First post here. Thanks in advance for any insight into my questions below:
My background comes from the Vintage Mustang world where the "Marti Report" is the accepted authority for verifying how '67 and newer Mustangs were built. For those unfamiliar with the Marti Report, a standard order car typically had a 2 digit DSO (District Sales Office) code and special order cars typically had a 6 digit DSO code. In many cases a special order car was special due to it having a non standard paint color.
Fast forward to current 2017 models, I have a friend who recently picked up a new California Special and the MSRP sticker contains the notation "Special Order" and the text is framed in green. There were other new California Specials on the lot that did not have a "Special Order" notation or the green border around the MSRP text. This car is Oxford White (standard color) and is equipped with several factory options that appear to be "regular" options.
My questions are, what constitutes a 2017 Special Order car and, is there a source for confirming what specific characteristic(s) make this particular car "Special Order"?
