Out of 317000 Mustangs produced in the year 1968, Ford only produced 4118 California Specials and I've got one of them. This car is amazing in every way. Runs and drives like a newer car. The factory installed A/C works and blows cold.Nov 17, 2014

This is one of the first cars I ever owned. I had a coupe as a kid and when this one came available I jumped on it. There are not too many people wanting to start a on a project car these days. I knew that this one would be worth every penny. I am also doing as much of the work as possible with my sons. We recently purchased a 67 coupe as well and my older son will work on that one during the day when he is not in school. I can wait to see them finished. Jul 17, 2012

Car get 18mpg in the city and 24 on highway. its a boss 302 with domed pistons
going into 289heads with an isky cam/springs and lifters. 4brl 650 carb. lots of
horse power. Many repairs have been done, engine rebuild, shock tower, suspension all around, wiring harness.
Its a very nice looking car, charcole in colour. with all the vibe from the 60's.
Parts are generally expensive for the car.
The car is very fun to drive if you like making lots of noise and burning rubber.May 01, 2012

As any review is subjective I'll try to curb my bias. When it comes to
performance it will leave you wanting for more in all categories. It is still
more exciting to drive than a modern econobox probably due to the sense
of raw communication with what is going on around you. It is a semi-
reliable vehicle with a slew of aftermarket parts to keep the cost of
ownership down. Having a vehicle with a production number just over
4,000 you're almost guaranteed to be the only one around with one.Jan 26, 2012

Excellent cruising car, car shows, go for ice cream with the family even if it's an hour away. Excellent reliability. Very easy to do maintenance work on, Lots of leg room in the front seats, because it's a GT it has extra sway bars and stiffer springs so it has great handling and with disc brakes it stops great also.Aug 26, 2011

I call this car my Old Junker since I built it out of parts I had laying around, yes
including the 460 LOL !! The paint job was a weekend quickie and is 20 years old
but looks OK considering I have race the car that 20 years.

gas mileage sucks, but its completely worth it
we've paid way too much for it though

This is my daily drive, and I love it. It sucks petrol but the fact that it is so old means I can justify it from an environmental point of view. Watch out when it's raining it can be a bit dangerous in the wet!Nov 01, 2010

Well I don't exactly drive it, but I do own one. It is in pieces waiting on a restoration. And when I say pieces I mean my engine is wrapped in shrink wrap still from the machine shop and sitting underneath a desk in my den, my seats are also in the den. But when I did drive it, it was fantastic. When I die, I hope they prop me behind the steering wheel and bury me in the ground in it. Hopefully one day I will be able to give you a full review on how this car is when its back on the roadMay 18, 2010

It's been sitting in the shed for 13-ish years before we did anything with it so needless to say it needs more maintenance. It has a rebuilt carburator, new brakes, new clutch, new fuel pump. Otherwise it just needs body work.Jun 29, 2008

Great car, still needs a little work, but I'm getting it done a little at a time. I hope to have it looking truly awesome once I can afford to finish the little bit of body work it needs and get a fresh paint job on it.Apr 29, 2008

1968 Mustang GT/California Special. 1 of only 4000 built, only made in 1968, only sold in CA. .030 overbored 302 built to Shelby specs, built C-4 tranny, Shelby fiberglass bady panels. Not the fastest thing on the streets, but since it's rare you hardly ever come across another on the road. Mar 14, 2008

A competely original 289 2-barrel car with PS and PB, my Dad and I did the bodywork in the driveway and painted it at his shop on Mavis Road. I drove it from Hell to High Water and back a couple of times, it started in any weather and in spite of having no weight in the back end it performed completely undramatically in the snow. I drove it to school, work and Peterborough on weekends. I put the mandatory Thrush header mufflers when the stock exhaust pretty much fell off it, and aside from a blown power steering hose and a positive wire grounding out against the rad cradle never had a moment of grief with the car. I miss it, but not as much as my 70 convertible!Jan 09, 2008

I bought my 1968 Mustang fastback, as a project car to do a complete restoration on. It was sitting in the bush for the past 21 years, going to waste. The car is originally an arizona car so the body is amaizing, but the floors are gone from sitting in the bushes. Someone had also robbed the engine, tranny, and some of the trim. Jan 04, 2008
