1968 GT/CS Mustang in search of someone with LOTS of time to restore!

If you've got the heart to tackle it, this California Special could be a great little diamond in the rough with your name on it! This Classic Mustang almost looks restorable until you see the shot of the rear of the body....because there's nothing left! It was either hacked off by a maniac with a torch and chainsaw, or just rusted away to literally nothing. Wow, that's a big restoration bite to chew.

It's got a 289 C-code, C4 automatic, Power Steering, factory Air Conditioning, AM Radio, Tinted Glass, etc. It's Meadowlark Yellow, which isn't the most popular color, but not the worst either. Nicely optioned and of course worth something as it's a limited edition 1968 California Special Mustang. How much it's worth is another question. If it was a big block car it would be worth considering, but with just a plane jane 289-2bbl there's just too much work to justify saving this one.

Not looking terrible from this angle. Still not too bad. Just lots of stuff to bolt back on. Hmmm...door has been replaced, which means data plate is missing. YIKES! What happened here!?? Ohhh....that's just so sad to see. Nice extra California Special fiberglass deck lid. Too bad there's no rear end to bolt them to! At least most of the hard to find GT/CS parts are there. All sorts of extra parts...even more then you need!

The Gold Nugget was a promotional package for the 1968 Mustang and featured special paint (Sunlit Gold) with a black vinyl roof, black-out hood and black striping. Read more about the Golden Nugget Specials

This example appears to be pretty well stripped, but maybe not a lost cause completely. The doors, interior, front fenders, hood and glass all apparently migrated somewhere else. Maybe they're tucked away in the barn shown in the photos!

It could be a fun project if someone with the right vision finds her...and if she's not rusted out too badly.
