I cant believe that I still havent gotten my MCA Times magazine yet. Sorta kills me to wonder what the article and pictures look like. If it isnt too much trouble to scan it in and post it here, I would appreciate it. My 15 year old daughter did the photo shoot with her new camera and they...

Thank you everyone. It is another one of my babys - and we went through a lot of rust surgery on her. Tim - you have enough stangs to fill the newstands!!! Get some of them into the spotlight and make our GT/CS's proud :grin: The sad thing is I havent even seen the article yet - my...

As an update --- I won 4 more blueprints (Marchal lights, rear fiberglass tail panel, rear drillings and plates, and rear tail light frames) in the latest auction. I also worked a deal on the side to buy many others. I have sent to Paul and he is going to incorporate into the book certain...

It would be interesting to figure out why the Shelby and XR7-G were built off-site in 1968 and the CS was factory built (at San Jose) - especially when the design, development and parts were all being done at the same time by the same people and vendors. The changes to make a coupe into a CS...

Thanks Arlie. I am bidding on these that apply to the CS (not the Cougar ones). One definitely belongs with the CS (the drawings of the rear panels) as it refers to the CS in the revisions. I already sent all the other ones in a tube and also on a CD to Paul from the first two lots I got...

Here is an interesting observation. I have noticed that if I keep my hood and trunk closed at shows, I get more lookers and questions. They can "see" the difference between the CS and a coupe. With the hood and trunk up, it is just another in the line-up and the engines are all the same. My...

Sounds like experience from the forum so far is to beat it into place. I assume you did this before you painted it. I am sorta stuck, having this one already painted. When I get her back I will have to check it out and see how much "beating" it can take. Or, I may just leave it alone. 99% of...

After having my GT/CS in Mustang Times magazine, Jason mentioned I should trade out my "old school" chrome pipes sticking out from under the rear to the GT valance and tail pipes. I resisted for a while, but in doing all the engine work I decided to make it look right. I bought an aftermarket...

It was expensive, and she is still in the shop for some tune-up tweaks, but ain't she a beauty?!?!! The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!!:grin: 347 stroker - Tri-star Engines - 355HP, 411 ft.lb torque. Vintage Shelby brushed aluminum valve covers and air...

I won all the ones on eBay and worked a deal with the seller to buy the balance of GT/CS ones as one lot - almost 40 original 1968 documents/blueprints (BP) - some BPs are 70 inches long!! They have all just arrived last week. I have been emailing with Scott (CJCougar) about what we will do...

Have other people used this option - does it make a good difference in stopping a high power car (remember, I just drive around shows and do burn outs :grin: )? My old master cylinder (manual) is dirty and could use replacement anyway, given I have painted or changed out just about everything...

OK, car is still at the shop but almost done - the 347 stroker is in, the dual-exhaust and JBA shorties are hooked up. edlebrock intake and carb are set. the 2200 stall converter, and shift kit, and trans cooler are installed, and the rear end has been changed to 3.2 gears. The brushed...

PM me with your shipping information and I will get them out to you. I only have a dozen left. $20 each and that includes shipping. Pay after you get them and are happy. casey

I know this doesnt answer your question- but just in case - Tony Branda sells replacements. Casey

I did win the lot of those I bid on. I used the program Jason suggested for snipping. It worked on a few of them that others tried to snipe at the last minute (I was fast asleep). Once I get them via the mail, I will then figure out how to get to Paul (I already spoke to him about them) and...

There is still 12 hours left to go, but I am still the only bidder (edit - there have been some recent bids...not sure from where). So, having lasted 6.5 days, I am hoping my odds are good. I spoke to Paul yesterday and even the ones he already has may be different from these - so, we could...

Tim, You may have it right. But, I doubt SAAC was headed for being a big $ program. They have had 30 years to do that. Their newsletter is still a folded up piece of paper. They are pretty much a bunch of enthusiasts, and not businessmen (disclosure - I am a member of SAAC). It is also...

Got mine too. Very nice. Love the shot of the late model CS. David Athans - You made the calendar - GREAT DRAG RACE SHOT - you da man!!! I will let you know when I get my CS back with the 347 stroker soon (I went with the JBA shortys Robert suggested). I should be able to leave some REAL...

This is the answer I got - he seems to be a really nice guy. "Hello Casey-I did list these as cepias and or a blue print from a cepia. They are quite old and from Ford's engineering dept. Lets say I have a friend [a retired Ford employee} that at the time saw an oppourtunity to save some...

I dont want to address any personal issues between Shelby and Kopec. However, in my corporation role I deal with hundreds of multi-million dollar license contracts every year in an approval role. All Shelby's points were straight out of "contract 101" law school, and were most certainly...
