Oh my, check out this 1968 Salt Lake City Rainbow of Colors Mustang hardtop in special order purple! The photo looks like a painting. Jayme owns this car and is getting ready for restoration. It has the optional J-code, 230hp, 302ci 4V V8 under the hood, GT side stripe, full wheel covers, parchment interior trim, C4 automatic transmission, and of course special purple paint. We have been looking for the purple paint that has been listed in ads for the Rainbow of Colors promotion, and this one shows it off. We think it is Ford special paint code WT9083 (see the door data tag photo for a non-faded view of this paint). This amazing car and great photo is our Attitude of the Week starting July 9th, 2022.

This is also the first good example of this purple paint on a 1968 Rainbow of Colors Mustang. We think it is Ford special order paint
WT9083.

This special order Ford purple color is amazing. There is a Bozeman dealership badge on the rear as well. The Utah/Idaho/Montana area did advertise purple Rainbow of Color promotional Mustang where the California area advertised the other promotional colors. The Rainbow of Colors promotion offered upgraded Mustangs in what we found as 14 special order colors.
