The California Special treament dates back to the original Mustang. It was introduced for the 1968 model year as a dealer special inspired by a 1967 Shelby GT notchback coupe prototype. Called the Mustang GT/CS originally, the car came with a blacked-out grille, fog lamps, and a side racing stripe that ended ahead of a rear fender scoop.
The modern package gives a nod to the original car with a blacked-out grille and side stripes. There are differences, though. There's no side scoop on the rear fender, which Ford did offer on its, and there's also bright blue accents in a color known as Rave Blue. The blue accents extend to the standard 19-inch wheels which come in two designs.The blue accents continue into the interior, where they are joined by black trim that includes leather for the seats.
The Mustang GT's 5.0-liter V-8, which can be ordered with either a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, has been left untouched. The engine makes makes 480 hp as standard or 486 jp with an available active exhaust system that costs $1,225.. It's still being developed but Ford said to expeect at least 800 hp. There's no word on pricing but a similar upgrade for the previous-generation Mustang cost $8,500.
The L.A. auto show starts Nov. 16 but interested buyers can already place an order for the California Special package via Ford's website.
