    1968 My GT/CS Purchase!

    ...Hey Nate, I'm not a bit surprised at that offer :-) I think you have one of the best engineered (for fun, sound, performance & winning appeal) GT/CS packages I have ever seen! It's a nice feeling to see strangers share your enthusiasm that way. 'Neat!

    ..."Poor man's Shelby" indeed! How often do you see Shelbys running around town on errands? I try to stay as "poor" as I can... It wouldn't be much fun being "rich" in our case ;-)

    ...Hate to break it to you Mike, but I did multiple "triple digit" passes on a sprint to get coffee early this AM. With about 400 miles on the 390 and everything running good, I couldn't resist. 'Rapid, smooth acceleration & gentle decell after a few hill climbing "ring setting" runs over the...

For paint match - they have a computer program that scans the existing color and formulates a perfect match, so no need to cross refer paint recipes or trial & error...
