The only thing I could come up with is the CS model (California Special). Which is labeled CS on the side of the car.

The Mach 1 debuted as a 1969, and it never came with any engine other than a big block.

The 289 was discontinued in 1968, and they were only available in a 2bbl for 1968. The 1968 may also be a 302 if the owner is unsure.

Here is a page dedicated to the 1968 Sprint Mustang's. Not much to tell about them really. They had a special pinstripe in the shape of a C on the side of the car. Otherwise, some of the V8 models came with foglamps mounted in the grille like the GT.
