Tough time to be selling such a car (with the economy and all). I hope Paul gets what he is asking for it, it is a rare car. I have never seen it in person, but I can't help but say it is a little rougher than I had imagined from seeing pictures of it. It would be nice to have the "numbers...

I will take 1 of each, But i live in Canada. Anyone else up here like one as well, to make shipping worth while?

The whole family including the "other woman"!

Has original 302 and 4 spd. 9" rears (now with 3.50:1), original Candy Apple red, Canadian DSO (B7), black interior, console, tach, Am radio, heavy duty suspension, added power steering and brakes.

It is a sweet looking car, although there are a few things that are NOT original and therefore NOT concours. Because it is a 289 (and therefore NOT a GT), the exhaust system is completely wrong for the car. It did not originally have dual exhaust, resonators, quad tips, etc. so what he calls a...

I'm a little suspicious of this one too. On top of the wrong hood and grill, he is missing the hood lock retainers, and it has the wrong rear valence for a 289 motor (C code). He could get a Marti report in a couple of days. There is no reason to sell a Cal Spec with out one now a days.

The reverse switch on the 4 speed is actually right under the shifter itself. If you have the factory linkage the new switch will bolt right up and hook to the wiring harness that comes off the fire wall (4 wires and a plug). If you have an after markert shifter it will take a little...

The more I look at this car, the more I think it has been restored. The undercarriage is WAY to clean (ie. rust free). Everything from the leaf springs, suspension components and all steering components would show some surface rust if they were original. Also the red shocks, chrome master...

I do have most (maybe all) of the posters and ads that were produced at the time the car was originally sold. Just have not had the time to put them into some type of display. Probably should do that soon, it would save me alot of questions, but then again, I dont mind talking to those...

Just another pic.

I finally had a chance last weekend to enter my first car show. It was an annual Ford show put on by local dealer, about 150 cars, but only 1 California Special. I was surprised to find how many people still are unaware Ford ever made a Cal Spec. Needless to say I spent a portion of the day...
