"California Made it Happen!" - That was the slogan used by Ford to promote the limited edition California Special (GT/CS) Mustang in 1968. And in a nutshell it perfectly describes the beginnings of this special Mustang. It was the California Ford dealerships. with clout built on high sales volume. that got the ball rolling on the GT/California Special package. Design inspiration came from "Little Red"; a prototype built to study the possibility of creating a Shelby coupe (which never happened).
So with a combination of Shelby parts and unique GT/CS parts. the California Special Mustang was born. The GT/CS was unveiled to CA dealers on February 15. 1968 at the Century Plaza Hotel in LA. where it received a very enthusiastic reception. Shortly afterward the media campaign began in earnest including full page newspaper ads. TV commercials and billboards; all designed to get the public to visit their local Ford dealer to see the new Mustang made just for California. The reality though was that the GT/CS expanded beyond CA state lines and was also sold in other markets including Kansas City. Dallas. Salt Lake. Seattle. Phoenix and Canada.
