Here is what you are looking for. I have dealt with Dodgerbillp on eBay several times and he is always good. Casey http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-NOS-FORD-MUSTANG-GT-CS-CAL-SPECIAL-DLR-BROCHURE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ34220QQitemZ8018482578QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

I finally got my hands on the 1988 Shelby American magazine #53 from eBay which has the interview with Fred Goodell, chief engineer at Shelby, and creator of "Little Red". It is a very good article, but relating to this thread here is a piece I found interesting - quoting from the article...

I think he means the run down the Marti does of "your car is 1 of 1" report. Its a basic run of statistics to determine what your car is the only 1 of. Mine was silly - it was the only sunlit gold coupe with GTCS with parchment interior with 289 with auto trans with deluxe wheel covers with...

As best as I can tell having researched the history of my GT/CS (but being the 4th owner) the Marti Report is correct, but mine was a plain factory 289 made in february along with many others most likely, so not too much for the statistics to get wrong. Casey

After 4 months of waiting, I finally got my Elite report. I guess the expectations for my $220 were too high. I think you would do just as well to get the deluxe report for $45, and the window sticker from mustangstickers.com for $35. The rest with the Elite Report is a door tag (which I...

This GT/CS spent it's entire life in Pasadena, CA where it was bought at Pasadena Motors in 1968. It came to Illinois in November 2004 where it saw its first snow before being quickly loaded into the garage. Have original build sheet, original manual and original warranty cards. Also have...

New versions can be bought from several Mustang parts dealers (let me know it you are interested and want to know their names) for about $100. NOS or originals are pretty hard to find. In fact, when I was looking to replace my GT center hubs with plain center hubs, I found the GT center hubs...

Russ - I would totally agree with you that a GT/CS is not a Shelby. But, it does have a Shelby heritage as it was prototyped by Shelby Automotive (Little Red), and developed by Shelby Automotive for FORD. Advertising of the day noted it as "Shelby Inspired". So, we can safely say that the...

I had my passenger visor in my GT/CS signed by Carroll. Easy to take off, have him sign, and put back up. Casey

Paul's first book, and his research for it, does a great job of explaining the Shelby influence on the California Special. 1. The CS was inspired by the Little Red coupe prototype Fred Goodell of Shelby American had built and displayed. 2. Shelby decided not to build it. Lee Grey from CA...

Danny, you are right. I went back and looked at the Mustang Monthly December column by Bob Perkins and it says the C7ZZ antenna (round base) is the correct one. (The language and picture in the article is a little confusing, and the picture they chose is obviously not Jason's car). So, from...
