    1968 Old and New

    I attended a local car show this past Saturday in Springfield, MO. I was parked next to an 07 CS convertible. It drew some attention because of the old and new displayed together. The owners of the 07 would refer to my car as "it's grandmother".

    . Ford Plant in Brazil

    Take a look at this high tech operation in Brazil. According to the report, Ford would like to replicate this plant in the US, but can't because of the UAW. Regardless of where the fault lies for the current sorry state of automotive production in the US, this is an interesting video...

    Mustang Storage, Garage Lift?

    I'm considering a 4 post lift to make more room in my garage. The end of driving season is upon us here in MO, so I'll be buttoning up the CS soon. I was wondering if anyone uses a storage "lift" in their garage. I've searched the internet and there are several but I have no idea about...

    Wheel Flare Moldings

    I'm thinking of adding the chrome wheel flare moldings to my car. My question is this: Were these a a dealer add on, or did some cars come from the factory with them installed? Easy or tricky to install? Anybody have any issues with them? Thanks for your opinions.

    GT/CS Spotted

    I was looking at Cobra's on Ebay and was surprised to see a GT/CS in the background. I assume that it's for sale, but I didn''t see it listed by the dealer. Anyone know anything about it?

    Dude, Where's My Car?

    This is an old picture from the archives of my first GT/CS that I owned when I was 17. Regretfully, I sold it when I went away to college. I didn't keep any records on the VIN, but the license number was a California plate, 034 KIP. Does anyone know how I would go about tracking down this...

    New Stance

    I used a one inch lowering suspension kit when I restored my CS. I have had some front tire clearance issues and I tried to solve it with a narrower front tire. That didn't work so I removed the leafs and coils and replaced them with standard springs. That left me with the characteristic...

    John Travolta's doing his part

    Is John Travolta doing his part to stop Global warming? His "carbon" footprint is rather large to say the least. And he wants me to stop driving my SUV? Give me a break!!!

    GT/CS Fake "Tribute"

    It's a fake. The seller calls this a "tribute" to the GT/CS. It's a bad "tribute" effort IMHO. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=280097121471
