Bob ,the shocks are the same as used on 68.The color was blue. If it was a 4 speed GT500 the rear shocks were the non adjusable Ford Mustang shocks painted black. That was due to the staggerd shocks on a 4 speed GT500.  The Ford engine dark blue is a very close match on the 68/69 blue ones. It wasn't until the end of March 69 that the engineering number changed to a C9ZX and also the color changed to white. If you can't find any I have a set of originals (autos or 4 speed) . You can PM me by clicking on my name.
