I travel for aliving and just ran across a 68 California Special. I have a 64 Ranchero at home but want a Mustang for the lady. Here is the info. I could not decode the paint color.
65A 15 2G 17A 61 2W
8R01C129655
It has a terrible paint job on it now and appears to have been repainted an off white (cream). It has green stripes and the tail lamp panel has been painted the same color as the stripe. The interior is the same color as the stripe also. It appears to have had a vinyl top on it due to the chrome strip at the base of the roof above the quarter.
I looked all up under it and it appears solid with no rust in the usual place that mustangs rust. It does have the braces in the engine compartment and they have been chromed. It has been smacked in the rear but who ever did an ok job. It has a center console and funky clock mounted between the dash and the console. It does not appear stock. The steering wheel is a 3 spoke with simulated woodgrain on the outer area.
I am pretty sure this is a CS/GT but want a second opinion before I lay down 12K for the car. Other than the bad paint and body work everything else looks OK.
Fog lamps/Hood pin/correct tail lamps/GT emblem on gas cap/rear valance with two holes and round baffled stainless tips protruding out rear. What do you think guys. I need to jump on this if it is the real thing but am no expert on Mustangs.
