1968 Visibilty Group - Remote Mirror - A/C without Tinted Glass
« on: January 16, 2022, 02:49:57 AM »
I have had a few questions about my 12/67 Dearborn GT Fastback and a recently acquired salesman price sheet dated 9/22/67 helped solve them. i.e. Clear Windows with A/C. The prices listed match my window sticker (original) perfectly. I've seen a few threads that might be resolved by the information below.

Visibility Group - (including Left hand Remote Control Mirror, Under-hood Light, Luggage Compartment Lights, Glove Box Light, and Glove Box Lock; Hardtop Models also incl. Under-dash Courtesy Light)  $24.01

Remote Control Left Hand Mirror $9.58           a separate option from the VG

Air Conditioner - SelectAire (Tinted Glass recommended)   $360.30

It also lists the Unicorn 390HP 427 for $622.97

I'll work on posting a PDF copy.

The 427 was not offered except in the Cougar in 1968. No Mustang or Shelby Mustang received a factory installed 427. Shelby did sell some to customers, but those were Shelby installations, not at the factory. Certain dealers offered the 427 as well - but despite the order sheet, none were ever built.


You could special order a lot of things that normally Ford would not build, like a red car with blue interior. If someone ordered an air conditioned car without tinted glass that would be pretty weird too.

Have you ordered a Marti Report? That will tell you everything the car left the factory with vs. what may have been added by previous owners in the past.

Wonder if prices ever changed during the year the car were available. Guess that would be a project checking and comparing original window stickers across the production year. Not unusual for salesmen to get updates through out the year
