Had to happen, one for Mrs Bee!


Will have the original Deluxe steering wheel on it when I get it.

California Special, it's a limited run car only made in 1968.

It got, Shelby side scoops, Shelby Convertible rear fender extensions and wing, Shelby driving lights and hood pins, Deluxe bonnet, stripes, pop open gas cap, Thunderbird rear lights as used on the 68-70 Shelbys too) and then any options available for that year, were available on the car from a straight 6 to a 428 cobra jet.

I saw one of those California specials parked down Maroubra last year. Didn't look as nice as yours though.

Very nice Mrs Bee! Certainly a unique vehicle.
FE big block in an early Mustang....stump pulling torque.
Nightmare to change spark plugs in them. But it will be my problem i guess...:rol:
