As a tribute to the 1968 California Special, Ford added a limited production factory GT/California Special in 2007.
The GT/CS is based on a Mustang GT with a 4.6 liter engine. The GT/CS option adds 2 tone seats (Dove or Parchment inserts),
unique floor mats, side stripes (with GT/CS behind the front wheel RH and LH), side scoops (behind doors),
18" polished aluminum wheels, rolled exhaust tips, faux gas cap (with words "California Special"),
lowered front bumper/valance and unique rear bumper. The GT/CS was available as a coupe or convertible,
with manual or automatic transmission. |

In mid-February 1968, the California Ford Dealers (Ford Dealer Advertising Fund) 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;
however, only 4118 were made, including 251 units that were remarketed in Denver, Colorado,
as "High Country Special '68". Production ran for only 5.5 months from mid-February 1968 to early August 1968.
Today, classic car collectors consider these cars to be very desirable. |
