    GT/CS on eBay

    Here is a nice one, with original window sticker (Paul if you collect copies of window stickers, here is another one for you). The only odd thing I see is the use of the Shelby pedestal AND the CS pedestal under the Lucas lights. Casey...

    another of my dumb questions - console light

    OK - it seems like I should be able to figure this one out on my own....but....how do you replace burn out bulbs in the upper console? (the map lights in the deluxe overhead console). I have about decided the console has to come out to do it? Casey

    GT/CS CJ

    I know this is in Paul's book somewhere. But, does anyone know how many CS 428's there were? How many are registered? I am sure Jason would love to know for the same reasons I am interested. If there is one for sale (original) in good condition, I would like to know. Casey

    Victor Ford Show - Shelby Prototype

    Here is a pic of a Shelby prototype at a local dealer show. They would not open the hood (they claimed it was secret), but did crank it and it sounded sweet. I sent Jon lots of pics of the show for the gallery. Casey

    How Rare is a GT/CS & HCS

    At shows I tell people that the GT/CS was developed by Shelby, built by FORD, and more rare than a Shelby or a Boss Mustang. Here are the numbers: Number Shelbys Built from 65-70: ~13,971 Number Shelbys Built in 1968: ~4450 Number of Boss Mustangs Built ~6404 (as best as I could find, this...

    Oil Plug

    OK - dumb question. :-\ My oil plug on my GT/CS is stripped. I can only tighten it so much before it loosens - and it of course drips oil. My engine buddy says someone put a metric plug in at one time by mistake, and to just go to the auto parts store with it and get a larger one, and it will...

    Engine VIN Number

    OK - the drum roll please. I found no VIN number on my 289 block where many on the forum have found theirs - at the back top of the block just rear of the intake manifold (this has been discussed many times in other threads). I am 99% certain this is the original block - I even have the engine...

    Carroll Shelby Show

    The show yesterday was awesome! Probably 100 Shelby mustangs. 100 AC Cobras. Dozens of GLHS and Chargers. A few Tigers and Panteras. Unfortunately I could not take my GT/CS due to its #3 cylinder having problems, but there was one nice one there (only 1!). BUT, I was able to drive along...

    Lucas Covers - Wire Mesh?

    I have not seen these before - wire mesh covers? Does anyone have experience that these were used in the 60's. I have been looking for the plastic set. Casey http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7972211535&category=38661&sspagename=WDVW

    Engine Question

    I am not as good at engine work as I am at detail work on my GT/CS. So, I have a new engine problem to ask the group. My GT/CS (289) started running very rough - almost shaking the engine off the mounts, especially under acceleration. I checked around and found where the problems is, but not...

    Rough Idle

    I put this in the off topic lounge. Maybe someone has an idea to help me with my 2000GT. I am having some big fluctuation in idle that has recently started as the climate is warming up here. I notice that it appears to be dropping below 500rpm when I clutch to come to a stop and then starts...

    GT/CS Owner History

    I know I am probably asking the "Holy Grail" question here - but how do you find the owner history of your GT/CS? I have papers on the original owner, and papers on the owners from 1996 to present. But I loose the trail between 69 and 96. I cant find the original owner or 96 owner names...

    GT/CS Parts Tag - What is it?

    I was fortunate that the last owner of my GT/CS just found a box of old parts from my car from a long ago restoration. Stuff like original windlace, pop-off gas cap, ash tray, seat belts, fog light switch, dome lights, radio bezel....a big box of just a bunch of really cool stuff in zip lock...
