In mid-February 1968, the California Ford dealers began to market a factory-built, limited-edition Mustang, called the GT/CS, or "California Special". The hope was for a targeted production run of 5,000, but actually, 4118 were made, which included 251 units that were re-marketed in Denver, Colorado, as "High Country Special '68". Production ran for only 5.5 months from mid-February 1968 to early August 1968. Shelby Automotive, now part of Ford, was assigned the task of designing and engineering the necessary parts and assembly procedures for the GT/CS. This was done right alongside the development of their 1968 Shelby. The completed fiberglass parts for the GT/CS included the rear decklid, end caps, taillight panel, and side scoops like the ones on this Mustang. The GT/CS has become one of the most appreciated classic Mustangs, since it has both the qualities of a Shelby GT and a Mustang coupe. Its uniqueness, and rarity draws a lot of attention on the road and at car shows. It's got a 351 Windsor High Performance power-plant, Automatic transmission, Power steering, Power brakes and brand-new ice-cold Air conditioning. Following is the extensive list of restored components: Hoses, Headers, Rebuilt Holley carb, Radiator, New battery, Headliner, Door panels, Carpet, Window felt, Trunk rubber, Dash bezels, Chrome door handles, Shelby rear end/trunk assembly, Shelby taillights, Shelby scoops, Spoiler, GT hood, GT wheels, CS graphics, New upholstery, New tires, New master cylinder, New main brake lines, New wheel cylinders, New gas tank, New brake shoes, New a/c compressor, New fuel pump, New Cobra valve covers and Rebuilt steering pump. The first (and most common) question we get on Mustangs is; "Is there any rust on it". No, there is no rust. It fires right up and runs great. It's in great mechanical condition and ready to drive. It is NOT a rotisserie restoration in perfect condition. If you're looking for a $100,000 car, this isn't it. Even though the list of restored items is extensive, it's a 44 year old car and it's far from perfect. It's a really, really nice driver, not a museum piece. You can keep it like it is or you can call it a great head-start on a complete restoration. If you're familiar with classic cars, you'll know what I'm talking about. If you haven't owned a classic car, please feel free to call us and we'll answer any questions you might have. If you aren’t local, we can ship it anywhere in the country for you.
