Any '68 experts out there know if there was ever a Dust Rose fastback built?

Would be interesting to see the Marti Report on this one in regards to the paint color.

Apparently they produced the color in 1967. Here's some info.

Dusk Rose was a Standard Ford Mustang color, but only used in small amounts for a very short time (about 6 months). Mustangs that bear this color can be recognized by the 'S' color code on the Vehicle Data Plate, attached to the door. If you have a '67 Mustang in a slightly different color, but with the 'S' code, it probably began its life as a pink one. The color got it's name 'Dusk Rose' from a '57 Ford Thunderbird color code with the same name. It is not certain (yet) that these two colors are in fact the same. Nobody ever checked, Ford used a number of different pinks throughout the fifties and sixties and the legendary 'Playboy Pink' or 'Playmate Pink', for example, is slightly darker than 'Dusk Rose' and appears to be based on a 50's Lincoln color.

Dusk Rose (pink) is a long way from the one they say is Dust Rose (purple)

There was a dusk rose 67 Fastback that I saw in both Johnson City and Sturbridge. It was not the color pictured in the link.

If the paint section on door data plate is blank,it could be a Special order paint car,I had a special order 65 Mustang that came from factory in Diamond Blue.Marti report should confirm it although it sometimes does not say the color but it specifies Special paint.
