This very rare CLASSIC 1968 California Special Mustang is one of 4,118 made. There were 251 that went to CO as High Country Specials and of the 3,867 made for CA, 148 were 200-1V engines, 101 had 3 speed manual transmissions and 48 were listed on the CA Special Registery list. This was my first car in 1972 and I am the 2nd owner. Great on the finances as you get good mileage with that one tank of gas! This is a great car and in decent shape for being 47 years old! In the late 70's it was involved in a rear end collision but all damage was repaired as soon as possible, which included a new radiator, hood and the bumper re-chromed. This is why there is a different grille on the front as the original one didn't have the space for a mustang emblem. In 1982 I had the white vinyl roof taken off & it repainted a Lipstick Red with Black stripes & a clear coat from the original color of Candy Apple Red with White stripes. The upholstery & carpet were replaced but was ruined from the CA sun so it needs to be replaced. Around 1990 I quit driving it daily and into the garage it went. Original engine was restored in 2009 with less than 550 miles put on it since then. When relocating from CA to MO in late 2009, it was transported by truck. Has not been on the road at all in the snow. Rarely drive it except for State inspections to renew the tags once a year. Dashboard replaced 3 years ago, battery replaced recently while being serviced & for state inspection. Needs upholstery, carpet, plus a paint job then you'll have a car ready to enjoy and show off even! This car is a unique conversation piece and draws attention everywhere it goes! It might double in value! Marti report available.This car is a vintage classic, so please, sale is for serious buyers who appreciate the value of this RARE car. It's described to the best of my ability and is being sold as is. It will be up to buyer to arrange transportation after full payment has cleared my credit union.
