    Man, talk about rare. I've never even HEARD-OF a GT/CS R-code. More rare than a 1969 CJ ragtop.

      John, One of the coolest things about the Mustang brand in general is the sheer wide variety of options and configurations. Almost limitless and hence the "one of one" scenarios for some of these mass produced cars. Be safe and be Well.

      These are the best of the best as far as California Specials go....the 428 Cobra jet is a serious machine. Thanks for watching Kenny.

    Nice Stangs. I always liked those steel wheels.I had a set of them on my 64 Comet Caliente back in the day.

      George, These wheels seemed to have been the FoMoCo staple performance wheel for 68-9 both in argent painted and full chrome. They were also a popular retrofit and look great on early Comets and Falcons too. Have a great weekend!

    The R code Cal Special was restored by a guy in a little shop in Lehi Utah

    My favorite Ford Mustang is the notchback and grande models because they are more affordable than the fastback Mustangs

    All these should be 427 4 barrel and all were 4 speed transmissions. If you see one with a 390? It's a clone I'd a made up fake. FORD motor Archives buldsheets document all were 427 cranking out re h.p. 433 & 540 ft lbs toque

      ?????????????? Ford never built a factory 427 Mustang....EVER. All High Country and California Specials could be ordered with any engine combination including 6 cylinders. Ford never had a production 427 Mustang.

      MustangConnection1 Well, they had 1 Factory 67’ 427 GT500 but yeah, I have no idea what this guy is rambling about.
