    Vanity Plates

    Our new plate says SWEET-CS. The old one said GT68CS :P

    Need your input: Paul Newitt writing a new GT/CS Recog. & Owner's Manual

    I agree with Don. I think the registery should be included in the book along with the listed cars authenticity varified. Like Don, my book is displayed with my car at all the shows. It comes in very handy because admirers and car show judges alike keep asking me if it's real. Perhaps you...

    Daily drivers, weekend drivers, annual drivers?

    Our mustangs get driven on weekends to car shows and other outings during the summer months. I will drive the CS to work on occasion if the weather is nice and if there is room to park it inside the building. I have to agree with Mark. The wisest thing to do is restore it to it's stock...

    ADMIN - Vote for the 2005 Calendar!

    Kudos Jon. You masterminded this beautifully. And you are right, every one of the photos (and cars) is an outstanding work of art. Just a suggestion...... How about putting the car with the most votes on the cover? That way 13 cars can actually be chosen. I was going to start sucking up to...

    Ford Employee Discount

    Thanks for the offer Tom. We are "A" plan ourselves. My Dad and sister work at EEE. I just took the wife out to the dealer today to order her new Freestar. It's not as cool as the CS, but will do fine for her. Nicholas

    ADMIN - 2005 Calendar of our cars?

    My photographer was here today and took some really great pictures of our Mustangs here at the local golf course. I will forward the CS's pictures no later than Tuesday. Just an idea.......... How about filling in the Calanders dates with important Mustang notables and events? Things like CS...

    Sounds great. How do we get started?

    Why 1968 is better than 2005

    Great piece of writing Paul. 2 "thumbs up" from me as well. This is an era where cars are designed around safety and ergonomic correctness. Style,looks and personality are now an afterthought to todays automotive engineer. The 68 CS and HCS Mustangs should no longer be considered cars, but...

    Fired up the new engine!

    If the neighbors are complaining, you know it's done right! We had the same exprience over here last week. We dropped a Holman Moody 429scj into our 67 Restomod Coupe and fired it up for the first time (with no exhaust on it yet). The neighbor 3/4 of a mile away called wanting to know what the...

    For Paul.....Registry book question.

    Thanks Paul. I already thought of having it restored at Kinko's, but did not know what the legalities were. I didn't want to step on any toes. Taking it there this week.

    For Paul.....Registry book question.

    Hi Paul, My white 1996 registry book is in need of a new front and back cover. The rest of the book is intact, but the cover is tearing at the binder rings and curling around the edges. I use the book as a car show prop and want it looking good. Let me know about price and availability on these...

    New LED taillights for California Special

    I would have to agree with Jayscal. It does sound like a poor grounding problem. Reinspect the harness and check the connections where you tapped in the D sticks. When applying the brakes, Both lights should sequence from the inboard lights, out. Nicholas

    Need some smart peoples views

    If you are serious about paying out that kind of money for a classic Mustang, the first thing you want to do is invest in a Marti Report. (See this website for the info) Be sure it is a true GT/CS. Also, try to find out as much history on the car as you can from the current owner. It is wise...

    GT hubcaps

    I stole a bottle of the wife's "Bright Red" nail polish (which is enamel also). That was 3 years ago and they still look great!

    1968 Salvage Title Value

    In my state (Michigan) a salvage title is branded to the car when it is damaged beyond it's replacement value. However, this does not necessarily mean the car has been wrecked. If a car is stolen and stripped, the replacement parts could exceed the cars value. This is determined by the insurance...
