    For Sale GT/CS (Possible Prototype) with Michigan DSO

    Dad, Totally agree, but back in the day (early 70's) most people would just order the 68 grill and put it in the car. And if the front end accident was bad enough to damage the grill, the fog lights and grill mouth would be also be damaged. So in the case of a GT/CS being in cosmetic front end...

    For Sale GT/CS (Possible Prototype) with Michigan DSO

    Arlie, You are an awesome registrar! You never say never and record but hold cars with questions. This group looks very interesting! This was right smack in the middle of the Ford strike in the Fall/Winter of 1967/1968. As we know many cars were staged (built and taken aside) for conversion...

    For Sale GT/CS (Possible Prototype) with Michigan DSO

    Wish this car was closer!! Is anyone near by? Funny how it is grouped nearly perfectly with the other three. And again a very loaded car! Rob

    For Sale Another Over Priced One

    Looks like the rust areas were shown before its repaint. Normal spots on all our cars. If repaired correctly they are a non-issue. Car is an "S" code and the 390 and 4 speed are in the pics. Marchal lights! Looks like nice big block high end car that I would estimate would command $50k and...

    . Marti Report Dealer Codes

    I have also found the dealer codes to be of little use. The name of the dealer seems to be accurate, but not the dealer code. Rob

    1968 Tires

    A 235 60R 15 may work ok on the rear, but it wll rub in the front in my experience. I like my cars a bit lower than stock. You can raise the front with stiffer coil springs, but imo it takes away from its looks and stance. Rob

    For Sale GT/CS In Illinois

    I love the slightly lowered stance of this car. More than likely lowered in the front slightly to compensate for the rear leaf sag of many of these cars. At the same time the slight sag in the back does nothing to hurt the handling of the car unless you are racing. Pretty car with some engine...

    For Sale Acapulco GT/CS Carthage, TN (Facebook)

    My GT/CS looked just like that with a black interior. But mine was a total repaint over a Anniversary Gold car with a black vinyl top. Note the recessed reflectors of an early car. I also noticed the taillight cutout with no bar in the opening in the trunk shot. Mine was the same way...

    For Sale The Worst Clone I Have Ever Seen

    Needs to be seen in person for a complete inspection. More than likely all of the fiber glass stuff is repop, but with the taillights that was a considerable investment in the car. If it is sound underneath I would add white GT/CS stripes and lower it a bit. The exhaust tips need to be...

    Is there anybody out there?

    I am totally here. Car after car are still going through my shop. Got a 427 Cheby motor in the shop I am finishing. Rebuilt three each 4 speed toploaders this month. Next up is a 1975 Ford F-250 Hiboy. I am going to get out of the truck business. To high up in the air and hard to work on...

    1968 Mustang show

    Awesome car Dad! Good words for great people and Dad, you are in the same realm as Marty! Time to keep this one!! I have also noticed the popularity of "new" cars and are local cruise nights are filled with them. We all need an outlet but car shows used to be about cars that were restored...
