While in Monterey, Calif., for Pebble Beach, I saw a TV commercial for a special-edition Mustang Shelby GT California Special. According to the ad, only 200 were built exclusively for the northern California market.
The car pictured was black with silver stripes. Carroll Shelby was mentioned, but I am not sure to what extent he was involved with the creation of these cars. The cars have 319 horsepower and a unique gauge cluster.
This was the first I heard of these cars. Does anyone else know more?
Here’s the site mentioned on the ad for more info: www.YourCaliforniaFord.com.
