West Coast Ford dealers offered a Shelby-inspired California Special, available only as a coupe, in 1968. The GT/CS package consisted of a Shelby tail panel, sequential taillights, a fiberglass trunk lid with an integrated spoiler, quarter panel side scoops, front driving lights, twist hood locks, California Special quarter panel emblems, and GT/CS side striping. This 1968 Mustang is one of 4,118 California Special Coupes made and has been refinished in correct Gulf Stream Aqua (Code F), as verified by the Marti Report, with white GT/CS side striping. Features include wheel arch trim, chrome front and rear bumpers, hood-mounted turn signals, a windshield washer, reverse lights, and a chrome driver-side mirror housing.

A 120-mph speedometer and gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure are mounted in front of the driver. The 5-digit odometer shows 36K miles.

The power is provided by a Ford 289ci V8 engine currently backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. The original transmission was a 3-speed manual as verified by the Marti Report.
