There were 4 302s: a 6, F, J, and G code.

B is for the 302 Boss which is the G code.

In 67 there were 7,490 "special paint" cars.

No telling what the rarest colors were/are.

My 68 started life as a presidential blue car with blue interior. I kept the blue interior, but painted it Acapulco blue on restoration. I did not want the presidential blue, too dark for me, but you don't see many of them around.

I've never seen one, but I'll get the chance soon. Here's a photo I found-

My Marti report says that my 68 vert was one of 3,316 cars with the Lime Gold paint code that year and one of only 111 with that exterior combined with the Ivy Gold interior which sounds like it would make a fairly rare car. This was just for the 1968 convertibles.

I do not know if that means ALL Mustangs built that year or just the Dearborn plant.

I love my lime gold 'vert. It just works on a Mustang. Just like a purple or orange works only on a Mopar.

Lime gold is beautiful, I know some people don't like it but I disagree. It's a favorite of mine just because it's so uncommon...stuff like lime gold, emberglo, etc..you just don't see cars in those colors any more.

I also think the Lime Gold looks much better in a modern bc/cc. It seems to have much more depth to it and "pops" more.

My color isn't even listed in that link for 1967, makes sense why I've never seen another one.
