Paul - I cant say this respectfully enough - We are here for you! Whatever you need, let us know. Please dont be discouraged by other's opinion (including my own). The internet is an easy way for anyone to voice opinion, but the REAL work is what you do, and you have the RIGHT to include what...

I believe that the Cosby car you are talking about would be Little Red (another prototype coupe with 428CJ and Paxton super charger). The Green Hornet was not supercharged and ran average top speed of 157mph. I couldnt find anything about either car topping 200mph. Paul is THE expert on this...

The first photo is exactly the same one used in Paul's article on the green hornet in Mustang Monthly Nov 94. The rest of the photos look correct as well. (though only Paul would know for sure if it is a clone - if it is a clone, it is a near perfect one). As for Cosby, Paul's article says...

Steve, don't be sorry for starting the poll. I didnt make it a secret that I supported the idea of having GT/CS become a registry or part of SAAC. I appreciate your joining me in asking others what they thought. That is what makes us all a family on this site - being able to ask questions and...

The Marti Report doesnt have to be the only way to show authenticity for the registry. One could also provide Paul with a window sticker, or invoice or some other way to authenticate the vehicle. If none of those other things are available, the basic Marti report is only $17 - less than dinner...

This question brings up a question on my CS that has always had me wondering. My CS was built Feb 21, and it has the knee pad we are discussing, and it looks every bit original - but it does NOT have the pillar pads (which is consistent with what I have read and talked to Bob Teets about -...

Thanks for all the input - you guys are great. "To grommet or not to grommet", that is now my question. I credit Bob Teets for the question, because he asked me if mine had one when I was talking to him about my car. I would think this is also a question for all early 68 mustangs (not just...

Here is my idea which is a grouping of the others: 1. Have the registry (book and online) only include Marti confirmed (or other documented evidence - window sticker, etc) to VIN. Have the owners provide the evidence. 2. For those vehicles already in the registry (book and current...

My understanding is that there is supposed to be a rubber grommet where the wires for the hood turn signals go into the hood (the round hole). I can't seem to find this part in my restoration books and catalogs. Does anyone know if this is right, and where I might find the item? Casey

Holy smokes! I am going to look in my dresser to see if I kept any of my old ones (unfortunately too many of mine went into the sand box, saw a firecracker, or went through that really cool battery powered hot wheels car wash that shot them back onto the track). Casey

Here are the pictures and the caption: Casey The 450-horsepower, supercharged 5.4 liter V-8 will outperform the current SVT Cobra Mustang, which goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and tops out at 155 mph, according to a spokesman for Ford.

I found this quote when poking through the SAAC site about the Tiger. Is it a stretch to say Shelby (or Fred) built the first GT/CS (or GT/SC)? Little Red and Green Hornet seem to meet that statement? "When SAAC was started, the cars it catered to were the ones that Carroll Shelby built...

Rhonda, I tell my wife how much I (we) spend. I must say that I am very blessed to have a mate to support my interests. For my 66 convertible, we bought it together in 2002 for $16k (show driver quality), and I just shared with her that the total is now up to $32k (gulp) - That does not...

Brian, I agree with your point of view. The history is there to support the connection for the GT/CS and HCS. (BTW, how is the Tiger history connected to SAAC?). Remember to use the survey that Steve set up to vote. Casey

Hook, I spoke to this in my email on the SAAC vote. I am with you on this not being about $ value of the cars. My GT/CS is priceless to me. For that matter, so is my 66 convertible. That said, I think the GT/CS and HCS breed are not well known (and would be unknown were it not for Paul's...

There are two types of value - personal and market. As Hook said market value is not as important to some of us, as the personal value of an item is mostly above market value (like your grandmother's piece of furniture she left you). Market value is what people are willing to pay on the open...

Paul wrote an great article on the restored Green Hornet in Mustang Monthly in 1994. He helped with a lot of that restoration as I understand from the article. So, there are some great color pictures of the Hornet restored in that article. A very nice (and rare) car. Casey
