@Mosesatm and I have been discussing this car this morning.

 

[speedy02]

Steering wheel appears to have some issues.

 

[speedy02]

1. Wiring under the dash is out of place.
2. Flasher hanging down and splice in wiring.
3. Emergency brake handle flipped and bracket incorrect color.
4. Miss alignment on the heater control panel.

 

[speedy02]

The hood has been replaced at some point. Notice the hood pin location not cut out correctly.

Can anyone find the issue in these photos?

Hood pin appears to not be in the right place.

 

[Mosesatm]

That vinyl top is hiding some issues, poorly.
All in all the car doesn't give me warm fuzzies.

Is the price US or Canadian?

 

[speedy02]

@stangfan, it looks like the paint may have trash in it. Look at the turn signal area, then look around the areas where the lights reflect. All areas of the car look clean, so I wouldn't think it would be water spots.

 

[Ruppstang]

I see a number of things but do not want to pick on the car. If some is actually interested in the car PM me.

 

[CougarCJ]

I'm with Marti, there is a lot going on under the hood.

 

[Ricky Knapik]

Hope they get every penny for it!

 

[speedy02]

I really really like this car. But with the price they are offering it at I may have people thinking I am picking it a part with some of my comments and that is not my intention. I do hope this car gets a new home and maybe even brought back to the states. I will be updating post later with addition pictures for anyone that maybe interested in car.

Some information I have on this car.
1. Has been in the registry since 2010
2. last sold in 2011 Mecum.
3. Built April 3 and would have been equipment with Marchal Fog Lights. Given were this car sold from I don't think it would have had the Fog light recall.
4. We now have a Marti Report on file for this car.
5. Also have the Personalized Statistics Report.
6. Car was sold from following Dealer and is one of the four we have currently reported from dealer.

Melanson Motors is proud to offer this nut and bolt restored 1968 Ford Mustang GT California Special. This is a very special car! This Mustang is the most sought after version of the 1968 GT/CS because of its factory 390-4V S-Code engine mated to the four speed transmission with Hurst shifter! It is one of only 111 produced with this combination. Of those 111 cars, this was the only one produced in Highland Green over Ivy Gold with Opaque vinyl roof. The Marti Report certifies this Mustang as a true “One of One”. Shelby body and trim enhancements give the California Special a unique visual identity among Mustangs. These enhancements include Shelby fiberglass trunk lid and quarter extensions, Shelby tail lights, pop-open gas gap, side scoops, body striping, blacked out grille, fog lamps, competition style hood locks, and “California Special” scripts. This particular car was sold June 5, 1968 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Registration history included in the paperwork shows the car spent most of the 70s in Arizona. This car had a painstakingly detailed nut and bolt restoration in Kansas City, MO, completed in 2012. In 2017, the car was evaluated and prepped for the Cobble Beach Concours D'Elegance where it was a participant in the 'American Muscle Pre 1973' Class. Summer of 2017, before the show, the car was inspected front to back and every incorrect part, fastener, clamp, sticker and tag was corrected. The car has remained in single ownership since 2012 and sits in a climate controlled building among other classics. It is driven a few times each year and has 3730 total restored miles.
This Mustang has a desirable list of options which include power steering, power brakes, bucket seats with console, GT Equipment group, AM radio, deluxe belts, front and rear bumper guards and wheel lip moldings. It is presented in its original Highland Green color. The body is laser straight and the paint has been wet sanded and polished to perfection. The Ivy Gold interior presents in excellent condition. The engine bay is very clean and has every sticker, tag and clamp you would expect to see on a brand new Mustang in 1968. The floors and undercarriage are perfect and are just as clean as the top side! They are coated in red oxide primer just as a 1968 Mustang would have been from the factory. This is an excellent opportunity to purchase an original S-Code 4 Speed GT/CS. This is a stunning, collector quality Mustang and you would be hard pressed to find a nicer one anywhere!
