    New Motor Trend

    Automobile Magazine did an article in their August issue "Woodward Muscle: Charger, Mustang and GTO". Scanning the article, they seem to think the most of the Mustang. The Charger they thought was pretty good (for 4 doors) but they held out for a bigger engine they say is planned for next...

    68 GT Coupe and 68 GT/CS Diecast Model

    There are two 351 engines. The 351W (for Windsor) is a small block with a lot of power and torque. The 351C (for Cleavland) is a big block and has some pretty big and unique heads on it. I have a 351W in my 66 convertible - it is the biggest engine that will fit between the shock towers...

    Here is the car in question

    From the one picture, nice car, and in the right price range. I would be tempted to snap it up if you can. The one thing to make sure - does the owner have proof (Marti Report, or Original Invoice) that this is a true California Special? I notice it has GT wheels, a GT valance, but not the GT...

    Collector Car (Magazine) Values:

    I would also be surprised to see a concourse CS at only $15k. Driver/local show quality sounds more appropriate for $15k. I have noticed the prices going up just in the last 6-12 months. Maybe it is because Jason is cornering the market ;) Casey

    hc cs parts for sale

    Interesting that the safety sticker is a Shelby Automotive one. Did the GT/CS have that (I think mine is the standard 68 mustang sticker)? Casey

    Something Every Well Dressed GT/CS Needs

    Arlie, How the heck do you keep coming up with these? ;D Next we know, we will have BIG 24k gold GT/CS gold chain necklaces like the rappers wear. Paul is missing a whole market segment. Bling, I think they call it. 8) Casey

    Happy 4th of July

    I took all three of my mustangs to our "church on the lawn" service sunday - our church's way of celebratiing the 4th by having services outside. I never knew so many people in my own church had old mustangs in their garages waiting to be restored - made for great conversations. Of course, no...

    Questions for the experts

    Also, the Marti Report would call out the GT option. Deluxe interior and HD suspension, etc. could be ordered separately. Casey

    Replacement Seat Belts

    Arlie, I have parchment interior (basically light tan seat belts). When I got the box of parts with the car, the rear belts were in the box and were almost black from dirt, grease. I took some "Greased Lightning" cleaner I bought at Sams Club and scrubed the belts with a strong scrub brush...

    How Rare is a GT/CS & HCS

    I got the numbers from different web site registries. However, using the first site Arlie sent, it looks like I may have missed something on the Boss 302 numbers. The Boss 302 registry gave me the number I stated, but the other site from Arlie says there were 8641 of them. So, a total of...

    Second Place at the MCA National in KC

    Mike - what were the questions and mood of the typical passer by about your CS? What about the judges - were they knowledable of the car? It seems like we have turned the corner of the past when people were accusing of trying to clone a Shelby, and now really do appreciate our rare cars. I...

    Engine Question

    Woo Hoo ;D ;D ;D, I solved the problem! It turns out one of the rocker arm's tiny hole for letting the oil through was clogged! So the new lifter and push rod was getting oil up to the lifter but no further. This is what was causing the loud metal clanging noise, but the engine still ran...
