Do you see anything unusual in this interior? It has a bench seat. Not many Mustangs were ordered with a front bench seat.
(from page 50 of the 1968 Collection)
Another shot of the interior with that rare bench seat. The shifter handle is bent more than the non-bench seat version. This is so that it does not touch the seat when in 2nd or 4th gear.

Special Passionate Pink 1968 Mustang hardtop ordered as part of the February promotion to celebrate Valentine's Day. The
Mustang promotion ran the first four months of 1968 featuring a New Years January special gold paint, pink for Valentine's Day, a March St. Patrick's Day green, and Eastertime Coral in April. All
Mustangs where rumored to be built in San Jose (VIN starting with 8R) and ordered for the Denver area. This car was built in San Jose but ordered in Los Angeles under special order
. In 1968, the San Jose plant also built special order cars with this same pink paint (
West Coast promotion. The
cars were mainly ordered in the Los Angeles area, so this may be one of those cars instead.
