THE CAR

Rosie is an amazing version of the iconic Mustang convertible in the extremely rare, one-year only S code Dusk Rose.  It was ordered on 5/22/67 and built in San Jose, it was actually finished 5 days ahead of schedule, on June 8th, 1967.  It was delivered to William O. McKay Ford and then later traded to and sold by Smith-Gandy Ford to Mr. Frenchie Dore on 10/11/1967.   It had the rare Sports Sprint package.

Frenchie Dore named the car 'Rosie' and kept it until his death in January 1995.  The second owner first saw the car and Frenchie back in 1993, near their home of Seattle.  They became fast friends with Frenchie and were given the opportunity to purchase the car by Mr. Dore's estate in 1995.  

During their stewardship, Rosie underwent a complete nut and bolt restoration.  The car was repainted in it's original Dusk Rose shade.  A full rebuild of the 289 was tasked to Dick Ewing, a well known Pacific Northwest engine builder of Corvette race engines.  During this restoration, the owners added many NOS GT parts including: Styled Steel Rally Wheels, Disc Brake conversion, the Rear Valance, Fog Lights, GT Gas Cap and Dual Exhaust.

Also note that this car retains it's original convertible top and seats.

The car won many awards after the restoration and eventually has landed in the care of two other discerning caretakers.  This may be one of the finest Dusk Rose Mustangs on the planet!
