Amazing Colorado Sky Country Special 1967 Mustang hardtop in Aspen Red exterior paint. This one has the dealer installed a half vinyl roof and opera window. But check out that Aspen Red special order paint. One of 4 special ordered colors for this promotion. This car is missing its truck top mounted luggage rack, but it does have a rear mounted Ski Country Special badge. Check out all the photos.

Richard sends us this set of photos of his 1967 Ski Country Special Mustang hardtop in special order Aspen Red. Richard is the third owner and thinks the car was special ordered by Jess Hunter Ford of Pueblo Colorado for his wife. This car is missing its trunk top luggage rack (supposed ski rack) but it does have a rear mounted Ski Country Special badge. This amazing car is our Attitude Of The Week starting November 6, 2022. This Aspen Red special order paint was only a production paint as Ember Red on the 1958 Ford Edsel, but is most famous for its use on the 1963 Gibson Firebird electric guitar. This car also does not have owner added hood stripes which our other example has (sorry Greenlight diecast model car company who mistakenly put stripes on there examples of the 1967 Sky Country Special).

Nice side view of Richard's 1967 Ski Country Special really showing off that special order Aspen Red paint. The other 3 colors of this promotion included Loveland Green, Brechenridge Yellow, and Winter Park Turquoise. This color actually started our paintref.com website. Before that site, no one knew what all four colors looked like. Even Frank, the owner of the other Aspen Red Ski Country Special car thought his car was re-painted the wrong color. After hours of looking through paint chip pages I found chips for all four colors under different years, makes, and models. Not wanting spend this time again on other special order paints, I created paintref.com.

Under the hood is an original C-code, 289 cubic inch, V8 originally rated at 200hp. The door data tag of this car reads: 65A hardtop body style, 2U parchment standard bucket seats, 09M December 9 1966 scheduled completion date, 510005 Denver district order with special order number 0005, A 3.00 aqua-lok axle ratio, and W C-4 select shift cruise-o-matic transmission. Very look special order numbers are usually reserved for common special order groups for that year; therefore, 0005 was reserved for the Ski Country Special. It is possible that variants of the special got higher number codes.

Nice close-up of the dash showing off a bit of the optional center console and parchment interior trim. Looks like 55070 miles, probably not 155070 (see the trunk and other interior photos, very little wear...)

This 1967 Ski Country Special was ordered by Jess Hunter Ford of Pueblo Colorado. It still has its original dealer badge on the rear.
