This Raven Black 1968 California Special hardtop was at the 2010 Mustang Roundup car show in Bellevue, Washington. It has the standard 12 slot argent styled wheels, white side stripe, side scoops with GT/CS graphics, California Special rear fender graphic, rear wing, and 289ci V8 engine. The C-code 289ci V8 was the most common engine for the 1968 GT/CS but others ordered included the T (200ci), J (302ci), X (290ci), S (390ci), and the R (428ci) code engines. Side stripes came in white, black, red, or metallic blue depending on the main exterior color. Most of the grilles included Lucas fog lamps but some did receive lamps manufactured by Marchal. 2.79:1 was the most common rear axle ratio but others included the 2.75:1, 3.00:1, 3.20:1, 3.23:1, and the 3.50:1. The GT California Special was a California special promotion but only about 8 percent of the cars was ordered with the GT option which included dual exhaust with quad exhaust tips, argent slotted steel wheels with GT center caps, and heavy duty front and rear spring. All other standard 1968 GT options were not used.

Not sure if the GT gas cap came with the optional GT package ordered along with the GT/CS. Only 8 percent of the 1968 California Specials were ordered with the GT package which came with the GT wheels, heavy duty springs, and dual exhaust with quad tips. Other 1968 GT options were not included.

Rear view of a Gulfstream Aqua Mustang GT hardtop parked next to a Acapulco Blue 1968 Mustang GTCS hardtop at the 2010 Mustang car show in Port Angeles, Washington. You can see the rain clouds off in the distance over the Olympic Mountain range which hit us in a few hours with a light sprinkle. A little over 100 Mustangs showed up, would have been 2x that many if it were sunny. You can see the 1972 to 2003 category up on the top of the parking ramp.
View of a 1968, Ford, Mustang, J-code, 302ci, 4V, V8 engine. Nice!
Another view of that 302ci V8 engine.
View of the GT fender emblem and wheels. I was careful not to once again get a reflection of myself in the paint, but I did get the great Springtime Yellow 1967 Mustang next to it.
Nice photo of a 1968 Mustang GT gas cap. Of course its a nice photo, I took it...
