68 DSO code and option

[bullitt77]

hi i ask you a question for a frien of mine

he jsut bought a 68 convertible , we have some question :

what is the 910232 DSO code ?

what were the option : touch-up paint and accessory packaging this information come from the marty report

thanks

best regards

The 910232 DSO code indicates a special order car. Most special orders were for a non-Mustang paint color.

The DSO indicates that this was the 232nd special order car for DSO 91 (91-0232).

The touch up paint reference on the Marti report probably indicates that this car was special ordered for the paint color.

The only way to determine the original paint color is to look for traces of it.

DSO 91 means it was a car for export. The 0232 does not always mean it was special order 232 for that district office as all Golden Nuggets have 1111 after the DSO. Do you have all the numbers in order from the cars' warranty plate on the door. Mine for example is 65A Y5 2A 2A 74 1111 2 W. All this broken down means in order, 2 door coupe bucket seats, Y5 means it's paint was sunlit gold with satin black accents. 2A for black vinyl interior and 2A for 2nd of January 68. 74 is the district office for Seattle while 1111 indicates that it is a speacial dealer option, which is the Gold Nugget Edition. the 2 and the w reffer to the differential and the trans. More information is avaliable at http://www.geocities.com/mustangs68.geo/index.html
I would be interested in the information if you felt like posting it.

what do you think of that ?

 

[bullitt77]

so ? do you thinks ot could be a color of the month car ?

 

[snottystang]

As far as I know the Special Month paints were only options from Denver in the US but I am not 100 percent sure. The dealer code of 0232 could be a special paint/interior order like mine. I would suggest your friend look up Ford international's number and call them with all the infor such as VIN and Warranty Plate numbers. Ford is actually looking up information on my car for me and they might be able to do the same for him. Keep me updated and post pics if you can, would love to see it.

 

[bullitt77]

i'm also looking for another friend for 1968 302 2v and 4 v casting numbers

Thansk for keeping me in the loop. That is going to be a beautiful car when he is finished. I have always had a special place for the mustangs that were exported for some reason, not sure why. I am not sure about the castings, if I get time over the next few days I will see what I can find. I am going sailing for 5 days so it might be a while until I get back to you. Thanks again for the pictures.
