This is a Madagascar Orange 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang with a J-code, 230hp, 302 cubic inch, 4-barrel V8. This car was a special order car from the San Jose, California area. Besides the special order paint it came with automatic transmission, white sidewall tires, center console, power disk brakes, power steering, AM radio, tinted glass, deluxe seat belts, remote left hand mirror, and deluxe wheel covers which included the center red cap to the standard full wheel covers. The vinyl roof may have been a dealer added option. The Rainbow of Colors was an east coast promotion which featured special order paint in a rainbow of colors. I got to see this car in person. Its been repainted but its in very good condition. We also have a sister to this car since it shares the same special order number.

That's the area around Monroe, Washington, in the background. I live in the area. Vinyl roofs were usually added by the dealer as an upgrade since it was such a popular option. There were many colors and patterns, including a crazy paisley pattern. Luckily this special order Mustang has a standard black one.

Grabber Orange 1969 Mustang Shelby GT350 convertible owned by Jim Srp from Boerne, Texas. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting April 3, 2011. Jim adds, "Purchased two years ago. It is an original Colorado car and owned by the same family since 1980. Ford produced only four Grabber Orange convertibles and this is one of two four speeds. All original parts, drivetrain and motor and just completed a frame off restoration."
