    1968 Would you like to own a T-code GT/CS?

    I couldn't agree more Rob. I had a '66 with the 200, 3-speed years ago (bought it for my wife cuz it was baby blue w/ white vinyl top). Although it was great on the open road - it wasn't much fun as a family car doing errands in our hilly area. As I recall, it averaged about 18 mpg, but as...

    ...Yeah, but what better place than Starbucks to show off your "Carbucks". Where the laptoppers leap and minivanners weep (at the sight of your beautiful CS rumbling into the parking lot :-) It's like having your own car show any day you choose! With a little polish and a humble attitude -...

    1968 Would you like to own a T-code GT/CS?

    Arlie, that is one wild child! "classicsguy", I certainly respect and admire the T-code, but if I were to own one, I would likely choose a standard coupe or convertible over the CS. To me, the CS variants preach "performance" with their scoops, lights flares and stripes. It's an elegant and...

    ...So who do you think will be First On Race Day? Not that it matters. I just think it's neat that David and Joe are both pushing the envelope (and their wallets) while providing some good ole' fashion (and legal) rivalry for all to see. Good luck and be safe you guys! Above all - have fun!!

    1968 New Book release date?

    Well if the book is as good as Ron says and it finally WILL come out - then the $100 price is already an excellent deal! Frankly, I would look forward to the post- production appreciation verses any more pre-production hype that has often been divisive and self-serving on this site and for...

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    "Go on, then, in your generous enterprise with gratitude to Heaven for past success, and confidence of it in the future. For my own part, I ask no greater blessing than to share with you the common danger and common glory ... that these American States may never cease to be free and...

    1968 How much do you pay to Register your CS?

    Stacey, Five GT/CSs, one HCS, one GT/CS cloned from a '67, one '68 standard coupe, two '69 Machs and a '70 Mach... plus the 1945 LeFrance fire truck in the classics herd. It's a pretty big job keeping "everybody" healthy, but indeed a rewarding challenge. I read your other post re; your work...

    To all those that are in the service or have been,this is to you on this Veterans Day

    Precisely HG! Now I wonder how yours would look photographed at night in front of a neon store front or classic theater marque? Might be fun to play with :-) Thanks!

    ...Wanted to share this photo taken last week along with the U.P railroad's slogan; "We're Pulling for You" in honor of all veterans who sacrifice for our freedom! I truly didn't expect the brilliant outcome and thought it was neat! Imagine the photo ops we could have if our GT/CSs had...

Others & I have PMed Amy quite alot of practical & affordable (stock) 289 solutions and she's "on it"... BIG power is still a nice dream however...
