I was reading something that Rob Campbell posted regarding the introduction date of Feb 15, 1968, and the timeline for my GT/CS.
Looking through all of the Marti reports on our site, most of the GT/CS cars have an 'actual' build date and release date either the same or one day apart.
My GT/CS was actually built on 02/06/68 and released on 02/19/1968. Several other cars have a similar gap.
Would it be safe to say that these early February built Mustangs with the extended time period from build date to release date were some of the Mustangs converted to GT/CS models for the expected 'rush' of orders?
Something else I found interesting regarding tworings GT/CS.
Her car has the an early release date of 02/16/1968, and it has a "Stock" order type. Most of the early cars are designated "Basic Off Standard".
tworings GT/CS has an order received date of 12/12/1967. Was this car pre-ordered as a California Special by Jim Snow Ford of Paramount, Ca that early? or was the order changed mid-stream?

It was released Feb, 16, 1968, the day after the introduction, this predates all the rest of the cars that I found in the "Post your Marti Report" thread.
