I had a California Special... Acapulco Blue with a white vinyl top, turquoise interior. LOVED that car. Had to sell it to pay for the divorce. The car was more reliable and handsome than the man. 20 years later I still miss her.

I'm the author and expert of the 1968 GT/CS, and yes, Ford did send a handful of GT/CS Mustangs up to B.C. and Alberta (DSO B6, B7) when CA sales waned in May through July. 4118 total made, which includes 251 High Country Specials in CO. I owned one for 35 years and put 400K miles on it. I also did the histories of Little Red and Green Hornet; found here on YT as Barrett Jackson documentaries. The quarter windows are a bear to fix! LOL. Nice car! If it's a C code, it got plain hubcaps. GT caps for 302 J Code, 390 or 428CJ. Same pop off gas caps for all engine types. Thanks for posting this video!

Dang! Cool to see you here Paul 👍🏼 I used to live in Laramie and owned a white High Country special. Love that car for many years. Used to go to Denver to have dinner with Bob Teets about once a year. He has the coolest High Country Special - a 428 car !You have great expertise thanks for sharing it on the forums and comments sections here 👍🏼😁 much appreciated 🤟🏻

OMG - I had a '68 Mustang when I was young. Just a plain old coupe, but I did love that car. Our neighbor had a '67 in that color. It's an original color, and any Mustang collector will love it, even if it has to "grow" on you. My heart is aflutter with nostalgia.

So I pulled up my favorite KZitem pages and what do I find but a video about my favorite car since I was a tiny girl. I love Mustangs. If I won the lottery I’d probably have five. Thank you for your fun video. And you have a wonderful day also!

I love my Mustang convertible. I bought it new in 1999 and it's the 50th anniversary special. It has never spent a night outside, always been protected in my garage. It still looks like brand new and only has 145,000 miles on it. The mechanics at the oil change shop are always trying to buy it from me. Not to bad for a 23 year old car!

Janice, 12 years ago we bought our then 15 yo daughter a 1999 Mustang convertible. It had been owned by an adult and was in great shape with only around 85, 0000. She drove it for 5 years and passed it down to her brother. Both kids are now grown and have newer vehicles, but we kept the Mustang for our fun car. It’s still in great shape, all original, and only 133,000 miles. And like you, people offer to buy it, but I’m not ready to let it go yet!

It a fabulous car. Being brought up in the age of the muscle car has made me love ❤️ them all. But Carroll Shelby created such a coolness that couldn’t be done with the current Mustangs and others that can’t be duplicated. They were cars to get people to look. They weren’t sports cars, they were beefy and had a deep sexy sound when started. The damaged VW bus for that? You got the better end. People who watch your videos know how much restoration it was going to need.
