Orlando, FL, November 11, 2026 – One of the most celebrated original Mustang models, the 1968 California Special, debuts as a compelling addition to the Revology Mustang family.
“There are few vehicles that have been offered in as many variants as the Mustang – perhaps only the Porsche 911 has had more,” says Tom Scarpello, CEO and founder of Revology Cars.
“Some of these Mustang variants have been models and some have been packages available on certain models. Today, one of most coveted packages is the California Special, introduced for the 1968 model year.”
Available initially only in California but later made available elsewhere, the California Special was designed to leverage the image “halo” of the Shelby models to support the high-volume Mustang coupe, which was finally facing stiff competition after several years of sales growth.
“Ford recognized early in Mustang’s life cycle that customers wanted the ability to make their cars unique. Mustang was always more than mere transportation – it was a lifestyle choice,” says Scarpello. “We didn’t invent this – we’ve just taken it to the next level.”
Revology Cars deployed its trademark attention to detail to produce its version of this renowned Mustang.
The Revology California Special adopts the tail lamp panel, decklid, and spoiler from the ’68 Shelby, per the original. Other distinguishing features include the California Special script badging, GT/CS logos on the side scoops, and rectangular fog lights.
Inside, Revology’s California Special sports the company’s deluxe wood grain interior.
Revology’s California Special package is available on its limited production 460hp Mustang GT and 710hp supercharged Cobra Jet convertible models.
Revology has no plans to introduce a coupe model. Scarpello adds: “We think anything with the name ‘California’ in it should be a convertible. This is what the California Special really wanted to be.”
