    California Special values

    In the beginning my Allstate agent took the picture. I just drove over to his office. After that, they have never asked a question. I like using Hagerty through my Allstate agent (I think he probably makes $5 off the referral, but I like working with him). Casey

    Needing help restoring 68gt/cs

    Arlie, I thought the water pump could be block color (seems like the book you posted shows that). I have also read, and been told, the power steering pump can be black or teal. Mine is teal, and I just ordered teal paint from NPD to touch it up. Super book.... When was the starter relay ever...

    Would you enjoy your GT/CS more with a manual or auto tranny?

    I would always go manual if I can. I can feel the power more. As an aside I drive a 2000GT convertible manual everyday to work - 18miles one way and about 50minutes in traffic one way. I love the manual and my leg gets a good workout. And I can beat anyone from one red light at the...

    Other Web Forums

    The only other place I go occassionally is stangplanet (http://www.stangplanet.com). It is fairly new site. The webmaster uses mostly the same format as this site, so it is easy to navigate. He has more forums, but some questions on GT/CS have come up. Casey

    Do You Feel Lonely In GT/CS Cyberspace?

    we might want to hook up, since you are so close to me. i dont have a coupe yet, but they are not too hard to find. I just want a good body coupe, and I can do all the interior/detail work, and some wiring. I will need to get a shop to help on engine, suspension/steering, brakes and then have...

    Do You Feel Lonely In GT/CS Cyberspace?

    Do You Feel Lonely In GT/CS Cyberspace?

    It seems as though many of our California family are having a great party today at the GT/CS barbecue gathering. It is too quiet on the forum. :scared: Maybe the rest of us GT/CS owners should have our own cyberspace party?:grin: Casey

    Value of original docs for CaliSpecial

    I think I said this in a similar thread. I would pay more (maybe a couple thousand more) for a GT/CS with documentation than without. Mine came with original warranty cards, manual, warranty book, service book, and build sheet. It would have been nice to have the original bill of sale, but I...

    Power Steering HP Hose Meltdown

    I have seen the use of tire at MCA shows, and it looks fine. I had to ask to know what it was. The judges didnt say anything about it either. Casey

    Racing in Fontana August 11th Results!!!!!!!!

    Holy Crap! You were fast off the line - amazing. What the heck was that little car next to you? You made that thing look like it was standing still! Congrats! I want to have my 289 rebuilt this winter and add some power (we do winter projects here in the cold north). Looks like I need some...

    Original Owner Red on Red CS on eBay

    I thought every car spits out moisture unless you live in AZ. My daily driver 2000GT will do it. The longer they sit, the more they spit. Some classic sites suggest pushing rags into the pipes during the winter (if you store your car). I havent done that. When I start my cars each month in...

    Drooping Visors

    Anyone have trouble with their sun visors not staying up while driving. Mine start drooping, and I have to keep pushing them up. I have tried crimping the metal, using electrical tape, and adding paper, and they still droop. Thoughts? Casey
