  1. Q

    Radio Antenna

    If I am not mistaken, all San Jose cars came with round bases only. One of the small clues in identifying a real CS. Can anyone else varify this? Nicholas

    Well it's finally going to happen!!!

    Don, Congrats and welcome to the family. Get us some more details and pix as soon as you get some. It's always a treat to see an unknown CS come out of nowhere. Also, I think I can speak for everyone here, a big "THANK YOU" for protecting our country. Your service is not taken for granted here.

    Console Fix

    That looks great Paul. I repaired mine the exact same way last year when the metal tabs began to show. It almost looks factory.

    Rocker Molding Clips, again

    Casey is correct. You have to slap them on with the palm of your hand. The really stubborn ones will need a good punch with the back side of your fist. I just installed a set on a customers 67 yesterday. My baby finger still hurts!

    Classic Car Insurance

    I am currently paying $215.00 per year through my Farm Bureau agent for 8 driving months and 4 storage months. $250.00 ded. The full coverage policy insures the CS for $20.000 and will replace any part that is OEM with another OEM part. Any aftermarket parts that are damaged would be replaced...

    GTCS Brochure (HCS?)

    I just wanted to reiterate what Casey stated earlier.... For those of you wanting original dealer brochures and promo posters for you CS, Bill P is the man. I have purchased quite of few things from him over the years and he is trustworthy and pleasant to work with. He had a pic of my car...

    GT/CS Restoration video

    The guys and I here in the shop are enjoying huge belly laugh after reading this jokers last post. I think I was just accused of being a "shadetree mechanic"! My licenses, certifications, awards, and other credentials fill 3 walls of this place. Careful guys, I don't know much about cars...

    GT/CS Restoration video

    I have been viewing this thread for a few days now and can stay silent no longer. I have been in the body shop business for over 15 years. In that time, I have restored enough basket case mustangs to fill a car lot. The truth is...... any information this video may provide can be obtained by...

    Grundy

    Mark, Are you happy with Great American? I just read thier ad in a classic car mag and am considering calling them for a quote. My Mustangs are insured with Farm Bureau at the moment and I just got a letter from them about a price increase coming in January. Advise please. Nicholas

    Grundy

    I have heard of Grundy, but have never done any business with them. I have been in the body shop business for many, many years and I always give my customers the same advice....... Insurance is like anything else, you get what you pay for! People that use cut rate insurance companies like Geico...

    Vinyl top option: Will it be in Marti Report?

    The vinyl top option is on my CS's deluxe report as well. However, my old 68 coupe had a dealer installed vinyl top and chrome GT wheels. Neither showed up on the deluxe Marti report. The car was purchased new from Al Long Ford in Warren Michigan. The wheels came over the parts counter, and the...

    ebay car

    The front clip reminds me of one of those Amphicars from the 50's that goes in the water. A big propeller on the back, a life preserver on the hood, and you have the perfect replica!

    ADMIN - Vote for the 2005 Calendar!

    Congrats to everyone. Who gets the honor of being on the cover? (side note) I think the black CS is incredible! It was my first choice when voting. I think this idea was brought up before, but may be worth repeating.... Maybe we could have the owners name, city and state on or below the photos...
