Vehicle Description
The 1967 Ford Mustang California Special tribute delivers the look
of one of the rarest and sportiest first-gen pony cars around. And
with a powerful V8, five-speed, and a comfy interior, this is the
kind of distinct classic that's a blast to drive.
The Shelby-like appearance of the California Special is no
accident. This was based on the supercharged GT500 prototype coupe
that didn't see the light of day. So if the California Specials
were already replicas, then the only thing you lose on a well-done
tribute is the big price. There's a nice shine from the Maroon
paint, and it has plenty of metallic element to radiate in the
sunlight. So it looks good without making you too nervous to drive
this coupe. After all, tribute cars are built for drivers. All the
correct California Special elements are still present, including
the blacked-out grille, fog lamps, Shelby-style rear scoops, and
fiberglass tail with built-in spoiler. Plus, with the right GT/CS
stripes run down its flanks, "deluxe hood w/turn signals, and the
1965 Thunderbird taillights, this truly distinctive from every
angle.
The black stripes of the exterior get you ready for the full black
interior. Refinished seats, good carpeting, a smooth dash, and more
give you good fundamentals. This is also built with added comfort
in mind. That's why you have an armrest center console with cup
holders, and the stereo has been upgraded to an AM/FM/CD unit with
Bluetooth. There's even an under-dash air conditioning system (it
will need servicing to blow cold again.) The driver gets the great
updated round gauge package that came on later versions of the
first-gen Mustangs, and ahead of that is a grippy classic steering
wheel. And have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter yet?
Under the hood is Ford's mighty 302 cubic-inch V8. It's been
upgraded with a full Edelbrock suite that includes the four-barrel
carburetor, intake, and finned valve covers. It fires up nicely as
headers add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. The upgrade to a
five-speed manual transmission really lest you take full advantage
of this upgraded powerhouse. And while a car like this was made to
let you feel the road, there are also the right driver's features,
like front disc brakes and wide Cooper Cobra tires on those
polished REV wheels.
This gets the look of a rare pony car right, and it gets the power
of a driver's machine right, too. That's why you're going to love
this CS tribute. Call today!!!
