The 2024 Mustang GT California Special brings back ’68 charm with modern Rave Blue accents, available to order now.
The Ford Mustang has epitomized the essence of American sports cars and the thrill of the open road for nearly six decades. As it gears up for its 60th anniversary, Ford revives the classic California Special package for the 2024 Mustang GT Premium in both the fastback coupe and convertible models, promising a vibrant nod to the past while embracing the future. The latest iteration of this iconic package is a harmonious blend of the Mustang’s rich heritage and the contemporary design language that Ford has become synonymous with.
The 2024 Mustang GT California Special captures the spirit of the original ’68 model, infusing it with a modern twist that’s bound to turn heads from the sun-soaked streets of California to the bustling avenues of New York. The package’s stunning Rave Blue styling is an homage to the freedom and vivacity of the Mustang’s storied past, brought to life even on the bespoke wheels, intake surrounds, and the dynamic, detailed body side graphics. These elements, coupled with the all-new Mustang’s sculpted lines, create a visual experience that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Mustang Brand Manager Joe Bellino encapsulates the essence of this new offering, describing the California Special’s vibrant style as perfectly suited for the laid-back, optimistic driving culture that California epitomizes. The Rave Blue details do more than just catch the eye; they capture the imagination, evoking a sense of excitement and spurring a desire to experience the pure joy of driving that’s rare in today’s automotive landscape. The car’s interior further accentuates this with perforated Navy Pier upholstery, Ebony Black leather seats, and striking dual-color contrast stitching that carries over to the dashboard and doors.
The new Ford Mustang GT with the California Special package is available with both a six-speed manual and an optional 10-speed automatic transmission, priced at an additional $1,995 to the price tag of a Mustang GT Premium.
Like the legacy of the Mustang itself, Ford blends innovation and celebrated heritage with the new 2024 Mustang GT California Special. It’s a bold celebration of the Mustang lifestyle, a symbol of freedom and performance that continues, after nearly 60 years to evolve without losing sight of what made it legendary. With its public debut slated for November 16 at the 2023 Los Angeles Auto Show, the California Special package is poised to make waves, offering a modern take on a timeless classic that’s as much about the experience as it is about the drive.
