The High Country Special first saw the daylight in 1966 as a limited-production Mustang specifically aimed at the Colorado market, with Ford making just 333 units for the first model year.
The production was then increased to 400 units for 1967, while in 1968, the American carmaker dropped the output of the High Country Special to just 251 cars, with the package now including sequential taillights, special side stripes and no Mustang emblem in the grille, as well as Shelby-style rear decklid with an integrated spoiler.
Needless to say, finding one of the 251 High Country Special Mustangs isn’t necessarily easy business, yet such a model is right here in front of your eyes in a pretty rough shape.
As you can easily figure out by simply browsing the photos in the gallery, the car isn’t exactly in its best condition, and it actually looks like it’s been sitting for a while, clearly not in a heated garage.
While very little information has been provided on this Mustang, the Marti report does confirm it’s one of the 251 High Country Special.
As for the engine, this Mustang comes not just with one but with two separate V8s. eBay seller dom199970 explains that the car does sport the 289 (4.7-liter) installed by Ford and paired with an automatic transmission, but at the same time, another 289 and a C4 transmission are offered extra to whoever buys the car.
However, none seems to be running, and at least one of the V8s needs to be rebuilt.
A Mustang High Country Special is worth approximately $20,000 in a fair condition, while a model in mint condition could end up selling even for $50,000. Of course, a version in such a rough shape is a lot more affordable, and the owner of this example believes they should get at least $6,000 for the car, though the Buy It Now price has been set to $16,000.
