1968 Ford Mustang GT California High-Country Special - Gold Metallic (Greenlight Collectibles) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
The limited edition '68 Mustang California Special was built and exclusively sold in California due to the enormous popularity of the Mustang there. The GT/CS was only available in a hardtop coupe and it is often mistaken for a Shelby. A prominent element of the GT/CS is the distinct rear section consisting of a fiberglass rear deck lid and quarter panel extensions with integral spoiler. The unique GT/CS marking is etched into the triple body striping with a chrome "California Special" script secured to the rear quarter panels. The front grille lacks the horse and corral emblem recognizable on the '68 Mustang model and the factory installed chrome hood locks with a quarter turn design secure the hood to special latched bolted to the radiator support. This Greenlight Collectibles limited edition 1/18 scale diecast model car replica of the Ford Mustang GT/CS "California Special" is guaranteed to be just as collectible as the GT/CS itself!

The Ford Mustang launched on April 17, 1964 and sold over 22,000 units on its first day — a record that still stands. Credited with creating the pony car segment, the Mustang gave American buyers a sporty, affordable car at a time when performance meant expense. Early first-generation cars are among the most collected American automobiles ever produced, with the 1967–1968 fastback body style and the 1969–1970 Mach 1 considered peak muscle era styling.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1968 Ford Mustang in Gold, Metallic is produced by Greenlight Collectibles to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
