(from page 3 of the 1968 Collection) This probably a one of a kind Sierra Blue 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional GT Mustang hardtop. It has a black vinyl roof, aftermarket wheels, black side C stripe, vented hood, fog lamps, metal rocker panel trim, and a 390ci V8 engine. Scott Johnson's family bought this car in the mid 1970's from a local dealer, probably only one other owner. During the 70s the car was repainted to a match of its original factory color. Scott says that everyone thought that this could not have been a factory color since nothing like it is on the 1968 Mustang color charts until he recently ordered a Marti Report which showed the car as one of the Rainbow of Color promotional GT hardtops and it was painted Sierra Blue. The 1968-69 Rainbow of Colors promotion offered 13 special colors, one of them was Sierra Blue. This amazing car was our Attitude Of The Week for November 23, 2008. See our Rainbow of Colors special information page for more information on the information we have been able to put together on all 13 colors.

(from page 5 of the 1968 Collection) This rare 1968 Madagascar Orange Mustang hardtop from the west coast Rainbow of Colors promotion is owned by Dale Olson of Rohnert Park, California. It was our Attitude Of The Week for December 28th, 2008. Dale writes, I got this car in 1990 and finished restoring it in 1996. It was not show room quality, but it was a very nice car. For the entire time I've had it, I was misreading the data plate and didn't know exactly what the car was. Even few years ago I did search on internet of Orange 68 Mustang, and got nothing. Just within the past few weeks I finally found out the car was a part of the Rainbow Mustang promotion of 68 and 69. I don't have the original engine in it because when I got the car someone had put a straight six in it. I also had a 67 mustang with a 289 4v that was usable so I rebuilt it. Also no longer have the C4 automatic for it. I put in the Ford design 4 speed (RUG-E2), but no modifications other than bolt-ons. The car only has 23,000 miles on it since restoring it, but due to it sitting outside in the weather, it needs to be completely restored again (except the engine, transmission, and rear end). We've included some scanned in photos after its first restoration in 1996, hopefully Dale can get us more in the future. Also take a look at our Rainbow of Colors special information page to see what we believe all 13 colors from the Rainbow of Colors promotion looked like along with photos of other Rainbow of Colors cars.

(from page 5 of the 1968 Collection) Here is a photo of Dale's Madagascar Orange 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang hardtop just after he restored it in 1996. All Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustangs were special order built in the San Jose plant, and to this date we have found one's ordered in the Los Angeles, San Jose (also delivering to Honolulu Hawaii), and Salt Lake areas. The promotion offered a Rainbow of Colors such as Madagascar Orange, Whipped Cream, Spanish Gold, Dandelion Yellow, Hot Pink, Caribbean Coral, Forest Green, Sierra Blue, and Moss Green.

(from page 5 of the 1968 Collection) Here is the interior of Dale's 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang hardtop.

(from page 5 of the 1968 Collection) Here is a view of the 1967 289ci 4V V8 that Dale installed during restoration.

(from page 5 of the 1968 Collection) The door data tag is the key to showing that this is a special ordered car. Let's read it: 65A hardtop body style, blank color code indicating a special color, 2U parchment crinkle vinyl and parchment kiwi vinyl with black interior, 16B assembled on the 16th of February, 72 ordered in the San Jose area under special order number 1187, 5 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, and W C4 automatic transmission. The three things that make this data tag match the Rainbow of Colors promotion are the 8R in the VIN indicating the correct year and factory which built this car, a blank color code indicating that a special factory paint was used, and 721187 showing that this car was special ordered in San Jose.
