Ford Mustang California Special of 1968

If you ever wondered whether there is an alternative for the very expensive Shelby GT350, we have the answer!!! Only 3.867 produced, based on the Mustang coupe of 1968 and assembled in the Shelby factory. I am proud to introduce the Ford Mustang 1968 California Special (GT/CS). 

We have found 2 original documented GT/CS, in the orginal colour setting. The GT/CS can be recognized as follows: 

• Fiberglass trunk lid and quarter extensions
• 1965 Thunderbird tail lights (non-sequential)
• Pop-off gas cap
• Fiberglass side scoops (non-functional)
• Chrome quarter panel script (GT/CS only)
• Unique body striping
• Blacked out front grille with no chrome surround or running horse emblem
• Fog lights (Marchal or Lucas depending on production date)
• Quarter turn hood locks
• Only available on coupes. No convertibles or fastbacks
• Any regular Mustang engine, option or color available (with exception of options that conflicted with GT/CS package)
• Built only at San Jose plant (all VIN's start with 8R01)

As you can read, I'm already devoted to the California Special and hopefully you too after reading this!

Another Fastback sibling, but from '69

When I look around, it's cars like this that catch my attention every time. And I am very proud to prononce that this beautiful beast will be joining its brothers and sisters at Jimmy's Classic Cars!

Again a lovely Mustang Fastback, but this time it was build in 1969 in California. At first sight, it looks amazing! Nice color, sporty exterior with complementary back side and every detail in line with the rest of the car. And at second look, it looks just as great!

Every light, wiper, blinker are working the way it should be and the paint jobs is very presentable. Besides that, the undercarriage is very solid.

 The 351 motor is equiped with a 4 BBL holley carb and automatic transmission. Even though the restoration happened 15 years ago, this Fastback still looks and drives great!

After a couple of weeks of restless thinking about her, I will be finally able to welcome her to the Fastback family! I can't wait to take a family picture!

See you then!

Pick up of Julie's little sister

This amazing Mustang Fastback of ’68 has been picked up in Florida end January. I can’t wait for her to be here and meet her big sister, Julie! 

I am very excited to take care of her and take her for a little spin. I’m sure that I’m not the only one who feels like this by looking at her!

I hope she has a safe trip and I’ll be ready to give her a warm welcome in Belgium.

Greetz,

Jimmy

Review of a couple of JCC's cars...

Since the start up, lots of lovely cars have caught my eye. With each and every one of them, I had a great time taking care of them and taking them out for a spin every once in a while.

In this blog I would like to share a number of oldtimers that already arrived in Belgium to find a new home by Jimmy’s Classic Cars.

1. This sunshine yellow Ford Mustang Coupé of 1966, straight from his first owner. The 289 V8 motor is fully original and consists of an automatic gear. Nice car that runs smoothly.
   
   
   
2. The following Ford Mustang Cabrio of 1966 surprised me in a very positive way. The original V8 motor runs very well and fully automatically. Besides that, the 2-toned blue interior assured the comfort while driving. And in case of rain, the roof can be pulled up electronically. 
   
   
   
3. This Ford Ranchero of 1977 is a typical American truck that can be used as a daily car. It’s also equipped with an automatic V8 motor.
   
   
   
4. The Volkswagen T1 Splitbus of 1965 is a very healthy car. Even though, this Westfalia camper isn’t in perfect condition, the bodywork is in great condition! I’d love taking a ride with it!
   
   
   
5. The Ford Mustang Convertible of 1971 below is equipped with a nice interior and an automatic convertible top. The car runs great and contains full options.
   
   
   
6. When this lovely Karmann Ghia arrived in Belgium, it was positively surprised. The paint is very recently done and shows the nice exterior of the car. The interior too has been taken care of with love. Besides the looks, this car runs smoothly.
   
   
   
7. The following Ford Mustang Coupe of 1967 can be handled smoothly with power steering.  It runs Ford-O-Matic with an original 289 V8 engine. The black interior of this Springtime Yellow car is completely original.
   
   
   
8. Last but not least, I would like you to meet this sporty Ford Mustang of 1967. A 2 door coupe with 289 matching numbers and a 4V Edelbrock carburetor. The car is finished off with nice 15” Mustang Wheels.
   
   

    I really hope I can continue showing you lots of lovely cars like those above.

    Greetz,
