Here is what Virgil wrote me back.
P.S. I put in a good word for Jason that if he wants to sell the car if it turns out to be a Bluebonnet let me know as I know someone interested in purchasing a Bluebonnet.

Yeah, I read that article. That's where I found the "Bluebonnet Special" in the first place. The car I am talking about was (I'm pretty sure) painted that same color blue originally. It was also for sure a special order car. It is a 1967, has a DSO of 61 but is followed by 5036 instead of 5160. I got a VIN report from Marti Auto Works and the option list is very similar to the car featured in the Mustang Monthly article, (Sports Sprint, F70-14 Wide Oval Tires, 3- speed transmission, Rocker Panel Moulding, AM Radio, Tinted Glass, Wheel Covers). I called Vic Lea (one of the guys mentioned in the
article) and he said the car could very well be a bluebonnet special and he would try to determine without a doubt with a source he has in Detroit. At any rate, if it turns out to be a bluebonnet special, I plan to restore it to like new status, if not, I plan to make a resto-mod out of it. We'll see. Thanks for your help!
