You have done a great job keeping us all on the edge of our seats by describing the steps of your restoration. Your learnings benefit us all (thanks for the help you have given me at times). Can't wait to see the beautiful finish. Pictures please! ....we love pictures. Casey

I was paying about $400 per year on my 66 convertible with Allstate for liability only. Hagarty was $189 per year for full coverage at $20k value. I will check and see what the coverage limits were, but needless to say I switched to Hagarty (and did it through my loyal Allstate agent). I will...

Cesar, In other postings on this site I have also requested the tail light socket cover on the inside of the trunk. I am missing only one of the smaller ones too. I would be willing to purchase the Branda sockets and we could split the cost and I send one side to you. (my other alternative...

Bob - Happy for you to bid on it. I wasnt planning to bid. I just happen to catch the nuance and wondered about it - and thought you might find it interesting too. Good luck on your bid. For anyone wanting the NOS Cal Special brochure, these are still available constantly on ebay from Bill...

Here is an interesting brochure on ebay. Notice the nuance that it says "The West Made It Happen". My brochure (original from a dealer, and still available today on ebay) says "California Made It Happen". The oddity is that this brochure (The West Made it Happen) refers to a GTCS and not an...

As far as CS/GS's go, Sunlit Gold was the 5th or 6th most popular color out of about 17 color choices (Candy Apple Red was most popular). As you can see from my icon, mine is Sunlit Gold and I absolutely love the color. I have parchment(off white) interior with black appointments. You can see...

New Years Eve was kind to us in Chicago. Mid-50's with rain in the morning to wash all the salt on the roads away, and then beautiful sun-filled skies. Rare for this time of year. And so I could not help but take the CS out for her maiden voyage here since I received her Thanksgiving. Lots...

Thanks for the search tip. Lots of good info. What I learned is that Jan 1 1968 was when a shoulder belt appears to have been mandated, but not all cars got the shoulder belt, including some GT/CS's. Also I learned there are TWO "push button clips" or receptors to snap together the lap belt...

My CS does not have the shoulder belt (and the headliner does not have any holes in it). I wonder if mine were taken off in a past restoration, or did some 68's not have the shoulder belt? I looked in all my books, and they seem to imply all hardtops and fastbacks had a shoulder belt? Paul...

When I got my CS some of the rocker panel molding clips were not holding the rocker panel molding (it flapped a bit at the front a back) on both sides. I order new clips and note they are plastic (my '66 uses metal clips). Before I start replacing non-functional clips, any advice on taking the...

Dave, With only headlights on, the tail lights are not overly bright. It's a bit of a judgement call, but they look original to me. They are definitely brighter than original when braking or using turn signals. Don't know if LED's will help with the dash dimming problem - but I would expect...

Don, my question for them was about which boards were to go on the right side and which were to go on the left side, since their instructions were very clear that the boards were to be marked "R" and "L" and needed to be installed that way. Turns out the boards sent to me were marked...

Received the sequential lights from MustangProject today (I ordered the standard '3 light' version) and installed them. As advertised, they are very easy to install: just replace the turn signal relay, and then plug in the LED boards into the socket where each tail light bulb goes. That was...

I have these on mine and love the look of them - they seem to bring the fender line out more at the wheel and look great. When I got my car, Bob Teets went over it with me over the phone to discuss tips on originality and add-ons. When we got to these, he said many people added them because...

Wow - this sounds like a great experience! Getting the word out on these cars will definitely increase their desirability to the general public, and even with those knowledable in mustang ranks. I know I plan to think of similar ways to get the buzz going here in northern Illinois, since most...

Wow - looks like anything could happen....Still wondering if anyone (maybe an original owner) knows for sure their CS came with chrome wheels originally, but was NOT listed on the window sticker or Marti report. It certainly sounds likely, but wondering if someone can confirm with their car...

Does anyone out there have a known original CS or HCS with original chrome wheels that were NOT listed on the window sticker or Marti report? As Bob says, they could be ordered from the factory, but could that mean some will not show up on the window sticker or Marti report? In other words -...

Checked out the web site, and I was sold on the 3 light sequential, and the simplicity of the change (can change back to stock easy). I ordered a set and will let the forum know how it goes. Casey

Out of curiosity I asked about the wheels and exhaust (since I didnt see the GT option listed on the window sticker), and I got a very nice response back. Here it is: "....interested in the purchase of my California Special? If so you can call me with any questions at 206/498/3107 My name is...

Check this CS out on eBay. From Redwood City, CA - This one looks really nice for someone looking for one with a lot of history. Original sticker, recall letters, sales receipt, warranty card. The pictures are worth putting in your files - There is some really good provenance. The car just...
