1968 California Special Mustang

The 1968 GT/CS package combined styling elements from the Shelby with the economy that Mustang was known for. It was an aesthetic package that could be ordered with any standard Mustang engine and transmission; from the 200 cid 6 cylinder to the tire smoking 428 CJ. Only available on the coupe body style, the special appointments included blacked out grille with fog lights, turn signal hood with hood locks, side stripes, faux fiberglass side scoops with GT/CS logo, fiberglass rear decklid with molded in "duck tail" spoiler, special pop-off gas cap, script emblem on rear quarter panels and fiberglass tail light panel with wide 1965 T-bird tail lights. Many of these parts, including the trunk lid, tail light panel and fog lights were the same ones used on the 1968 Shelby.

1968 High Country Special Mustang

1968 was actually the third year of the High Country Special package, although the 1966 & 1967 models were not as distinct as the 1968. The 66-67 HCS cars featured two unique elements; a brass sheild shaped badge on each front fender and one of 3 special paint colors; Columbine Blue, Timberline Green or Aspen Gold. The DSO on the door data tag will be a 6 digit number for the 66 & 67 HCS cars, indicating the special order paint color.
