    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    Hey fellas - a long time since I have been on here. I picked up a 68 x-code GT/CS about 10 years ago with the intent on restoring it. I haven't got to it and would like to see it get to someone who would care about it. The car is in rough shape as it is an original SLC dealer car - all the...

    A Numbers Game

    OK - Very interesting. I got a thought provoking email from our good friend HC Bob. Let me see if I can do this justice: Originally 5,500 GT/CS's to be produced - that number was trimmed down to (if I remeber right) 4,500 and then 4118 GT/CS's were actually produced. Of those 4,118 produced...

    Cobra Dragon Snake

    I thought this was kind of funny (notice the year and engine size). I was at a local car show last week end and saw this sign. It makes me wonder if any of the sign is true. I didn't post a photo of this, but the "original paint" has the owner's name painted on it too...hmmm.

    Argent?!?!?!

    Does anyone know ANY color code (DuPont, Ditzler, etc) of the argent for paint used for steel wheels, shelby tail light panels, etc? I have been looking for a long time and keep coming up with dead ends. Many books refer to the color, but never a code. Thanks!!!

    darn - I missed it...

    One heckuva discussion that went on about the stang that ended up in the drink. I am just sorry that I missed it as I have thoughts too. Anyway, I am glad to see that no guns were fired off. Just one thing on value, value is in the eye of the beholder. I think that sometimes we all get a...

    Now this is a 4X4!!

    Well I finally dug out the old photo album and scanned the photos in of this VERY RARE GT/CS ;). I know the one posted earlier was an enlarged photo of a small B/W print. Here is a color photo. I have the 4 photos taken of this beast in Feb '93 in the Gallery. Enjoy!!

    Marchal Bracket Rivets

    Anyone know where one can pick up the semitubular rivets and a hand rivet setter for the Marchal Fog light brackets? I have seen too many restored GT/CS's with pop rivets. Thanks! Bryce

    Rebodied or Not

    OK, I know I have been kicking this color thing around too much and I hate to bore you with something that I am only troubled with. In my attempts to interpret what went on at the factory and the color of this car, I had a discussion with a Gold Card Judge. This is his response... "If the...

    To be or not to be color

    I am not sure how many of you read my other post on the color question, but thought some of you might be interested to know what I found out. Marti reports indicated that my car, as far as Ford was concerned, is Diamond Blue, even though painted white. In a conversation with Paul (the...

    Under body color

    Anyone out there with an original GT/CS that could verify the underbody color? We have a local debate going on on this subject. I am pretty sure that the Dearborn and Metuchen underbodies were painted black or oxide (?) but there is some thought that the San Jose plant painted the underbody...
