What's so Special about a California???????

[Bikeman315]

See now you just sound petty, I get maybe you don't appreciate the history, aesthetics, or appeal of the California Special, but someone who owns an Base Model GT calling the CS unremarkable????

Nicely said Joe. It’s this same attitude that pisses me off on the Bullitt & Mach 1 threads. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if you want to continually rag on a Mustang take it over to C6G.

Hi all. I have a velocity blue Cali special on order…VB, 6MT, 400A, active valve exhaust, B&O radio, enhanced security. Scheduled build date is week of July 26. Hopefully I’ll see it by fall if lucky.
Here’s all I have for now. Let’s see those Cali Specials.

I am pretty much an all out performance and racing guy. But I love my CS. The grill, black accents, Miko Suede seats, red stitching, and CS Dash trim are easily worth an extra 2k IMO.

 

[Bobn57]

Yeah, had to scour the internet looking for real pictures of the color before deciding to place the order. My humble photography opinion...they should drop the renders and do infinity cove 360 shots of every color. But that would cost more than the industry standard.

Ford's gallery has a much better color shown...this is what I'm waiting for ....

Not so fast. You need to do a little checking on that.

I found a 400A CS up in NJ. Notice the analog gauges? Notice the red stripe on the dashboard?

This is no guarantee, but the CS package may include the updated trim from the 401A package.

I ordered my 2021 gtcs with 400A...this is from Ford's confirmation letter...but it doesn't mention the red stitching on dash. I'm sure it included.
The build and price configuration shows the red dash stiching.

Unfortunately you cannot really go by any of the stock pics in the configurator. Too many errors.

The stitched dashboard only comes with the 401a package. It’s part of the “Premier Trim with Color Accent Group”.

hmmmmm..I like the look of the analog dash. I may have to change to 401A. My build date was bumped to August 9 yesterday so I have a little time to decide.
