Diamond Blue is one of the colors that is years specific for '67's and '68's exclusively. I'm not sure as to the numbers produced with that color but I'm sure it's available. Hope that helps somewhat
anybody know somebody that knows somebody that can help on this?
You asked......................you shall receive
There were only 99 code 'N' Diamond Blue converts for 67.
Don't know your interior code but here's how it breaks down,
2A.........35 produced
2B.........60
2D.........1
4A.........1
6A.........2
As for that 2D car produced, well it was very well possible as you could order a car pretty much anyway you wanted back then and not be limited to certian interior colors that would compliment the paint. So yes, there was a Diamond Blue car ordered and built with red standard interior!
Diamond Blue was also the least ordered color in 67 at a total of 2,677 cars. There was only 1 fastback ever produced in Diamond Blue!
Beige Mist, code 'E', another rare color outdid Diamond Blue at 2,818 cars.
I hope this is what you wanted.

Yes, I got the info from Kevin Marti's book "Mustang by the Numbers".
He is the same one that offers the Marti reports for these cars.
That's something that you should get. It will give you even more info one the car and even tell you what dealer originally sold it.

Jay, I found that my DSO code shows 17 and axle 0 neither of which is in the Mustang id codes book. I'm sure the MARTI report will be more accurate as you suggested.
Car was a NJ manufactured car delivered to Maryland.....can you imagine less than one of these hit each state in 1967. WOW!!!!

The 69 convert in my avatar isn't mine. I wish it was but it isn't. It's a pic I took from an Ebay auction awhile ago. I'm hoping to find a 69 convert or Sportsroof when I finish my current car, a 68 coupe www.jasonsgarage.com . Locating a 69 will have to wait as I have all my resources (time and money ) tied up in my 68 right now. I'll keep the 68 too, I can't part with it after what I'm putting into it.

DSO 17 is Washington D.C.
This I just looked up in "The Mustang Red Book" by Peter C. Sessler. It covers Mustangs from 1965 until 1995 and is pretty complete. Between this book and the other book (Mustang by the Numbers by Kevin Marti) I used on your original question I'm able to look up and give most answers to production facts and figures. These 2 books I highly recommend getting if you're going to be looking for info like this frequently. I keep both right here next to my computer so when I find cars on eBay or other places I can decifer the codes easily.
I couldn't find a code "0" or "O" for 67 in either of those books so you didn't miss anything there. Not sure if your tag is painted over or damaged but could it possibly be a "C" or a "D" for the code instead? A "C" is a locking 3.20 and a "D" is a locking 3.25.
The other possibility is if it was special ordered with an axle ratio from another Ford/Mercury vehicle in another product line than Mustang. This is remote though, but possible, as some cars had special paint orders and even engines* that could be ordered but weren't offered on the brocures for that particular vehicle.
* In 1968, 733 Mustangs were produced with an "X" code motor that was borrowed fom the Thunderbird. The X code was a 2v 390 unlike the regular Mustang 4v 390 S code motor. The X code motor wasn't in any Mustang catalogs or brocures. A customer had to specifically ask for it to get it.

Kewl info...so 17 makes since. The car was bought in Maryland.
the "O" axle code, I checked it three times....the tag is in awesome condition and has over spray on it, but that could be from the "1" paint job since it was new.
the more I learn about this the more I like it. Btw....

I just discovered that the car was a Washington built car, august the 8th, the Diamond Blue was produced on 99 of the 67 year model (which you identified) and happen to be a color for 1968.
the "0" axle code is yet a mystery....I'll have to get more info off the axle to determine what it is.

I just discovered that the car was a Washington built car, august the 8th, ..........
Do you realize that was one of the last 67s to be produced at Metuchen? The factories would shut down the second week of August to retool for the 68 model year then start up again in late August with the 68s.
That car was produced with just days of production left!
With a car produced that close to the next model year parts specific to that cars model year may have been running thin and some may have been substituted from the coming up model year. Now why did I tell you this? Because I'm almost sure what your axle is now! There is a "O" axle code for 68 and it is a 2.50 non-locking. Your car has a 68 rear axle from the factory! I would never have guessed at looking at 68 codes until you mentioned the car was built so late in it's model year.
I would also guess you may find a few other parts that are meant for 68s also. Does your car have the rubber bag for washer fluid or does it have the plastic container they switched too in 68? I've heard of the washer containers being switched near the end of 67 production when they ran out of the bags.
Look in your decoder for the axle code of "O" in 68 and see what you think. You can also jack the car up and spin the rear wheel and count the driveshaft revolutions to get the ratio. If you start with the valve stem at the top for instance and you rotate the wheel one complete revolution by hand until the valve stem is at the top again and your driveshaft has turned 2.5 times then there's the 2.50 ratio.
