My understanding is that there is supposed to be a rubber grommet where the wires for the hood turn signals go into the hood (the round hole). I can't seem to find this part in my restoration books and catalogs. Does anyone know if this is right, and where I might find the item? Casey

Paul, This may have already been covered - sorry if I missed it. Are you using the registry on this site as information for your next book, or do we need to send something directly to you? Casey

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4528810825&category=6236 a couple of things they missed in the resto: pony emblems on fender (should be mustang) no mustang emblem on tail fin are the stripes correct? also it shows as a C code car but with a 302 sticker on...

I know this has been asked many times, and there are even pictures on the site showing where the block is stamped to match with the VIN. I have great reason to believe I have the original 289 in my car, but today was one of many attempts with a mirror to find the VIN stamping somewhere on the...

note the horse in the grill, no rear side reflectors and some huge rear wheels (i havent see these before). is it a cable release hood (note cable to right of center)? are the tail light panels supposed to be silver? ( :)just a little humor there....) nice looking car with a few...

(sorry if this gets posted twice...i think i missed it the first time) I just found out through a local mustang club that Carroll Shelby is coming to the Volo Auto Museum here in Illinois on May 28 (presumably to pitch the prototype 1967 shelby convertible recently found - the sister to 'little...

Here is an interesting brochure on ebay. Notice the nuance that it says "The West Made It Happen". My brochure (original from a dealer, and still available today on ebay) says "California Made It Happen". The oddity is that this brochure (The West Made it Happen) refers to a GTCS and not an...

When I got my CS some of the rocker panel molding clips were not holding the rocker panel molding (it flapped a bit at the front a back) on both sides. I order new clips and note they are plastic (my '66 uses metal clips). Before I start replacing non-functional clips, any advice on taking the...

Check this CS out on eBay. From Redwood City, CA - This one looks really nice for someone looking for one with a lot of history. Original sticker, recall letters, sales receipt, warranty card. The pictures are worth putting in your files - There is some really good provenance. The car just...

When I got my GT/CS at Thanksgiving and went through it, I found it had all the tail light reinforcement plates except one of the small ones. Paul describes these in his first book on page 46. These are the plates used on the CS and Shelbys to protect the unique tail lights and are metal...

I was talking with Bob Teets this afternoon and going over the new CS. After hanging up, I found a tag attached to the springs of the back seat (from inside the trunk). It is definitely an original tag, as you can see from the picture. It looks like Allen Industries of Compton, CA supplied...

Just noted Tom Elledge's HCS in the Reader's Album (last page) of Mustang Monthly. Beautiful Red! (Nice looking garage too!). Casey

Was reading the latest Mustang Times from MCA and Bill Johnson, the president, in his editorial is talking about reaching out to partner with other clubs in the mustang hobby such as the Bullitt Club, SVTOA, Shelby USA. This may be a question for Paul, Bob or Jon - But would we be more...

From what I have learned on this site and from Paul's book the pop off gas cap should not be GT, but the pony. The GT/CS car I just got has a GT pop off gas cap which I should assume is incorrect, and change out? Just checking to make sure I am correct before ordering the part. Casey

Got the new car in, but can't seem to figure out why the brake lights and horn are not working. The headlights, dash lights, blinkers and tailights all work. From Paul's 1st book it looks like the tailight harness should work the same for brake lights and tailights/blinkers, so my guess is...

The GT/CS arrived today from CA and it looks great! We had our first day of snow in Chicago (after yesterday being sunny and 50 degrees), so it saw its first and last snow. It has been great learning from everyone on this site, and I look forward to learning more now that the car is in the...

Saw the thread about argent wheels. Made me wonder - what were typical dealer installed options? Just about anything? For example, my marti report does not list center console or rear window defogger, but the car has both. Casey

I recently got a Marti report, and it lists a dealer number, 71E038, but not the dealer name/location. I do know the original owner lived in Pasadena, so the dealer would likely be in that area. Is there a way to find the dealer name? I saw a few earlier postings on the subject, but none of...

I dont have Paul's book, but was wondering - how were CT/CS's built? Were they built on the same line as other 68's, or a separate line? The history section of this site says that Shelby Automotive was involved - and I was wondering how involved they were. It appears they were not involved in...

Can you tell if a vehicle is a CS from the build sheet? I have read in the forum that you cannot tell from just the VIN, but if the build sheet were available, I wondered if this would tell you (and where on the build sheet it would tell you).
