This is an amazing close-up shot of Robbie's, Olive Green, 1968, Branded, Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang. Incredible restoration and photo Robbie!!! This will be my desktop wallpaper for quite some time.
Here Robbie is holding his newly discovered original design replica of the Branded Special vinyl roof emblem. The lower one was his best guess at the time of restoration which included a new vinyl roof, since the emblems were missing but the three bolt holes indicated its original location.
Nicely restored Nugget Gold vinyl interior which includes many upgrades including a full center console, automatic transmission, deluxe steering wheel, color matched deluxe seat belts, air conditioning, AM radio, and electric clock. See the next photo for a better shot of the electric clock.

This is a photo of the door data tag before restoration. The door data tag reads: 65A hardtop body style with standard bucket seats, blank color code indicating a special order color, 2Y nugget gold vinyl bucket seats, 16B scheduled for assembly on the 16th of February, 1968, 72 ordered in the San Jose area, 1194 special order number which is shared with Jeff from Oregon, 5 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, and W C4 automatic transmission. This data tag along with the color gives us the best match to the Rainbow of Colors west coast promotion. All cars for this promotion were built in the San Jose plant in 1968 or 1969 which the 8R in the VIN indicates. Also all the cars we've found were either ordered in the San Jose area (DSO 72) or Los Angeles (DSO 71), had blank color codes indicating a special order color, and have a special order number. Many of the options of this car also match the other Rainbow of Colors Mustangs we've compiled.
Here is a great photo of Robbie's, Olive Green, 1968, Branded, Rainbow of Colors promotional Mustang before restoration. He found it in San Jose, under a cloth in a driveway before shipping it to the Netherlands.

Vermillion Red 1968 Mustang hardtop owned by Julie Austad from Everett, Washington. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week photo for the week starting December 27, 2009. Julie also has a 2006 Mustang. Julie shares, "I bought the car 8/9/03 as a 'Totally Restored Beauty'. It wasn't. It had been painted, the engine had been worked on, and the interior redone. I have done the rest. It now has FlowMaster dual exhaust, was stock with single exhaust. It has been converted from a 2bbl to a 4bbl system with an Edelbrock 1406 carburetor and a Ford 289 4bbl cast iron manifold. In my garage, I have a 351 Windsor on an engine stand that I have torn down and am waiting for the money to be saved for the 408 stroker parts I want. Then I will rebuild it myself. Yes, I am a girl who doesn't mind getting dirty. I have a full shop in my garage including engine hoist and tools. Donations are always welcome for this project."| PrevYear |
