    Casey - isn't this your car?

    Thank you for the compliments. The pictures may be misleading - The upholstery, etc is all the same color - Parchment. I love that color. Also, the interior is standard not deluxe. If you mean the black dash and carpet, I think this is a valid combination. I will check my manuals and get...

    Two GT/CS's Built on the Same Day

    Recently Roland (karolscali) contacted me showing from his Marti report that his CS was built the same day as mine. Since both of our cars are fairly early, I checked into some of the details to see what we could learn about how the CS's were built on the line, and what ways they were ordered...

    Auto Trailer

    David - I just did a quick internet search to find the 68 range from 2600lbs to 3300lbs. I didnt pull my manuals for the specific number, and I have not had it weighed. I was just trying to get some rounded off numbers to see if I could pull trailer. Casey

    Auto Trailer

    You are right, the U-Haul center would not let me rent the car hauler - it alone is 2000lbs. As for the Highlander not being able to tow a car..... Dang.....you mean I have to now go to my wife to justify buying a trailer AND a new truck? Casey

    Casey - isn't this your car?

    Thank you. First, my car is not concourse. It is street driven, so it would not meet many MCA rules. MCA rules state that any big block or air conditioner car would have the shroud. As noted in other threads of the site, the "caution fan" sticker did not come from the factory, but was...

    Casey - isn't this your car?

    Jeff - no other CS's were there. But over 100 Shelby's and another 100 Cobras. Casey

    Crazy Ideas for celibrating 40 years of our CS's

    I did a quick mapquest. From Chicago to Denver is about 1000 miles. From LA to Denver is about 1000 miles. Houston to Denver is about 1000 miles. Denver is a good center. Except any other east coast cars would have to come farther than 1000 miles. Obviously it is 2000 miles and...

    Auto Trailer

    I am thinking about buying my own auto trailer. I am tired of renting one for shows (I missed have my CS at the Indy show because I got to the rental place the day of leaving and they only had a "bobcat" trailer waiting for me - and everything else was rented). My Highlander can only tow 3500...

    Casey - isn't this your car?

    Thanks Rich. Absolutely that is my CS. I showed it at the Shelby show in Volo again last year. I got lucky and was the first one in the line where people enter. Sorta cool to see someone taking that much interest in your car to take that many photos. As you can see, I was really "selling"...

    Crazy Ideas for celibrating 40 years of our CS's

    Bob, I would definitely do the Denver trip. Cars coming from all directions to descend on a major show, and maybe hook up with the show leaders to "nationalize" their PR for the 40th anniversary would be super. Casey

    Indy Show

    Just got back from the Mustang show in Indianapolis. Unfortunately I could not make it in the CS. My trailer situation didnt work out (it's a one way 6 hour trip). So, I took my daily driver GT convertible. I really wanted the CS on the Indy track run, but at least I got to drive on the...

    Crazy Ideas for celibrating 40 years of our CS's

    Coming from the Chicago and LA side to meet in the middle could be cool. I just dont know if the middle is in the desert or some nice town. Casey

    Things I'm looking for--for the GT/CS Book project

    The article is from Car and Driver magazine. November 1967. I have the front of the magazine and the article itself (I dont usually keep the whole magazine). The article is originally black and white. Let me know if you need a copy or what way I can be helpful. Casey

    GT/CS Google News Archives

    I joined for the 7 day trial thing. Pulled down as many ads as I could think to search on. I searched in 1968 California for GT/CS, GTCS, GT-CS, California Special, Riverside Raceway (1967) and Lee Grey. I was able to find about 12 good ads. This is cool. The only thing is having to...

    GT/CS Google News Archives

    WOW! This is a really good find! Bravo! Paul, you better take a look at these! Great for the book! The Pasadena one even quotes Lee Grey (they have him as S. Grey, but it appears their text converter is still missing letters). I would LOVE to find an add from Pasadena Motors (where my CS...

    Shoulder Belt Retainer Clips

    Wouldnt these be the same for any 68 mustang? Which ones are you looking for? The front wire clips? I have some. My car was restored without shoulder belts, and I dont plan to add them. All parts were marked and bagged from the resto. I dont mind parting with them. Which do you need and I...
