This 1968 Ford Mustang California Special is powered by a 289ci 2V
V-8 engine backed by a C4 SelectShift automatic transmission with a
3.00 conventional rear axle. It features power steering. The
independent front suspension uses unequal-length coil springs,
tubular shock absorbers and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension
consists of a live axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and tubular
shocks. Braking is handled by 10-inch heavy-duty drums at all four
wheels. Finished in Seafoam Green, this Mustang was restored to
factory specifications and features a fiberglass decklid with an
integrated ducktail spoiler, quarter panel extensions and
non-sequential 1965 Thunderbird taillights. The side profile
incorporates non-functional fiberglass side scoops with GT/CS
insignias, mid-body side stripes and chrome California Special rear
fender script. Exterior equipment includes a blackout grille,
rectangular fog lamps, a louvered hood with integrated turn signal
indicators, quarter-turn hood pins, 14-inch GT-style wheels and
F70x14 Wide Oval white sidewall nylon tires. The Ivy Gold vinyl
interior features standard bucket seats, an AM radio, tinted glass,
Deluxe seat belts and Deluxe wheel covers. According to the Deluxe
Marti Report, the California Special was ordered through the San
Jose District Sales Office and sold through Charles Reid Ford in
Lincoln, Nebraska. The Deluxe Marti Report lists 4,118 1968 Mustang
two-door hardtops with the California Special equipment and is
