That is precisely what I want to do. If by chance there was only 1 car produced, the we know for certain my car was the stage car. As Midnight Special said, we might find many potential matches, but at least we would know that the possibility is still open for an alternative car. I'm not going...

Got it, thanks for clarifying. Curious, is there any Marti specific data that would satisfy you? See my previous post, since we essentially have access to all of the cars built for 1968, it seems we should be able to see if there are any cars that were built that could potentially be the stage...

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I am thinking that if we exclude the "California Special" option from our Marti research, we might be able to determine if there are any similarly optioned cars that are good candidates for the stage car. If there aren't any, then we know this is it. If there is...

I hope you didn't take my "silly" comment the wrong way. I don't think it is silly to discuss and research, I just think it is silly to do let a pile of data go untouched while discussing. My car has had at least one repaint and who knows what else done to it, so I'm not sure photographs of how...

I'm failing to see the relevance of the Marti GTCS1 posted. The option list and color of that car do not match the stage car. It certainly could have been at the event, but there is no evidence that it was the one car that was on stage.

It seems really silly for so many people to debate something without all of the facts. We have access to Ford's full database of 1968 cars via Marti. I am happy to run a search to see if any non-California Special mustangs with that option list were built between Dec 15 1967 and Feb 15th 1968...

Hi all, I see there is lively discussion around my car! Ruppstang gave me a call to let me know, sorry I haven't been more involved with the site, my business keeps me way too busy. After talking to him my curiosity got the best of me and I had to head over to the forums right away. I can say...

If anyone is looking for one of those sweet trailer hitches, I have a bunch of them!

I have a few for sale at http://www.mustang.biz. I'm in San Diego, so it would be a quick drive (or flight!) but they are all project cars. I am active on this site in spurts, my job sometimes consumes nearly every waking second I have...

For more info and pictures on this car, you can check out my website: http://www.mustang.biz/Mustang.biz/The_Cars/Entries/2010/1/31_Sunlit_Gold_California_Special.html Sorry to hear it is being sold so quickly, sounds like with the upgrades it will be an amazing deal. BTW, I installed new...

If you change your mind about project status, I have a nice 4 speed 289 GT/CS for sale. It runs but needs some body work and paint.

Couple on ebay, items 180388343549 and 320496691532 they seem to pop up pretty often on there.

Those macro shots are perfect. That price is crazy, nice job!

Hey 390 I hate to be a pest, but any chance you could try another pic with better focus? That wheel you have is awesome. You might have a macro setting on your camera that does closeups. Like Marty, I'm surprised at how shallow the grain is. I have a couple of wheels that I thought were worn...

They are plastic and the same wheel. Those pictures are very helpful, thanks!

I struck out, I might have some other frames around, so if I do find any Galpin ones I'll let you know.

Does anyone have detailed pictures of the steering wheel grain on the 68 deluxe wheel? Preferably an original wheel. I'm looking for depth and length of the grain. Also, if anyone has suggestions on the proper paint codes for the light and dark browns, I'd like to hear it. I have a bunch of...

David, that is great to hear, I'm really glad it made it across the country ok. Have fun with it, it is a beautiful car! For those following my adventure, I have the Sprint listed on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200443561812#ht_661wt_1167 It isn't quite...

Hey Marty, progress is looking great! i'm curious, what exactly is the "white paint stripe" option? Is that stripes on the hood?

I checked a couple places yesterday and I haven't found any yet, but I have another pile I will reference
