Vehicle Description
1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS "California Special" for sale. Motorcar
Classics is proud to present this rare limited-edition 1968 Mustang
California Special. It is one of 4,118 built and is featured in
Highland Green with Black interior and White stripes. Shelby
Automotive, part of Ford in 1968, was assigned the task of
designing and engineering the necessary parts and assembly
procedures for the limited-edition GT/CS. This was done right
alongside the development of their 1968 Shelby. The fiberglass
parts were crafted at A.O. Smith, in Ionia, Michigan, in steel
molds. The fiberglass parts for the GT/CS included: the rear
decklid and end caps, taillight panel, and side scoops. The Mustang
GT/CS features included: Marchal or Lucas Fog Lights, twist-type
DZUS hood pins, side scoops, pop-open gas cap, rear spoiler decklid
with end caps, and taillight panel with 1965 Thunderbird taillights
(non sequential). Side stripes with the "GT/CS" die-cut logo, along
with a rear decklid stripe were also included. Like most of the
GT/CS models, our car is powered by Fords 302CI V8 with the C4
automatic transmission. It has power steering and power front disc
brakes. Our GT/CS has been the subject of a complete nut amp; bolt
restoration to a very high standard. The engine compartment and
undercarriage were thoroughly detailed. The odometer shows 82,362
miles, but the car looks and drives as new. With its
Shelby-inspired design and components, the GT/CS is a particularly
collectible Mustang coupe. This is the nicest one we have seen.
