The 1968 Ford Mustang California Special (GT/CS) is a masterclass
in regional branding, but seeing one in Acapulco Blue takes it to a
different level of cool. This limited-edition pony car, inspired by
the Shelby prototypes, was born for the West Coast sun. The deep,
metallic blue paint captures the Pacific's depth, perfectly
accentuating the aggressive "Shelby-style" features that define the
model.
Signature Details
Aerodynamics: Integrated rear fiberglass spoiler and the iconic
side scoops.
Blackout Accents: The blacked-out grille (devoid of the galloping
horse) and unique side striping provide a sharp contrast to the
shimmering paint.
Tail Lights: It sports the wide, horizontal sequential lights
borrowed from the '65 Thunderbird.
Inside, the blue-on-blue configuration creates a seamless,
immersive cockpit. The monochromatic aesthetic feels both
sophisticated and unapologetically 1960s. Under the hood, the
matching-number 289ci V8 is tied to an automatic transmission.
This isn't just a car; it's a piece of California's golden era on
wheels.
Unless stated otherwise, mileage shown on odometer is exempt and
unknown if original.
