Melanson Motors is proud to offer this nut and bolt restored 1968
Ford Mustang GT California Special. This is a very special car!
This Mustang is the most sought after version of the 1968 GT/CS
because of its factory 390-4V S-Code engine mated to the four speed
transmission with Hurst shifter! It is one of only 111 produced
with this combination. Of those 111 cars, this was the only one
produced in Highland Green over Ivy Gold with Opaque vinyl roof.
The Marti Report certifies this Mustang as a true "One of One".
Shelby body and trim enhancements give the California Special a
unique visual identity among Mustangs. These enhancements include
Shelby fiberglass trunk lid and quarter extensions, Shelby tail
lights, pop-open gas gap, side scoops, body striping, blacked out
grille, fog lamps, competition style hood locks, and "California
Special" scripts. This particular car was sold June 5, 1968 in
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Registration history included in the
paperwork shows the car spent most of the 70s in Arizona. This car
had a painstakingly detailed nut and bolt restoration in Kansas
City, MO, completed in 2012. In 2017, the car was evaluated and
prepped for the Cobble Beach Concours D'Elegance where it was a
participant in the 'American Muscle Pre 1973' Class. Summer of
2017, before the show, the car was inspected front to back and
every incorrect part, fastener, clamp, sticker and tag was
corrected. The car has remained in single ownership since 2012 and
sits in a climate controlled building among other classics. It is
driven a few times each year and has 3730 total restored miles.
This Mustang has a desirable list of options which include power
steering, power brakes, bucket seats with console, GT Equipment
group, AM radio, deluxe belts, front and rear bumper guards and
wheel lip moldings. It is presented in its original Highland Green
color. The body is laser straight and the paint has been wet sanded
and polished to perfection. The Ivy Gold interior presents in
excellent condition. The engine bay is very clean and has every
sticker, tag and clamp you would expect to see on a brand new
Mustang in 1968. The floors and undercarriage are perfect and are
just as clean as the top side! They are coated in red oxide primer
just as a 1968 Mustang would have been from the factory. This is an
excellent opportunity to purchase an original S-Code 4 Speed GT/CS.
This is a stunning, collector quality Mustang and you would be hard
pressed to find a nicer one anywhere! For more information, call
Warren at 519-801-6431. Trades Considered!
