(4 photos of a 1968 Madagascar Orange Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) Check this one out. It's a Madagascar Orange 1968 Mustang hardtop Rainbow of Colors. It was sent in by Bryant Hatfield from Palmer, Texas. Bryant tells us, "It was owned by my friends father. It was buried in a garage for years. His father had passed away so I have no
story on the car. Kinda upsetting, but I had noticed the car had no
paint code and I started researching and found your site and one other
that showed 1187 as my DSO code which states it was a special order
orange." The car came with a 289 V8. It now has a 351w V8 engine.
(2 photos of a 1968 Beatnik Blue Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Fastback) Check out this "during restoration" photo of a 1968 Rainbow of Colors Mustang in the light blue special order paint. The 1968
Rainbow of Colors promotion offered Mustangs in a rainbow of special ordered paint colors and options for the West Coast. We have been calling this color
Beatnik Blue after an advertisement we found on the promotion at a local dealership. Mike has been restoring it. He had it shipped from California with much of its original paint, Ford special order WT8095. We have other examples of this paint on our site, but this one matches the original. The original was non-metallic. WT8... were blue colors; if the second digit was less than 8, it was non-metallic, etc. This beautiful car is our
Attitude Of The Week starting April 23, 2022. See the car's original condition in the next photo.
(4 photos of a 1968 Purple Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) 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.
(4 photos of a 1968 Powerful Purple Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Fastback) Check out this restored Powerful Purple 1968 Rainbow of Colors fastback Mustang. It is being worked on by
Mainly Muscle Cars of Washington. This car was originally sold in the Bozeman, Montana area so it is one of those rare Idaho/Montana 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustangs. 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.
(10 photos of a 1968 Special Green Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) Here is an unusual one. Its a special order 1968 Mustang hardtop which came with automatic transmission, power steering, sport tires, sport wheel covers, louvered hood, C-code 289ci V8 engine, black side stripe, and special order paint (
WT7148). It was built in the San Jose plant but under special order number 3059 from Salt Lake City. We've confirmed that the
Rainbow of Colors promotion also ran from Salt Lake City. We've been recently emailed of
another special order green painted Mustang from the same special order number by Mike in Idaho. We think both of these cars were part of the Rainbow of Colors west coast promotion. WT7148 is a close match to WT7126 which was used in this promotion.
(9 photos of a 1968 Special Green Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) Mike Taylor from Meridian, Idaho found this special order green painted 1968 hardtop parked in Billings, Montana, outside, under a canvas cover. It had been there for six years. Mike sent us photos of the car as he found it and a few of getting it home. Mike is starting to restore it. It is a special ordered car with a blank paint code and special order number 3059 from Salt Lake City.
What is interesting about this car is its special color. Mike's research shows it as Ford special order code
WT7034 and was ordered with
Andrew's 1968 Special Order Green Mustang of which we also have photos of. Andrew's car is a bluish green that Marti matched to WT7148 which is an almost exact match to WT7126. Both WT7034 and WT7126 has an historical use on 1968 and 69 Mustangs since it is two of 13 colors used for the West Coast
Rainbow of Colors promotion. We've just confirmed that the Rainbow of Colors ran in the LA, San Jose, and Salt Lake City area.
(2 photos of a 1968 Madagascar Orange Mustang Rainbow Of Colors ) Josh sends us this photo of a car he just found, a 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang hardtop in special order Madagascar Orange. It has the louvered hood option, side stripe, possibility a vinyl roof, and special order paint. The
Rainbow of Colors promotion offered special paint on baseline and heavily optioned Mustangs in the California and Utah areas.
(11 photos of a 1968 Caribbean Coral Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) This is a 1968 Mustang hardtop with special order paint Caribbean Coral (
WT9012) which was used in two 1968 promotions. This color was called Eastertime Coral for the April
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.
(21 photos of a 1968 Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Advertisement) Here is a key Ford newspaper advertisement for the West 1968-69
Rainbow of Colors promotional sale which allowed new Mustang owners choices in "wild" special order colors as well as sporty upgrades. It is the earliest newspaper advertisement we have found, and it appears to be one created by Ford which allows participating dealers to add their name and address to the bottom. The advertisement doesn't give much information other than that there are 10 special colors, limited to 500 Mustangs, and only offered in the West. We think that due to the success of this promotion, some dealerships extended it beyond 500 Mustangs, included more than 10 colors, and extended the promotion into 1969. We found this advertisement in the February 14th, 1968 edition of the Ukiah Daily Journal of Ukiah, California.
(13 photos of a 1968 Madagascar Orange Mustang Rainbow Of Colors Hardtop) This is a Madagascar Orange 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang with a J-code, 230hp, 302 cubic inch, 4-barrel V8. This car was a special order car from the San Jose, California area. Besides the special order paint it came with automatic transmission, white sidewall tires, center console, power disk brakes, power steering, AM radio, tinted glass, deluxe seat belts, remote left hand mirror, and deluxe wheel covers which included the center red cap to the standard full wheel covers. The vinyl roof may have been a dealer added option. The
Rainbow of Colors was an east coast promotion which featured special order paint in a rainbow of colors. I got to see this car in person. Its been repainted but its in very good condition. We also have a
sister to this car since it shares the same special order number.
(7 photos of a 1969 Poppy Green Mach 1 Russ Davis Performance Special / Rainbow Of Colors Mustang Fastback) Peter Manson's restored Poppy Green, 1969, Russ Davis Special / Rainbow of Colors, Super Cobra Jet, Mach 1 fastback was our Attitude of the Week for March 8th, 2008. This amazing Mach 1 was one of 10 ordered by Russ Davis Ford of Covina California to promote his dealership and most likely his racing cars. We actually have its sister on our site. Peter has done
extensive research as well as restoration on his car. The
Rainbow of Colors was a west coast primarily 1968 sales promotion which offered new Mustang owners many sporty upgrades as well as one of 13 or 14 special order bright colors. Many of these cars were base models. New information on Russ Davis shows that this special order may have been for a racing promotion since the several race car drivers were salesmen including Gas Ronda with his famous brightly colored Cobra Jet racer.
(5 photos of a 1969 Beatnik Blue Mach 1 Performance Special / Rainbow Of Colors Mustang Fastback) This is a Beatnik Blue 1969 Special Order Mach 1 Mustang fastback. This special model was purchased new in Torrence, California, possibly an extension of the

(1 photos of a 1969 Yellow Mach 1 Performance Special / Rainbow Of Colors Mustang Fastback) This is a 1969 Mach 1 owned by Mick Stadtmiller from Qld Australia. This Mach 1 was originally Poppy Green and possibly an extension of the
1968 Rainbow of Colors dealer promotion. It is our featured
