My Dad is the original owner of a 68 that is this color. It was sold in the denver sales district as "eastertime coral" It is the same paint code as the madigascar orange. I have personally seen 2-3 other cars running around colorado. As I recall, they all had either the sprint A or sprint B package. Do you know how many cars this color were sold in CA? From what I read, there were 10-15 eastertime coral cars sold in Colorado making it a fairly rare car.

We have across the pond a 72-1194 "olive" 68 Hardtop (a Branded Special) and wonder what the Ford color code WT7105 indicates of those Rainbow colours, most probably the Forrest green?

John, We really enjoyed your detailed story about your amazing restoration and lifelong love of Mustangs! Thanks to Virginia Classic Mustang for forwarding your letter to me. My dad will keep an eye out for your car in San Francisco! My Mustang is looking very sharp these days since I fixed the roof, and replaced the carpet and dash all for under $500. We definitely have both ends of the spectrum covered as far as restoration on this car is concerned! You can see a little book I designed at CCAC about my car. Below is the URL.
Hope the tour goes great!

I love the color combo - hard to tell from pics, but looks kind of like poppy red? Either way, it looks great with that black roof.
