My first ride? You probably know by now it was a VW convertible that was British Racing green with a black top and chrome wheels. In episode 27 I talked about my first Mustang. A 1979 coupe.

The California Special first appeared in 1968 when Ford introduced a limited-edition Mustang exclusive to the Golden State. This model was born out of a collaboration between Ford and Shelby American, taking design cues from the Shelby GT models and blending them with Mustang's classic styling.
The California Special made a triumphant return during the fifth generation of the Mustang, known as the S197, which ran from 2005 to 2014.
