Found Lore: Special-Edition Mustangs

If you see a Mustang that looks modified at a concours show, the owner says it is real, and you are smitten with the urge to call him a dunderhead because you’ve never seen a Mach 1 with side stripes such as that and a picture of a tornado on the rear quarters, you’d best keep your mouth shut. In all likelihood, it is real.

Ford built oodles of special-edition Mustangs, some of which even the most seasoned experts have never seen, such as a ’68 Red Bird (Cardinal) Special, built for the states of Virginia and North Carolina, where the cardinal is the state bird. Bill Weaver told us these cars came with rear quarter badges that were gold with a red cardinal. Apparently, none of these cars have been restored. Weaver has three of the badges and the instruction sheet on how to install them, though.

Probably the most commonly known special edition is the ’68 California Special. Colorado dealers had a High Country Special for 1966, 1967, and 1968. The Mustang with the tornado on the rear quarters is the ’70 Twister Special from Kansas. We could name more than a dozen special-edition Mustangs. Texas had a Blue Bonnet Special. Did you ever hear of the ’68 Gold Nugget Special?

Some of the special editions are one of a kind, such as the ’68 in Jeff Kreuger’s garage. Most people think he is making up his own Playboy Pink Mustang. At a show, one lady exclaimed, “That’s not real!” Oh, but it is real. His hardtop is Passionate Pink, one of the Color of the Month Mustangs offered through the Denver sales district in the first four months of 1968. Passionate Pink made sense for February and Valentine’s Day, and Emerald Green was perfect for March and St. Patrick’s Day. Kreuger’s car is the only one of its color to surface, although at least 10 were built.
