*SOLD*Congrats to the new owners, this early car is returning "home" to Arizona!! Wheels and tires still available so I've kept that info in my ad: I'm (regretfully) selling my 1968 Mustang California Special, one of the first 200 built on the first regular day of production (Feb. 15...

Early GT/CS Car's serial number is only about 110 later than mine, built together in the first big batch. Great story and great then-and-now pictures! Kevin

still think it's real The part that is highlighted in your photo pulled from the ad isn't the section that shows whether it's true GT/CS or not. California Special is normally listed in the options section below there. The seller has a Deluxe Marti report and took a picture of it for the ad...

Same car advertised locally Showing on the Canadian kijiji site: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/red-deer/1968-ford-mustang-california-special-documented/1084094656

Maybe I'm missing something, but I only see the Ford 999 report. And it doesn't say anything about "California Special," unlike mine ... Beautiful car, regardless. Gotta love that colour ... Kevin

I went from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Camp Verde, Arizona to pick mine up in 2000 ... can't remember the distance but it was quite an adventure! Kevin

Mine says: CAL4NIA.

That's a classic magazine ... I especially like the red car, which I remember mainly because its VIN number (if I recall correctly) is immediately before mine (C142408). It's also one of the cars pictured on the back of Paul's 1988 book. Anyone know that car's whereabouts (or the other cars in...

Seperate decals, please. Let's celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original. Kevin

My air-conditioned GT/CS had the option in the console. Sadly, the console was stolen from the car in the 1970s — but the wiring and bulbs were left intact. The replacement console did not have the lights. The last owner gathered up three of the four "buttons" and they came in a box with other...

Several got away ... I had a fair share of cool Mustangs get away in the 1980s and 1990s ... I remember looking at a '69 GT Sportsroof with a 390 in 1986. I think they wanted $3,500 Canadian for it, and I thought I'd better pass because I was going to college in the fall (and already had to...

Sara, What about "CAL4NIA"? That's what I got for my GT/CS when I brought it to Alberta from Arizona five years ago. BTW, I have the original black California plate on front, so I guess I have the best of both worlds. Kevin

Dig the sunroof, shackles and groovy decklid paint! javascript:replaceText('%20:-X') No front end shot, so can't tell if it has fogs. Looks like it's missing a hood lock to go along with the missing end cap. BTW, that ugly attenna is the same as on mine, too. Kevin :-X

Found another wheel cover just like it, on a '68 HCS for sale online. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4515160695&category=6236

That's EXACTLY like mine ... I thought maybe it was a '70s or '80s add-on. BTW, I didn't know I had a deluxe steering wheel (in a black standard interior) until days after I bought my car. I just assumed it was a standard black wheel under that cover ... Kevin
