Although it's probably not the Coolest Stang'
on The Block right now? Having just heard, but not seen the new for 2019 Bullitt edition Mustang
going on sale this summer to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the movie.
Yet the 2019 Mustang GT/CS model,
or better known as the California Special isn't
new to any of us FoMoCo' Aficionados. Knowing that 'Ol Shel', aka Carroll
Shelby previously sprinkled his Snake Oil; Err Charm upon the original for Ford
Wayback in 1967.
Well Ok, it was actually Shelby's prototype 'lil
Red '68 Shelbyy GT-500 Coupe which served as the inspiration for the eventual
'68 Mustang GT/CS's cars. Which were produced solely for the California
marketplace. With local Dealers hoping to sell an estimated 5,000 units, but
less than 4,200 were ultimately built.
Then again, what better car than a brand new
Mustang GT/CS convertible to go 'N "Get lost in The USA."
