When I got my Cali a new Edelbrock carb was on the J code engine but there was a somewhat dusty carb in an Edelbrock box. It is a Motorcraft 4300 with the marking C8AF-B on the bottom plate. I knew the car had been stored for a number of years, and this had to be on it during that time. Any...

Any interest in 1968 NOS deluxe wheel covers? My Cali came with them and the Marti report lists them as originally installed. When I got the car the originals were farily well beat up so I looked for nice ones for almost two years. Meanwhile I changed mine Cali over to the GT style wheels...

I'm sure somone has gone down this path before but last weekend I got a NPD catalog for Mustangs at a Mustang car show. They list 1157 halogen bulbs for Mustangs. I can see that might be a reasonable thing for a single tail light but I wonder how they would work for the three bulbs per side...

I just saw this on Ebay. As with many other things my car does not have one of these. Mine is a J code and I don't know if it originally had one, should have one, or if this part makes a meaningful difference. I'm not even sure where it would go other than likely in front of the radiator...

And now we can buy tail light protectors one piece at a time. I'd love to have a set but.................... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/68-SHELBY-1968-CALIFORNIA-SPECIAL-GT-CS-TAIL-PROTECTOR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ140708QQihZ003QQitemZ130102266318QQrdZ1

There's a tail light assembly on Ebay listed as being for 69-70 Shelbys and the California Special. I asked the owner what number was on it. He said it was C4SB-13440-B, which does not match the numbers posted on this site. Does anybody know what this one is? The lens certainly looks like...

Late last year I ordered a USA 6 radio for my CS to replace the fairly old Radio Shack radio then in the car. My car originally came with an AM radio, which I aquired for originality in the future, but I wanted something that looked fairly stock but was an AM/FM. At the same time I bought and...

Since I did not get Paul's book on Ebay (72ls5) I must ask yet another "how to" question. When I got my car, it did not have hood locks or the retainer that attaches behind the grill beacuse it had been hit in the nose at some point in its life. The Marti report I have proves it is a real CS...

I was told at a recent car show the stripes on the side of my car are incorrect. In looking at photos of other California Specials I would have to agree with that assessment. I noticed in the reference part of this site how to attach stripes but the discusssion mentioned Paul's registry as a...

This may be a dumb question but the CS I bought about 2 months ago has a problem with the large pad that goes from the steering wheel towards the dash. Mine is the color of the interior, Ivy gold, but is torn. In the middle of this pad seems to be another separate smaller pad that has a center...

I went to a Mustang car show over the weekend and looked at a copy of the 1996 Registry a person had. I have read here that those are no longer available and have not been to find one anywhere else. Any ideas? My car was hit in the front end once and is missing several pieces. The Registry...

I recently bought sight unseen (from a person at the office's Dad out of state) a California Special. It was represented as 90% restored and is really mostly there, although there is still much to do. I noticed right off the interior rear view mirror is missing. Since it is an out of state...
