Several specialty Mustangs were sold by
Ford during 1968, the most significant variant being the California
Special. The GT/CS was a hard top trim package featuring a combination
of Shelby and GT Mustang styling features. The most obvious feature was
the Shelby rear deck lid with integral spoiler. Also of note were the
sequential taillights and the non functional Shelby side scoops. |
Other cosmetic touches
included a blacked out grill, minus the usual mustang emblem, fitted
with rectangular Lucas or Marchal foglamps and a distinctive side stripe
running from the front fender to the side scoop. Equipped with GT styled
steel wheels, the GT/CS could be purchased with any regular production
engine. Built primarily for the California market, only 4025 GT/CS
Mustangs were ever produced.
This GT/CS was purchased in August 2005 from Sidney Smith of Vegreville
Alberta. |
