GT equipment

Does anyone have the figures on how many 1968 California Specials and High Country Specials were equipped from the factory with the GT equipment group? Thanks.

I'll take a SWAG at this. All of the 390 4V cars and all the 428 CJ which should equal 227. Of the 962 J-code car let's say 25% were GT's that would be another 240. Total California Special/ HCS with factory GT option = 467.

How is that for a guess! Maybe Paul's new book will have the true numbers from Kevin Marti's data.

Don't forget about the "X" code 390's. They also were eligible for the GT Equipment Group as well. I'm sure a few of those could be added in.

Here's some general info regarding '68 Mustang stats:

“About 17458 of these Mustangs came with the GT Package!”

... unfortunately they don't break out the GT/CS data ...

I knew some X-codes were equipped with the GT option I did not think for the CS/HCS it could be more than a couple. Also I don't know if 25% is a high or low guess for the J-codes. Again just a SWAG.

Although if these numbers are close it makes the "standard" GT coupe almost as rare as a California Special.
