Spotted this one while browsing around. Noticed that the Marti shows Ski Pack Special, and includes pics of an Elite Marti as well. Comp orange, 351C / 4-speed to boot.

Have a great New Year!
What did the Ski Pack Special include? Was it just a regional promotion car?

Regional promo for the Denver DSO, is my understanding.
There is a smidge of info down the page a bit, here: Local Dealership Promotions
This '69 Snow Cat has been around the forums for a while, and was offered for sale last year:

I THINK that the package came with special badges, a set of snow tires, and a ski rack / luggage rack on the trunk.
Mike thanks so much for the links and information. I really like “one off” type cars. I really enjoyed reading about the Hollyberry Cougar. Thats cool. I really believe that todays car manufacturers could learn something by studying yesterdays cars.
