The “High Country Special” was a limited-edition version of the Ford Mustang that was produced in 1966, 1967, and 1968. It was specifically marketed to dealerships in the Denver, Colorado area, and was designed to capitalize on the popularity of the Mustang in that region.
The Mustang High Country Special featured several unique visual enhancements compared to the standard Mustang of its time. These included special badging, C-shaped side stripes, and a variety of available exterior colors such as Columbine Blue, Aspen Gold, Timberline Green, and more. Some models also had a louvered rear quarter-panel trim, unique wheel covers, and a distinctive blacked-out grille.
Mechanically, the High Country Special was not significantly different from the standard Mustangs of that era. It was available with a range of engine options, including inline-six and V8 engines, and could be equipped with various transmission choices such as manual or automatic.
Due to its limited production and regional availability, the Mustang High Country Special is considered a rare and sought-after collector’s item among Mustang enthusiasts today.
