I tried the laser level and could not get it to work on the scoop when aligning it to the door. I ended up having to do the masking tape on the scoop, and eyeball it. Maybe I goofed and don't know how to use a laser level, or all I could figure is the scoop is protruding out compared to the...

I'm with Jason and Doug on this one. I was surprised that Mach 1 was the highest. They just came out with the Mach 1 remake a few years ago. Thus, it comes down to exposure - more people have heard of the Mach 1, Boss and Bullitt (another recent mustang offering a few years ago) than they...

I bought a passenger vent frame and window off ebay for 30 bucks - used. It is probably quite easy to find it on ebay cheap. Here is just one I found when searching...

The Mustang was the first "pony car" as it's name implies and was picked up on by the other auto manufacturers later (Camaro, Firebird, Challenger, etc). To this I dont think there can be any argument. I think it was Shelby that said the Mustang was a "secretary's car", and so it took him to...

Congratulations Jon! God Bless, Casey

I lived in Fort Worth for 4 years...and have to say the blue bonnet flowers grow everywhere and are beautiful. They are a great reminder of my time in Texas. I have a painting of them over my mantle hear in Illinois. So, I see where they got the color name Blue Bonnet from. Casey

Photos of the camaro and the challenger are on the cover of Automobile Magazine that I just received yesterday. The camaro doesnt impress me - no retro. The Challenger is actually quite tempting - it looks so much like the old Challenger. Casey

From the thread where I welcomed Scott, he provided some info from his Marti Report there. I encouraged him in the thread to take a digital picture of it and load it into his gallery. Casey

Interesting that neither Scott's CJ nor this one were ordered for California (Scotts was Oregon). Also interesting that Scott's CJ was built within 2 days of this one (Scott's built on 5/15). Lastly Scott's was a retail sell (a customer order) and this one is a stock sell (a dealer order)...

nice original. could you post the marti report if you have it?

Try to make the Carroll Shelby Show at Volo this year - June 3. I already registered my CS, and they register them as Shelbys for the show (only $20). You get to meet Carroll and get a real autographed dash plaque (well worth many times the registration fee). Plus you get to see some amazing...

Here is a picture of a Marchal light on a Shelby, and a Lucas light on a Shelby from a SAAC site explaining the differences. The Marchal is on cylinder posts, and the Lucas is on square posts. Casey

Interesting. At the Carroll Shelby show there were a number of Shelbys with the square posts. Here are a couple of pictures. There are others I took in the old Gallery, under Shelby Show. Casey

I have seen a couple CS's with the square chrome posts and wondered if this was an original dealer mistake or a bad restoration. I like the cylinder post better on the CS, as it was intended. Casey

I see the seller has added new information that this is an HCS. I wonder why so much effort was put into making an HCS into a GT/CS? Even a nice poster made to go with it. Bob T., how many HCS's do you know are still alive out of the 251? Casey

Nice car. Looks like it was originally a manual, converted to automatic. Casey

I had a little trouble tracking this one down. S code does exist, and is Allen Park, MI. It is an R&D facility for FORD, and some pre-production cars are built there, and may be promoted, and then sold later through a dealer. The real way to tell is to check the rest of the VIN for the date...

Scott, If you have a digital camera, you can take a picture of the Marti Report and post it in your gallery. We are very excited to have you join the site with so few "R" codes out there. We have had trouble discerning how many R code GT/CS's there were (very few, since the R code came later...

I just noticed that Scott Adams posted a GT/CS 428 today in the gallery. Welcome Scott. Do you have a deluxe or elite Marti report on your car? - If so, we would love for you to post a picture of it as well. We have been eager to learn more about the R code GT/CS. Casey

I wonder how old the pictures are. When I was 16 and had no money, I did some pretty 'ugly' things to my ride thinking it would make it cool (or different looking). Looking back at them now, I can't believe I did them - Things like drilling holes in the trunk to put a wing on the back...
