Looking for more info, production figures, package content, links, etc on the 67 -68 Mustang "Sprint Package".

Teach me!

According to the always reliable Mustang Monthly, the package contained a chrome air cleaner with decal, rocker mouldings, full wheel covers, and a vinyl covered shift handle. It was a low cost attempt to boost sales. Shameless. B)

 

was this Sprint option documented on the invoice or Marti report? Or is it like the 65-66 GT package, darn near impossible to prove authenticity?

for those not wanting to chase the link:

In 1968, to help bolster sales of the Mustang, Ford Motor Company offered two different "Sprint Mustang Packages". As a Sprint buyer, you had a choice of Sprint Package "A" or Sprint Package "B". Sprint Package "A" consisted of:

The option of a six-cylinder or eight-cylinder engine, included the C-shaped side striping, wheel lip moldings, full wheel covers and a pop-open gas cap.

Package "B" consisted of:

Eight-cylinder engine only, included the C-shaped side striping, wheel lip moldings, pop-open gas cap, but replaced the full wheel covers with argent painted Styled Steel wheels and added E70 Wide Oval white sidewall tires and grile-mounted fog lamps.

According to information gathered by J.R. Gillespie, other options, such as the Tutone (black striped) hood, the Interior Decor Group, and the hardtop vinyl roof could be combined with the Sprint Package. From Kevin Marti, author of Mustangs By The Numbers, there were 25,012 Sprint Package "A" Mustangs and 15,106 Sprint Package "B" Mustangs built in 1968.

 

Good info!
