    ...Nah, CJ doesn't have to do that! My guess is that people are clicking his gallery to see what a well cared for, one-owner CS looks like :-) Any show I attended w/ CJ present has seen the rest of us standing around while HE grabs all the honors!!! ;-))

    WTB: 1968 GT/CS in Calif.

    ...Full value offer and the fact I have 10 other Mustangs. If he chooses another, I would only do it for a considerable profit over what I paid. It's all up in the air at this point... Yes - "undecided" ;-)

    WTB: 1968 GT/CS in Calif.

    Hmm... It would be interesting to know where yours is today Mike. Below are a few pics of mine. I have a guy coming by tonite who is very serious about buying it. It's not for sale, but he's pushing real hard! I don't want to lose the S-code, so I may see if he wants one of the others... I...

    Rear windows will not roll all of the way down?

    WTB: 1968 GT/CS in Calif.

    Mike, do you have or remember the VIN # of your car? Mine is 8R01S169388, sold in Kansas City and resided in Denver where I bought it. I love it and and have real reservations about letting it go, but the offer exceeds what I paid for it three years ago....'just don't know yet.... ;-O I'm...

    Big Trouble!...

    ...Fired her up today and she's running real SWEET! Are there special break-in tips to consider? Right now we have straight SAE 30 which I intend to put only a few hours on before draining and screening. The rebuilt C4 worked good through the gears as well once the torque converter filled up...
