Volume 2? So is it time for a volume 2 for those of us who missed the first one?

No SoCal yet? I can't believe that none of the horde of Southern Cal GT/CS owners has raised their hand. Paul, I'm in if you need sommeone from these parts still.

A great story to tell Hey - your story is great, but more importantly you have an actual "legendary car experience" in your life. I've heard these kinds of stories from friends and thought "what an experience - now that's what being a car person is all about". I hope all goes well with your...

thought so Thanks Mo. I thought Little red had the '67 nose - at least at first - but then I started doubting myself.

what it is or isn't Ya know, to me this car is cool until the seller decides to call it a little red tribute. Just like a really nice white 65 fastback with blue stripes and a 289 isn't a Shelby GT350 replica, this car isn't a Little Red tribute. I do hope he sold it though - I always like to...

I wanna se em Hey Rob, I bet a lot of us would like to see the pics. I know I would. I've have my car in my driveway a few times over the past few weeks since Galpin and every time I uncover it someone stops and asks if it's for sale. I'm sure some visual exposure would help you.

Look good from what the site says Hey Paul, These look like a great idea. I am encouraged because the web site specifically mentions that these lights are a drop in swap for muscle cars. I would hope that this means they have tested them with older electrical systems and know the will not...

Yup - NADA needs refining You're right on Cougar. We know that the NADA guide beigns with what they consider a base car and then add or subtract for their listed options. In the case of the 68 Mustang they start with a C289, but are unclear on the transmission choice. They have no deduction...

Purely correct correctness, corrected with purity Ya know, here's what I think is an interesting twist. By all accounts the original Green Hornet (unlike the earlier Little Red) was in fact built from a factory GT/CS. Therefore, the "purest" way to re-create this car would be to start with a...

And it gets more complicated Well, to add to the confusion, it seems that instead of "a" market value we have to deal with multiple markets. For example, any given CS will be likely be valued at one level by the buyers on e-bay, a different level by informed private parties (like most of us in...

Tim you are sooo right I agree Tim - value is such a nebulous thing. I know that there's a difference between the value guide value of my car, and what I would consider selling it for. What confuses me at times though, is the apparent reluctance of some people to consider the GT/CS to be a true...

I agree we should work on this I'm with you Paul. I think it would be of great value to us all to have a realistic basis from which to work on determining the valueof our cars. In between the price we want it to be when we are buying and the appraisal we hope to see as owners is a reasonable...

Cheers Paul Paul, Although I only know you from this forum and a few minutes at Galpin, I believe this is a legitimate case of "couldn't happen to a nicer guy". Of course this will require an update to the new book to say "Authored by Paul Newitt, 2008 recipient of the Lee Iacocca award"...

What makes a GT/CS a GT/CS? Well, I expect you'll get a lot of input on this one. I can only address the CS part of your question. The key is to recognize what a '68 GT/CS is. Technically, unlike Shelbys, which were separate models with (initially at least) unique engines and a specific set...

Oy Vey! OK, I'm braindead. Not only did I know Paul was sending the mailer, but ironically I pulled mine from my mailbox about an hour after I posted my question. Boy do I feel silly!

Galpin event Hey all, :icon_lol: I realize this thread has kinda shifted to the Knott's show, but I was wondering if we've got anything like a formal registration/sign up for the Galpin event. I, like a lot of others, have committed to attend, but I was curious as to whether we're going to...

T-shirts are good Hey Paul, By predictable I meant good. It seems the members of this forum are eager for anything that helps advertise our cool cars and our allegiance to them. I'm really anxious to see the artwork, and I expect you'll see quite a positive response.

I want one! I expect the response to this T-shirt idea will be pretty predictable, but for the record, I want one (or two or three or......), even if it takes a deposit to get them printed.

I'm in Hey Paul, Count me in for one GT/CS and probably 5 people total. I'll RSVP when I get the mailer also. John Edgehouse

Oh and another thing Hey Don, how did you get a maroon die cast? Is that the prototype? I got stuck with white and blue - well except for a 1/64. I'm jealous.
