As many of you know know the California Special is also known as:" The poor Man Shelby" Does anybody know who came up with that term?

I know that our Transportation Design class at Art Center College of Design was using that term when the GT/CS came on the market in 68. I don't know who originally "coined" the term.

I thought his tag line " I don't get no respect "? Maybe he was talking about the GT/CS vs. Shelby...
