    . Your thoughts on the new California Special book/registry

    ...If its a GT/CS, keep in mind that despite all the promotion and hype, they were not hot sellers in '68. Several of mine including an S-code went beyond six months to sell. That's also why fewer than planned were actually produced and for one year only. It's also why so little was known...

    1968 1968 GT/CS or HCS?

    ...Having both is nice, but I really don't have the preference of GT/CS vs HCS. The S-code /R-code options on either would be my preference :-)

    ...Page 47 to me, does not show a dark area around the cap, nor does it appear the cap is recessed. What I get are two separate reflections of camera flash from the different textures between the actual cap and and its outer ring. The ring reflects only at top & bottom with the remainder...

    ....Ahh! That's pretty good! :-) Apparently it still lives as I've been getting it from others not related to SAAC or here... I suppose it was nice for lawmaker types to know the reaction they'd get if they ever tried such a stunt. Good on SAAC!
