Why this Mustang matters In 1967 Ford’s Denver Sales District cooked up the Ski Country Special —a regional, winter-ready package offered through Colorado-area dealers. Period ads pitched snow-country equipment and punchy colors named after local resorts. Built in small numbers and sold for a short window, genuine SCS Mustangs have become cult favorites among Blue Oval fans. GreenLight’s edition tips its hat to that mountain-town magic—retro badge, snow-state attitude, and all. What the Ski Country Special was In late 1966 the Ford Denver Sales District created a winter-market promotion for 1967 vehicles called the Ski Country Special. It was a dealer package aimed at Colorado and mountain-state buyers who skied and needed real winter hardware. It showed up most famously on the 1967 Mustang but the district offered it across other Ford lines as well. Core equipment and appearance The package combined winter gear and unique appearance bits: a roof- or rear-mounted ski rack, limited-slip rear axle, special medallions and window decals, and two snow tires supplied with the car. Period literature and surviving cars also show the five Ski Country colors named after Colorado resorts and passes. Ski Country colors for 1967 Vail Blue. Loveland Green. Breckenridge Yellow. Aspen Red. Winter Park Turquoise. These color names were unique to the Denver program and were not regular national Ford colors for 1967. Models offered and rarity The Denver district promoted Ski Country Specials on Mustangs and also on Galaxies, Fairlanes and Broncos. Exact production records were not kept, but contemporary research places the total at roughly 400 cars, which is why originals are considered extremely scarce today. How it relates to the High Country Special Ford’s Denver office also ran the High Country Special in 1966 through 1968. High Country was primarily a special-paint Mustang with district ID, while Ski Country was a winter-equipment package with its own color set and badging. Collectors often confuse the two. Why 1967 matters in Ford context Model year 1967 was the start of Detroit’s option-package boom. Regional sales offices were green-lit to do localized specials to move metal against new rivals like Camaro and Firebird. Denver’s Ski Country and High Country programs are textbook examples of this strategy. Listing-ready history blurb you can paste Inspired by a real 1967 Ford dealer program from the Denver Sales District, the Ski Country Special combined unique Colorado resort colors with true winter hardware. Buyers received a ski rack, limited-slip rear axle, window decals and snow tires, and the cars wore names like Vail Blue, Loveland Green, Breckenridge Yellow, Aspen Red and Winter Park Turquoise. Ford offered the package on the 1967 Mustang and other lines in the Denver region, with approximately 400 produced, which makes original cars very hard to find and a favorite story among Mustang and Ford historians.
