WOW.

I am flattered to see this kind of reaction, and I thank everyone for their support and encouragement.

Off the top of my head, here is what I plan on doing for the GT/CS (HCS) book by next spring (Not in order):

History / Trivia, etc. (any new information)
(incl. Little Red and Green Hornet detailed info reproduced)
Options (factory & dealer)
Recognition /Authentication
Concours Judging Rules
Parts and Restoration
Diagrams & Parts Lists (& sources)
How to Upgrade to today's tech (Engine/ Suspension / Steering)
Registry & "percentages of options, colors, etc."
and..
Windshield Decal and Laser etched (plastic) dash plaque & steering wheel center.

(should I include '65-67 HCS, Ski Country Special and Gold Nugget Specials, too?)

As for the Registry--whether I include if cars are "real" by a Marti report (like an asterisk on the VIN#), solely depends on what Kevin would want to look over my list of car VIN's, and say yea or nay to them individually. I agree that this would be a good selling point of the book. I need to get with Kevin and discuss this first.

I have a zillion photos you've never seen, and I can share those, too.

I also have a feeling that this would be about a 100 page book. I think that since the '05 looks a lot like a '67-'68, this may add more fuel to value of the originals.

Also--I was reading in a "musclecar" mag last month how "fakes" are selling, since people want those cars--even if they aren't real. Frankly, that disgusts me, and to even admit that in a magazine like that only hurts the hobby--and those who really do care about authenticity. We really need to do something about these fake cars out there. Not to stop people from having fun, but from cheating buyers and sellers like this.

What do you think of this?

Thanks again, everyone, for your support!!
It's really gratifying to see your continued support and attention to my work (and for the values of the 1988 books on EBAY).
