Default 1968 Mustang GT/CS

As some of you know I have been searching for the right car and I found it and pick it up tomorrow. I found it on e-bay and convinced them to end the auction early.
Its a 1968 Mustang GT California Special, only a little over 4,000 made. Here are some of the pics I have that they gave me but I will post more later.

You did decode the vin to make sure it is what they say it is right? Nice car! Looks like a CA car... blue plates? Can I ask how much you are spending on the GT/CS?
What happened to that black 66 you were looking at?

Yea I decoded the VIN and they gave me a Marti Report on it, so it is legit I think lol. But I didnt check to see if the VIN matched the Marti Report...but I am pretty sure everything is good. I looked at it in person yesterday, the car was about 250 miles from my house. Paid $14,000 for the car, appraised for $19,200. And yes it was a California car about 10 years ago, still had the plates on it though...probably just for looks.

The guy with the black 66' took too long to get me the appraisal...so I paid an extra $1400 for a limited edition car that is in almost as good of shape. Zero rust on the car and has been in storage for the last ten years. Its a VERY nice car for the money I think.

+1 on the limited edition, always worth more and more unique.
