Hey Folks,
I looked at this car before I bought the other one from Gas Town. It was a quick drive up the highway from where I live, so it was worth a look.
I asked the same question about why it's in the registry and apparently Clones use to be allowed in the registry.
I must say that the car is very nice, it runs and looks very nice and someone has spent a pile of money on it. In my opinion the colour isn't quite Highland Green, but I am not sure if that's what the restorer was after. As already discussed it's a 302 with a 4 barrel.
I was very serious about purchasing the car, but the seller couldn't tell me 100 % that it was a GT/CS. I went home and paid for the Marti report. Much to my dismay I found out through the report that it is simply 68 Mustang. The build date does fall within the correct build date for a GT/CS but it is not a California special according to the report.
That all being said, it's a beautiful car in very good condition. I still considered buying it, but then my Ivy/gold came along which I purchased from the same seller. I must say that he was very good to deal with and went out of his way to help me with the purchase.
Sincerely
