2026 California Special GT with FX?

[Bill Cool]

I picked up a 2026 from a local dealer last month. Not my preferred option sheet, but the price was right and it avoided waiting "2 to 6 months" for a custom order. It's a convertible, automatic, with the FX Package, Active Exhaust, B&O, and a couple other options. The passenger dash has the California Special badge, despite that package not appearing on the sticker - nor being available in for MY26, that I can find. The only MY26 CS "Mustangs" I can find are Mach-E GT's.

Some search results indicate '26s with the FX package "are" CS's; but there is no other CS branding on the vehicle. Is my Google Fu just totally off, or did I get a dash plaque from the parts bin?

Uh, you definitely got the wrong badge. The FX package replaced the California Special.

Sounds like the factory messed it up, like when the S650s were new. They were shipping cars with mismatched driver/passenger seats, and mismatched brakes on either side (an Ecoboost got a performance Brembo on one side only).
