Under this black paint is Caribbean Coral paint. It's a 'Rainbow of Colors' Special edition 1968 Mustang. It's owned by Brandon Salisbury. Brandon is 16 and is planning to restore the car with his Father. The Marti report states that it is a Special Paint Coral, Ford #WT9012. It was built in San Jose (8R) on 3/8/68 and ordered through the Salt Lake City DSO (73) with special order# 3061. It was sold through Gooding Ford in Gooding, Idaho. This paint was also offered on the 'Color of the Month' special edition Mustangs. This Coral Mustang was built about a month too early to be considered a 'Color of the Month' special edition. The Coral paint was an April color. The special order number on this Mustang is close to 3059 which we know is part of the 'Rainbow of Colors' promotion. We believe most of the 'Color of the Month' cars came from the Metuchen New Jersey factory, and we have never found an advertisement for the 'Color of the Month' promotion from the Salt Lake City area.

This is a 1968 Mustang hardtop with special order paint Caribbean Coral (

Color of the Month promotion, and it was called Caribbean Coral for the 1968 to 1969 west coast
Rainbow of Colors promotion. The
Rainbow of Colors promotion allowed new Mustang owners a discount on sport options and one of 13 special order paint colors.

Even though this car has been repainted, it is a pretty good match to its original color. Check out the color under the carpet in the trunk (last photo of this set) or other Caribbean Coral Mustangs on this site.
