its original colour. Bodywork was excellent apart from the rear, trunk and bottom of rear arches. Rear rails were excellent. I have also replaced a section of rear floor (small hole), front footwells and the inner panel below the battery tray. It still has original drivers door and tag (paint code blank, DSO 737479) and only the passenger door and hood have been replaced since it was built. I have restored the 302 lump and gearbox but have retained all the original spec running gear and replaced with new, like-for-like. Don't have a go at me for spraying the engine bay pink, I know it should be satin black but we tend to colour the bay up in U.K. restorations and I can tell you this involves a staggering amount of preparation to get it to look good. The car should be finished in the next year and will be running on original genuine Ford Magnum 500's that I have located. Exhaust is a Flowmaster twin pipe setup and all chromework has either been replaced or restored along with glass and new interior. Should look a right eyefull when complete and is probably the only 69 SportsRoof in the U.K. in pink and may only be on of a handful of survivors in the World. I have not come across another one to date.

David tells us the data tag reads 63A sportsroof body style, 2A black interior trim, 19L scheduled for assembly on the 19th of November, 737479 Salt Lake City order district with special order number 7479, 6 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, and 1 3-speed manual transmission. We think this is a Rainbow of Colors promotion carry-over car since it matches other cars found in California also built in the San Jose plant (R, second digit in the VIN). The Rainbow of Colors promotion was a California/Utah promotion which featured special ordered colors. Although heavily promoted from February through June of 1968, we've seen elements of this promotion extending well into the 1969 production year.
