This is a Black Hills Gold, South Dakota, local special edition Mustang convertible with special order gold paint, sport wheels, louvered hood, and 302ci V8 under the hood. We are calling it a "Special Dakota Days" Gold Mustang special model since one of the original newspaper advertisements referred to the cars in this way. Only twenty-five of these special models were ordered (5 hardtops and 20 convertibles).

Another photo of a Special Dakota Days Gold Mustang convertible with special order paint, sport wheels, and louvered hood. The special order paint name of "Black Hills Gold" makes sense since this is a South Dakota territorial special edition Mustang.
(from page 30 of the 1968 Collection)
The convertible roof color is white. The special order paint is much brighter than the standard Sunlit Gold offered in 1968.
