The stripe shown on the report are the pinstripes along the tops of the fenders. As far as we've been able to figure out the GT/CS stripe color matches the interior. It's possible to have a car with white pinstripes, a white vinyl top, and black GT/CS stripes, if it has a black interior...

Yes, it should definitely be red oxide primer with areas of body color overspray. I’ll look later for some good examples.

After reading Steve's post I guess I do have an opinion on the resale value. As usual, I agree with Steve......but for a different reason. If I'm looking to purchase a GT/CS and I find out it's been stroked to a 347 I tend to walk away because I don't know how what else has been done to the...

I don't know about the resale potential but if you want to make sure it's the original engine you can look for the VIN on the rear of the engine, just behind the intake manifold. I'm sure Rob will comment on the engine build!!

Ralph ran across this car (Marti Report) in Oregon. It's the earliest red car with black hood stripes we've found and it is loaded. I wonder if it's the stage car in the attached photo. This also makes the 25th early car that Marti doesn't acknowledge as a GT/CS.

Welcome to the site! If you don’t have the Marti report for your car let me know and I’ll send it to you. Also, check out the 2020 Calendar thread

The car is now consigned to Gateway Classics. $71,000 That seems rather high for a car with what I consider errors. Minor errors that can be fixed but errors just the same. https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/LVS/213/1968-Ford-Mustang-California-Special I like the front seats!

Sort of; my motive wasn't entirely altruistic. My ego certainly enjoyed knowing that the person would show the calendar to all his or her friends and relatives, and brag that he saw one of the cars.

When I took road trips in my car I’d also take ten or so calendars with me and give them to people, normally at gas stations, who were fascinated with the car. It got a little expensive but I enjoyed making their days so I didn’t mind the cost. Any extras I had after the trips went to people...

That car, and owner, gave me a bad feeling from the start. There are definitely some good points to it but it also has the potential to be a major money pit. Did the seller ever say whether the engine is seized? There must be a reason why he hasn’t tried to start the car. Arlie (Bjabby)

The owner of this car wants it out of his shop so he'll sell it for $25,000. My car-buying mission is on hold so I'm going to have to pass on it.

The reverse lockout is great!

Definitely a GT/CS, along with at least a dozen others.

I’ve driven all of mine, except one which I sold because it was too nice to drive. For me driving a car like that was far too stressful.

The stud is probably spinning inside the housing. Try pushing up on the light by placing a plastic or wood wedge between the light and the pedestal. It may help to hit them with some penetrating fluid and let them sit overnight before you proceed.

This was Rhonda’s car. If you look closely you’ll see there is no headliner. Pretty steep price for an incomplete car.

The owner of this car and I are still talking, and have more or less agreed on a price, but I'll need to sell one or both of my cars before I buy it. The greatest challenge/problem with the car is its lack of power. I can do the basic tasks like carb, timing, and electronic ignition but I'm...

When one welds a convertible onto a coupe.

‘69 covers are available but it’s my understanding that they won’t fit on ‘68 headrests.
