Up for sale is a 68 Ford Mustang California Special. It was originally a 289, not sure whats in it now or if its the original motor, but its built and sounds really good. I generally have Chevy's but couldn't pass up this nice car. Its been painted for a few years but still looks really good. We recently purchased this car with a collection of cars from a guy in Arkansas so its a good and solid southern car. The interior looks to be all original. It isn't perfect but looks good overall. Some trim could be replaced to make it perfect. Most of the outside trim is in good shape, the door handles are pitted. Its a good solid car. It isn't a perfect show car but makes a really sharp driver, collector, or local car show material. Check out the information below. What made the 1968 California Special more significant then any other limited edition Mustang to date was the extent of the factory modifications. Borrowing from Shelby parts, the entire look of the car was changed making it into something immediately recognizable as a special Mustang. The front end featured factory fog lights set in a blacked out grille. The fogs were originally Marchals and then Lucas after a CA recall. The hood featured integral turn signals and factory twist style hood locks, the same as used on the 1968 Shelby. Starting at the front headlight buckets a unique triple side stripe ran down the length of the car, terminating just past the simulated side scoops. On the scoops, cut into the tape stripe was the GT/CS insignia. These scoops are very similar to the Shelby models, but unique to the GT/CS because they were non-functional. Continuing past the stripes to the rear quarter panels you find "California Special" in a chrome trim script font. The tail end is where the Shelby influence is unmistakable. The fiberglass trunk lid has an integral "duck tail" spoiler with matching fiberglass quarter panel extensions. These are direct Shelby part numbers. As are the wide, horizontal taillights and fiberglass taillight panel. Although many think so, these wide tail lights are not sequential like you would find on Cougars or T-birds. On the deck lid is the "Mustang" script typically found on standard Mustang front fenders. The tape stripe continues along the rear edge of the trunk spoiler and turns down the quarter panel extensions. Topping everything off is a unique pop-off gas cap with the running horse in the center. Curtis 618-697-7562 curtsclassics@gmail.com Vehicles are sold as is.
