Here is a shot of the rear seat. They called the fastback a 2+2 because you could put two people in the front seats and two in the back. The rear seat looks tight an uncomfortable.

Special order orange 1969 Mach 1 Mustang fastback owned by Mark. This car still wears it's original orange paint. It has a Q-code Super Cobra Jet engine and a 4-speed manual transmission. It was ordered under DSO special order number 750238 and delivered May 22nd to Sanderson Ford in Phoenix, Arizona. Could this be a Rainbow Of Colors car with Madagascar Orange paint? We don't have any records of this special order number or special editions coming out of Phoenix, Arizona. Mark adds,"The car has never been wrecked or rusted and never been painted with 31,000 original Arizona miles. He quit driving the car in 1977 after the last of 6 clutches blew up in the car and it had no more warranty. The original owner is still alive and he told me that he only had the dealer work on the car that explains why all the original smog and everything is still untouched with no hacking what so ever."

It has a Shelby roll bar installed, 1970 hood locks, and the roof emblems were removed giving it a cleaner look. This car was originally purchased from Russ Davis Ford in Covina, California under the Rainbow of Colors promotion with a color code of WT9106 or Purple."
