A shot the dash. It has an automatic transmission and an aftermarket radio. A Shelby steering wheel would have a Shelby Snake in the center, but this steering wheel looks red.

This special order 1969 Sportsroof is being restored by David Laidlaw of Chesterfield, Derbyshire in the U.K. Hopefully we will get more photos as the restoration progresses. We think it maybe a late part of the Rainbow of Colors West coast promotion. David writes,
Bought the car from Colorado Springs back in 2007. Comes with Marti Report verifying its authenticity. Car was a combination of grey primer and yellow when bought, but on stripping down all the internal box sections and floor pans were pink. Originally had a 6 cylinder engine but arrived with a 302 lump and a three speed top loader in the trunk. It is now undergoing a complete tear down and ground up restoration to restore it to its original colour. Bodywork was excellent apart from the rear, trunk and bottom of rear arches. Rear rails were excellent. I have also replaced a section of rear floor (small hole), front footwells and the inner panel below the battery tray. It still has original drivers door and tag (paint code blank, DSO 737479) and only the passenger door and hood have been replaced since it was built. I have restored the 302 lump and gearbox but have retained all the original spec running gear and replaced with new, like-for-like. Don't have a go at me for spraying the engine bay pink, I know it should be satin black but we tend to colour the bay up in U.K. restorations and I can tell you this involves a staggering amount of preparation to get it to look good. The car should be finished in the next year and will be running on original genuine Ford Magnum 500's that I have located. Exhaust is a Flowmaster twin pipe setup and all chromework has either been replaced or restored along with glass and new interior. Should look a right eyefull when complete and is probably the only 69 SportsRoof in the U.K. in pink and may only be on of a handful of survivors in the World. I have not come across another one to date.

David tells us the data tag reads 63A sportsroof body style, 2A black interior trim, 19L scheduled for assembly on the 19th of November, 737479 Salt Lake City order district with special order number 7479, 6 3.00:1 rear axle ratio, and 1 3-speed manual transmission. We think this is a Rainbow of Colors promotion carry-over car since it matches other cars found in California also built in the San Jose plant (R, second digit in the VIN). The Rainbow of Colors promotion was a California/Utah promotion which featured special ordered colors. Although heavily promoted from February through June of 1968, we've seen elements of this promotion extending well into the 1969 production year.

And the next steps were to put the car back together. Here is a shot of the front end before the grille was installed.

In this shot, you can see that most of the interior has been installed. Those are Vermillion/Houndstooth seat covers.

Here is a shot during the restoration process. The front end is removed along with the doors and interior. Here you can see both the original green and the later Grabber Orange paint.

Check out this 1970 Mustang fastback that Dominic Napolitano picked up! Dominic tells us more, "It has a 302 with 3-speed, but not sure if its factory. The car spent most of its life in Texas, but enough time in Michigan to develop a little cancer. I have most of the sheet metal to restore her. Its a Father-Son Project (mostly father, Son is 4). I have a 95 Lightning engine for it and shopping for a T5. Its definitely a 'barn find' - only gave a thousand for her. "
