COMMISSIONED BY A GROUP OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FORD DEALERS, THE 1968 GT CALIFORNIA SPECIAL (GT/CS) HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST RARE & DESIRABLE MUSTANGS OF IT'S ERA.
ONLY 4118 OF THESE LIMITED-EDITION CLASSICS WERE BUILT, MAINLY FOR SALE IN THE GOLDEN STATE. MANY OF IT'S CUES WERE TAKEN FROM THE SHELBY AND INNOCENT OWNERS WERE OFTEN ACCUSED OF TRYING TO CREATE A FAKE SHELBY.
THE STRIKING TAIL SECTION IS COMPROMISED OF A FIBERGLASS TRUNK LID WITH AN INTEGRAL SPOILER, 1965 THUNDERBIRD TAIL LIGHTS AND A SPECIAL POP-OFF GAS CAP.
DISTINCTIVE BLACKED-OUT FRONT GRILL GIVES A CLEAN, UNCLUTTERED APPEARANCE. FACTORY FOG LIGHTS. COMPETITION STYLE HOOD LOCKS.
PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT HIGH PERFORMANCE 302 V8 ENGINE WITH 4 BARREL CARBURETOR.
"W" CODE C-4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.
UNIQUE GT/CS BODY STRIPING. FIBERGLASS SIDE SCOOPS WITH CORRECT PERFORATED METAL SCREEN AT THE INLET. BLACK VINYL TOP.
BF GOODRICH RADIAL TA's ON ORIGINAL WHEELS.
POWER DISC BRAKES & POWER STEERING.
DELUXE TILT STEERING WHEEL. CENTER CONSOLE.
COMPLETELY REBUILT SUSPENSION INCLUDING SHOCKS, BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS. NEW PERFORMANCE DUAL EXHAUST. 2.79:1 CONVENTIONAL AXLE RATIO.
REFINISHED IN IT'S ORIGINAL "LIME GOLD" EXTERIOR. INTERIOR IS ALL ORIGINAL. RUNS, SOUNDS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. EXTREMELY DEPENDABLE & RELIABLE.
NEVER BEEN WRECKED. RUST, OTHER THAN THE NORMAL SURFACE UNDERCARRIAGE VARIETY, IS NOT AN ISSUE. LOOK AT THE ADDITIONAL PICTURES BELOW. OVERALL, THIS CLASSIC IS IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. IN THE EARLY 1970's THE ORIGINAL ENGINE & TRANSMISSION WERE STOLEN FROM THIS CAR. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE INSURANCE COMPANY WROTE IT OFF AS "TOTALED", RESULTING IN A SALVAGED TITLE. AN INSIGNIFICANT DETAIL AT A GREAT PRICE!
