71 0778 ordered in the Los Angeles area under special order 0778,

Here is the invoice showing the optional 289ci 2V V8 engine, automatic transmission, 695 X 14-4 PR WSW tires, AM radio, tinted glass, and special order 0778 for DSO 71 (Los Angeles). The louvered hood is part of the Exterior Decor Group option which is not listed on this invoice, so it was probably added later.

Check this one out! It's a Beatnik Blue 1968 Rainbow of Colors Mustang hardtop. This is our
Attitude Of The Week for the week starting June 22, 2020. Jason reached out to us to confirm. He asked,
"I think I have a rainbow of colours car. The car is in excellent condition and still retains its original body metal. It has spent years inside and never left exposed to the elements. From what I can see the car appears as if it was repainted once but I can not find anything anywhere that shows it to be painted any other colour. I sent a small paint chip in when requested by Kevin Marti so they could determine the paint code. They said it was beatnic blue..." Jason showed us a copy of the Marti Report with the WT8095 paint code match and the DSO of 710784. According to our research, this DSO matches a Beatnik Blue sibling that was delivered to Bill Ellis Ford in Rialto, California. Jason's was delivered to California Motors in Glendale, California. The dealerships are 55 miles apart.

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.

We know of two other Madagascar Orange 1968 Rainbow of Colors Mustangs ordered under the 71-1187 order district/DSO. This one appears to have had a vinyl top.

Looks to be little rust. Or the fenders have been replaced.

Nice solid Texas Mustang.
