Hi Kids,
I recently found two GT/CS cloth patches . It is three and a half inches wide and one and a half inch tall. It is blue with a white border. The word Mustang ( in white) on top and GT/CS underneath. I've never seen one before and the guy I bought it from had a HUGE collection of every patch you can think of. He told me that this patch was in storage for 30 years. I'm a skeptic and he sure had a lot of patches but you all know how hard it is to find anything like that for our cars. I went back to look at his collection a few months later and asked about another patch and coincidently, that patch had been in storage for 20 or 30 years too. Most of the patches were blue and white and I mean he had thousands of them. I asked if he had any GT/CS ones and he looked around and couldn't find any but he knew he had some previously. I bought the only two he had when I saw them the first time. I paid $8.00 for them. I'm wondering what the odds are that he had a list of every Ford car made and then had patches made for them. However.....to pick out a GT/CS when most people don't know what the heck they are....
Has anyone else seen patches like these? Did I score? Or did I just get taken...but I still woulda bought the patch even if they were made yesterday! They are in excellant condition. I'll try to get a picture of them and post them here.
Ideas anyone?
