    Mustang IIs

    ...I think a revival may be possible, but only a cut above Pinto, Pacer, Vega, Gremlin...cults IMO. Not bad lines for the day, yet not performers or made to last very long. I think they were an initial hit as the latest "Mustang", but largely disappointing in an era when proven performance was...

    For Sale Highly Optioned J Code in need of restoration

    ...+1 Too often, GT/CSs that come up for sale around here are criticised to the point where it's implied the seller give you his car plus $10,000 so some "restorer" can recoup his investment. To me, this serves to only kill the joy of ownership on a rare & unique Mustang while reducing the...

    1968 HCS shirts

    ...Indeed Tom, my sis & I did a bunch of these back in '06 & '07 that were personalized to each of you, but she no longer has the equipment. Marty is likely silk screening which makes it very expensive for small runs and changing one design to another.

    ...Yes, that's always been the original offer (off topic), but I'll need a firm RSVP soon so I can send you the necessary ramp pass and admission tics. I always give "us" priority. but never hear from anyone 'cept Renee, so by now the car display portion is filling up fast with other vehicles...

    ...You all should come to Grass Valley for "this" next month! Having some GT/CSs there is only the tip of the iceberg. I've been coordinating these shows in Grass Valley and Auburn for the last 15 years with emphasis on non-stop nostalgic iron combined with fellowship, food, brew and family...

    ...Interesting, Thanks Marty. I almost bought a "Martied" (Raven Black I believe) back in '05. There were some ugly welds & poorly replaced floor pans, so I opted for the one I have now. ....and we need to remind Steve to go easy on Rob's ribs & briskets!...>

    1968 Tall people beware!!

    ...This is why my 6'6" brother never drove with us... I would've needed "Fred Flintstone" brakes and an "Adam's Family" (Lurch) sunroof... ;-)

    Another Bad Idea?

    ...Thanks Marty :-) I'm just voicing a little balance (as I often do). Seems an increasing few of us for the time being, prefer to spend our money keeping our machines on the road...driving, enjoying, inviting our friends to drive, taking elder former owners for rides etc...in a way trophy...

    Another Bad Idea?

    ...So I guess I'd better get busy & buff the Carroll Shelby sig off my air cleaner and Jay Leno's penned on my glovebox to keep our model builders happy LOL... and I have yet to get the 45-minute lectures about painted screens, date coded door hinge bolts and absence of afterthought daubs &...

    Gas Mileage: Who's CS drinks fuel the quickest/slowest?

    Hmm... Last I tracked on an S-code trip was 146 miles on 16 gals... 9.1mpg non-conservatively speaking ;-)

    ...I think you nailed it, Joe. I always wondered why this combo was never offered, although there was some rumor about the gold stripe being a dealer option. And Wow!... 'Cant wait to see Neil's rendition with the gold interior!

    Mine was originally Sunlit Gold (according to purist papers), but it's steadily been the favorite of people who see them. While I don't know how many CSs were black, I doubt any had the gold stripe... Another nice touch in my book :-)

    Fyi....

    ...Great fun with cars, planes (five P-51 Mustangs thus far), rippin' fly-bys, food, Friday Night Dinner Dance Party and an added beer & wine tasting festival with extended flying on Saturday! All in the picturesque Sierra Nevada foothills an hour north of Sacramento. (RSVP with me soon if...

    ...Indeed, Marty. Other than the Mustang name and some badging, they are completely different cars. Your "choice" may as well be between any new car and a '68 as there is really no comparison at all. We took it up & down two curvy highways and a one-laner river canyon road, braking hard and...

    ...Another nice day with TJ with a rare photo op and drive in the new 435HP 2015 GT! Uncorked and sounding like the old Boss 302, she's nothing short of awesome to drive on the winding highways around here :-) Needing glasses to read speedometers these days, what I thought was 60 became 90...
