Hi All,
Back in 2008, the southern California Ford/Shelby dealers requested a "California Edition" Shelby GT. Shelby produced 215 of these Grabber Orange GT-C cars. We have created a registry to track these cars. We have also started a Facebook Group page. If you have one of these cars and your interested in being registered please contact me at [email protected]

FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/174837806438436/

Also have some other interesting info on 2008 Mustangs

Thanks - Merry Christmas!
Charlie C - 08SGT0072

Just curious but why do you need another registry besides the Shelby registry ? Also, I just think there is too much California going on there. The Shelby GT was derived from a California Special so is it not a California Special Shelby GT California Edition ?

Well first off, you have nice car. I'll respond to your comments.

There are only 215 2008 Shelby GT-C's. They were special ordered by the southern California Ford/Shelby dealers. All Shelby GT's are basically clones of the Shelby GT-H (Hertz). (See wiki - 2007-08 Ford Shelby GT below) The "California Special" was never a Shelby - It was a regular Ford production Mustang. (See Page 6 of the attached Mustang Order Guide) I've added a few docs for your review.

Lastly, you can't view any Shelby registry. You can be registered on it but that's it. So you really never know the rarity of your car or how it was spec'd out. Maybe that doesn't interest you which is fine. Our registry tracks all 215 GT-C's and is view able by the owners.

Good Luck Selling Your Car.

I understand that, but whats the difference between a shelby gt and "California special" shelby gt

The Cali edition (not California Special, that's a Ford thingy) is just special door sills that say California, and the center gauge pod, and of course the color. You couldn't get Grabber in a regular SGT
