Thank you. That was my very first car show prior to it ever being restored. That would be a fun way to go full circle.

Im parting with my California Special I have had for 24 years. I just dont drive it as much as I feel it deserves. And, well, my husband wants a boat. It was March in one of your calendars a few years back. Maybe 2009? And is in the registry in Paul Newitt's book and its picture is in there...

Thank you. Not what I liked to see. Maybe I will hang on to it. I would rate it a 2 car. I win most shows and there is no cosmetic damage. Engine is not sparkly but not bad. It is a 289. Upgraded features are air conditioning and center console.

I am considering selling my GT/CS. I have had it for 22 years and bought it when it had black paint, ripped interior and no stripes and missing trims. I have rebuilt the motor, all stock. It is a 289. I had it fully restored, interior and exterior, about 5 years ago. It is now beautiful...

Just for fun, here is the link to those signs http://www.grandillusionphotography.com/automotive.htm Yeah, I think the identification site is a bit misleading. Maybe needs to be re-worded

I would take a red one

Thanks. I know the stripes were not Shelby stripes, but different than regular mustangs. That was what I meant anyways. I like the "Limited factory production..." line instead. But is that going to cause the whole argument that although they were made for mostly S. California dealers, they...

I am having a nice sign made by "Grand Illusions". They take awesome pictures of your car and you can have lots of things made with them. While living in Virginia and Wisconsin, VERY few people know what a California Special is. I'd guess I could count on one hand in both states. Many people...

Do they have antique plates where you register once, then do not have to re-register or have inspected?

If you need a higher price, check out NADA. It has California Special listed and then able to add options.

Are you looking to make this a show car and therefore want near perfect parts or are you trying to just finish a car so it is a decent looking driver? If it is the latter, I may have some parts for you. I have a front and rear bumper, both tailight bezels, but only one tailight, right lower...

I think that's it. I found a picture online of fog lamp pedestal parts and there is that black rubber grommet. Thanks for solving my question.

I am putting new hood pins in my hood. It is a new hood so the holes arent there. I ordered new ones that came with pins, plates, retainers, and springs. But I need one new support bracket. One is ok, but the other one is missing the wire. It looks like it broke off. In all of my old parts...

You can get original ones from Tony Branda 800-458-3477. You have to call to get price.

How about $10 for the script. I know you can buy a new set for $40. I dont know if it is original or not. It was never on my car and I have owned it for 16 years. It came with the extra parts I was given when I bought it. It is is great shape but has some residual wax in the lettering but...
