California Special

[NorwegianMustang]

I saw one last night when I drove closed a car shop at work. Poor pony was burried in snow, but I saw the side scoops and the tail lights (same as Elanor in gone in 60 sec.). It is white with blue stripes and manual. Interrior is black and looked in pretty good shape (at least what I manage to see from the fence). It also has 4 tail pipes and I think it got the rally wheels (not sure).


What is so special with the California Special? Gonna go there on Monday and check it out and ask what he want for it.

and I was wrong, there were only 251 High Country Specials produced in 68, trying to find correct numbers on California Specials.

YUP! I got pics, my cousin bought a a California Special from a little old lady for I think 8 grand. He did a few touch ups to it and it's looking gorgeous.

Wow old pics, there's my Jessica in the back :p Sweet License plate on the Cali Special huh?

Last time he came over with that car to have Thanksgiving dinner this guy came over and knocked on the door asking about the Cali Special. He said when he was a kid he only saw 1 Cali Special in his entire life back when he was living in New Orleans. So this was a huge treat for him to see it here today.

i can see the potential but (no offence) its just not my style with out after market. i am not to fond of the wheels and lift kit.. but none the less it is a sharp car

[SpectorV]

yea its rather ugly but it can be improved upon, but not with out losing its value as a collector

[bluemustang]

Werd not that bad of a car. Def differ wheels. But If I had that car, value or not id be pimp

[NorwegianMustang]

The paint looked flawless from where I was standing, will check it out tomorrow. Got a few pictures of it.

[MonteCitan]

buy it and put it on ebay.. state '1 of 250 made' and you'll get some uber high bids

[NorwegianMustang]

How do I check the build number?

Here are some pictures of it

classic stangs own all (but 64-66 looks better than 67-73)

a classic like the cali specials arent something you mod or anything. its something kept and mantained in your family and stays there for a long, loooooong time and passed down.

*Update*


Oh boy, where to start

#1 It's not for sale, but he might call me
#2 Rust, under the car wasn't looking good
#3 Needs to be repainted
#4 Need new leather for the seats
#5 Carpet was less than okey
#6 The small windows have been open for how know how long and it's been moister than usual here
#7 He didn't know of a price, but he said "I think about $10,000 maybe"
#8 I'm tired
