When Ford introduced the Ford Mustang in 1964 and instant love
affair with the American Pony Car was born. The mustang was
smaller, lighter, and more nimble that any American manufacturer
had produced thus far. This coupled with its fresh design, the Ford
Mustang became a must have among the American public. 1967 marked a
pivotal year for the Mustang, as this was the first time since the
first generation made its debut that vast changes were made to the
Mustang. Making it larger and having many more engine options than
before. It also eliminated some things that did not make sense.
1968 was just the same and by this point, Ford had found the next
best thing and had very little for competition comparatively. In
mid-February 1968, the California Ford Dealers (Ford Dealer
Advertising Fund) began to market a factory-built, limited-edition
Mustang, called the GT/CS, or "California Special". The hope was
for a targeted production run of 5,000; however, only 4118 were
made, including 251 units that were remarketed in Denver, Colorado,
as "High Country Special '68". Production ran for only 5.5 months
from mid-February 1968 to early August 1968.
