California Special returns with a new limited-edition design package for 2019 Mustang GT that commemorates visual cues of the 1968 original while celebrating modern Mustang performance and style
2019 is going to look at lot like 1968 at Ford dealerships.
Along with the return of the Bullitt-edition Mustang GT, inspired by the car Steve McQueen drove in the classic film, Ford will also be offering a California Special version of the pony car after a year hiatus.

The package will only be available on GT coupes and convertibles equipped with six-speed manual transmissions, which get a rev-matching function for 2019 that smooths gear changes by automatically blipping the throttle on downshifts. Ford has also announced the addition of an available 1,000 watt B&O Play audio system across the GT lineup.
