Here are several of the 1968 Ford Mustang GT-CS ( California Specials) and the 1968 Ford Mustang GT High Country Specials at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration in Las Vegas. This includes the very rare 1 of 3, original owner, 428 Cobra Jet California Special Mustang which the owner reports is the very first retail R code produced in 1968. California Special Mustangs and High Country Specials could be ordered with any drivetrain from a straight six all the way up to the mighty 428 Cobra Jet. Michael Wright from Belgium and an avid Mustang enthusiastic and very active viewer of Mustang Connection, this one is for you buddy!
That R code is killer, what a special car when new and more so now. Thanks Rich
You never see Cobra Jet Cal Specials this thing is rare, rare, rare.
wow awesome mustangs on display … I love the big block stangs & the CS ...I only got a little 289 Winsor 4 v block in this 66... only mod in mine is after market tacho & a set of headers ...stock down to the goodyear pollyglass
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.
Stunningly beautiful car,&to own the very first one? wow,Mega $$$!!!!
i love 67/ 68 coupes
My favorite Ford Mustang is the notchback and grande models because they are more affordable than the fastback Mustangs
That blue one with the 428 is a bad a.. car! Bet it hauls a..!!!
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!
those were awesome straight stangs, we have one that comes here but its not in great shape ill try an capture it again if i see it
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.
The R code Cal Special was restored by a guy in a little shop in Lehi Utah
They did a heck of a job, that was\is a nice car.
I'm always intrigued with your knowledge of mustangs. Great detail to videos Rich. Always learning something when I watch your videos.
Thanks Billy, I hope I can keep them entertaining.
awesome cars rust free California cars boy to live there even now these cars look like they just came out of the showroom glad I found your website awesome no baloney just the facts
Thanks James, glad you are liking the videos.
Bet you haven't seen a high country with a center console, guy in Pennsylvania has a red one with the only center console in it
Anyone know where the owner is now?
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.
And yes they did do a few with 390's. 150 or so of them
I have one with a 390 and owned it for 40 years!
