    ...Well, there's little more rewarding than the casual gatherings and symposiums that are along the lines of your book, Cory! You set the table for a wonderful "California Special Way of Life"! Now with kind hearted ambassadors like Robert & Renee, we'll go a long way to insure "GT/CS" is here...

    1968 Another Cal Special spotted in Sacramento area

    Way to go Sarge! The one Renee chased down was a long-time owner from Roseville area as well :-) http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8814 Amy, Aside from a mother / daughter here in Grass Valley in a red w/ black top, I never see them driving around either. Once in awhile a...

    1968 LED lights for front turn signals and others question.....

    Neil (or anyone), What is the precise recipe you used for converting GT/CS turn signals & brake lights to LED ie: correct flashers, resistors, etc...? I tried the bulbs sometime back, but as stupid is what stupid does - 'felt rather stupid when they didn't flash. I know I could research it or...

    1968 What do you like the most about the 1968 Mustang?

    Interesting question in that I'm having to think... Personally, I never really paid much attention to them in the old days unless they were Shelby or GT/CS. I think it was because there were so many around (like 65 & 66s) and I was for the most part a 69 - 70 Mach & Boss fan. Nowadays, with...

    Gone, but not forgotten.

    Arlie, if I remember right, Gibson (worlds tallest dog) passed away last summer. We had occasionally seen him on walks and heard about him quite a lot until that time...

    2007+ 2012 GT California Special - It's confirmed by Ford

    ....Likely..... ;-) It certainly looks to be an exciting and popular package and though... I'm curious now what you all think of its continuance. Do some still wish it was produced as a 2007 only? Just curious....

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    Well, from what I saw of Truman - YOU would be happy Cory, because he's the perfect "snuggle bug" to keep you warm ;-) And I know....weather....but you will all have your days next spring & summer with shows, gatherings and outings with ME being the jealous one (up to my a$$ in air shows)...

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    Wow, Thanks Oscar, Rob and Paul! Indeed, Renee's car is the top banana of the bunch! We were too busy on Sunday for our photo shoot, but made a lot of mechanical and detailing progress. TJ worked hard as well while others came by to meet Truman (Renee's new pooch ;-) Weather permitting...

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    Jon, if I were to average for the whole year, I would say about 3-4 days per month. Larger projects like engine swaps that command a week or more of weekends & evenings, balance some winter months where nothing is done. As you know, I acquired these cars in already great shape and drive them...

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    Amen Marty! And the switch you sent us fits & functions perfectly! 'Wish we did it ourselves the first time instead of paying $200 to have the old one cleaned and talked about (by a guy reputed to restore cars for competition...)

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    Steve, I'm sorry about your freezing rain and the snow throughout the country, but you and the rest of the gang will be present (in spirit) as you were in Oct. 2009! After some minor fixes (including a fresh 4300 carb on the Black car), we're going to drive 'em, then update the photo albums as...

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    ... at last with a week of beautiful weather in Northern CA. De-hibernation and maintenance on C, J and S-codes, HCS and Machs will augment final preparation on Renee's car for Sacramento's "Autorama". 'Can't wait to take 'em all for a spin! Join us if you're in the area :-)

    ...Or perhaps you can say your car didn't come with a plate. Rather the little-known, post-dealer optioned; "Exhaust Atomized, Valve Cover Base to Starter & Clutch Lubricator"... With so many other claims not showing up on Marti reports, I'm sure we can snow the most meticulous of judges, No...

    1968 Original "X" code california special w/ Tach?

    ...That's somewhat been my point for some time, Rob. Who can say for certain that "funky nassau" wasn't an option when it comes to the entire '60's Mustang line? ....A "secretary's car" that also became a racer (and everything in between) thanks to Iaccoca, Shelby, the factory and ultimately...
