Muscle Machines magazine this month came out with a price guide for 60's Fords. The California Special was listed in all engine types except 6cyl and 289 (I guess they missed C codes being the most prolific engine). The price guide was WAY out of line. I dont have it here with me at work, but...

David - your car is awesome. The look of both together is priceless. I didn't see it mentioned, but the blue car gas cap is the twist on type - to be correct it should be the pop-down type. This may be one reason it looks so inset into the panel. Casey

Someone asked for what a scoop looked like with a witness line, and without a witness line. Since I have one of each, here they are. No witness line on the left. Witness line on the right. Click on picture to make larger. From the picture with the witness line on the right, you can see the...

BTW - I did the bid while Jason was writing his post - ie, our ships crossed in the night. Jason, if you work something out with the seller, then great. I have no attachment to winning the tags. Casey

I bid on them. I figure it is the cheapest California Special I will ever own, and it can RIP in my garage with my other one. The seller seems to have the right intentions. Casey

what do you guys use to clean the underside, and what is the best way to remove undercoating (lots of it)? Casey

Go Sunlit Gold! Casey

I dont know Don - I think you should let everybody know about the 428. You've got the original 390, so originality is not the issue. You will have a heck of a car with a 428 and the original 390 sitting at home. Just me - but I would show off the 428 after going to all the trouble. It...

I really wanted that one, but I hesitated. I should have bid on it. :cry: I think you got a great deal and this is the best restomod style GT/CS I have seen! The 428 makes it way awesome.:cool: I can't wait to see pictures of it there, and with those cool license frames you...

That is really nice looking and compliments your plates really well! Many of you have been sending me very nice notes through the mail and email about your frames. Thanks so much - You are a great "virtual" family connected by these rare Mustangs. I have plenty HCS and GTCS license frames...

I would take a t-shirt and a polo. I would, of course, want Sunlit Gold. I like the GT/CS, California Special design on the left. Casey

Joe, Thanks so much! Oh well, another dealer no longer with us, footnoted in history. Casey

Do you have a VIN? Casey

Cool - the NADA prices line up pretty well with my Fair, Good, and Excellent 2006 guesses. Concourse is another class altogether. The prices I guessed are base - no options. So, should we go with the NADA prices for Fair, Good and Excellent - or should they be higher? Maybe concourse...

Here you go. There wasn't much GT/CS to see in this picture. But since you asked, here it is. Casey

So, a week has gone by, and still no word that a 2007 GT/CS was at the Super Bowl. I searched and searched and finally found just a small nugget..... I found some pictures with Vida Guerra standing in front of the 2007 GT/CS at a pre-game party. Now, as I tell my wife with my Mustang...

Well, let's start with the base prices (the base descriptions are still valid): 2003 Poor: 3,500 2006 Poor: 3,500 2003 Fair: 5,500 2006 Fair: 8000 2003 Good: 8,000 2006 Good: 14,000 2003 Excellent: 10,000 2006 Excellent: 27,000 2003 Concourse: 14,822 2006 Concourse: 36,000 I would tend to...

Should we update the price guide for new viewers of our site? The last one is 3 years old. I would suggest that good, excellent and concourse would be 2X the 2003 numbers? Some of the options would be 2X also? Casey http://www.californiaspecial.com/priceguide.htm

Just to add to the mystery, my mid-Feb built car has the knee pad, and not the pillar pads. Maybe they were running out of certain parts before others. Casey
