    '67 Fastback on eBay

    That fastback looks like a nice builder, and honestly described! Don't blame you for valuing a red GT/CS as the one you want to keep though. Good luck on the auction, hope whoever buys it returns it to stock and doesn't go nuts with "Eleanor" ideas. Enough of that already. Jim B.

    GT/CS Clone (Sort of) on eBay

    The best thing about this one is the correct 1968 Southern California black plates. It needs so much to be a decent CS clone, the best thing would probably to bring it back to a stock 1968 notchback. It really been messed with. Tim's (Midnight Special) blue clone, which I've had the...

    Friday Joke

    Understanding engineers A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes". The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude". The...

    New GT/CS owner here!!

    Welcome to this site, you found the "source". The 5.0 EFI engine is a real great engine, I've had Fords with a couple of them, with good care they'll run to 6 figure mileage, with no fuss, and good mpg also. With a 5 speed it'll be a lot of fun. I hope it'll be cosmetically box stock when...

    Hello...Help! Looking for Insurance!

    Welcome! Partly depends on what your needs are...if your'e talking about a '68 GT/CS do you have it only for show purposes and low mileage? If so, Hagerty is supposed to be a good bet. The price is REAL cheap, but it's not for someone looking to drive their car every day - for collector cars...
