Drag Pack availability
by Mike Bellaire
Mr. F, I was reading one of your previous posts:
>>>
However, while the dealer's first set of pricing/ordering instructions (9-27-68) did mention the 428CJ's Ram-air option, its interesting to note there was no mention of either the "Drag Pack" or the separately available "shaker" scoops. In fact, those two options weren't officially "priced" until the 2-1-69 mailing. Based on this paperwork, then, its at least arguable whether those features were offered before February.

...and thought I'd throw in a tidbit of information. I have a Ford memo, dated August 7, 1968 entitled "Late 1969 Model Regular Production Options". Listed under Fairlane and Mustang is this entry:
Car Line Option - Traction Lok Axle Ratios 3.91 and 4.30 with all 428-4V engines
Build Date - 10/1/68
Available at New Model Introduction - No
Remarks - Excessive engine oil temperatures and poor engine durability necessitate release of engine oil coolers and revisions to certain engine components. It appears likely that it will be the middle of October before dealers will obtain Mustangs and Fairlanes with 428-4V engines and 3.91 or 4.30 axle ratios although this date could be improved.
