Royal Maroon 1968 Mustang GT California Special hardtop owned by Don Potter from Ohio. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week for March 2nd, 2008. Don has this extra information to share, "The car was found on the internet and purchased February 2004 from an exotic car dealer in the Seattle, Washington area. The photos I received with car indicated that the body work and paint were done in September 1997 and is still in very good shape. The engine bay and engine along with interior and floor pans were in pretty sad shape. The mileage at time of purchase was 54,243. Once the engine and tranny was pulled, the undercarriage was inspected completely. We found several modifications that led me to believe car had been extensively drag raced at one time. The right rear shock housing was pushed up and split in three areas. The trans linkage, clutch bracket and shifter had been modified. Since my purchase, the following work has been completed: interior gutted and replaced, dash repainted correct color and all dash pieces replaced, factory console replaced with a humphugger console, factory shifter replaced with a Hurst shifter, electrical gauges replaced with mechanical gauges, 390 engine replaced with a 428 Cobra Jet engine, grille replaced with correct GT/CS grille and Marchal fog lights, front and rear bumpers replaced, engine bay detailed, rearend rebuilt with new axles and 325:1 Posi w/traction bars, GT pop-open gas cap added, standard LED sequential tail lights from Mustang Project, and the driver's side floor pan and passenger side floor pans replaced along with left front torque box."

Royal Maroon 1968 Mustang GT California Special hardtop, left rear view. Check out the California Special emblem on the rear fender. Don added LED sequential tail lights from Mustang Project. The tail lights come on in three steps as the turn signals are activated. First the outside two, then the middle two, then the inside two. This is similar to the mid 60s Thunderbirds, except these use LEDs instead of incandescent bulbs.

Here is a peek at that 390ci V2 280hp engine under the hood. Well, this looks like it was changed to a dual carb setup. Most 390ci engines got the 4 barrel carb, this one came from the factory with a the 2 barrel version. It's an X code engine. The VIN has the X in it - 8R01X164476. It says "Old School" on the underside of the hood.
