    Whose 390 CS is this on Ebay?

    Ye'aaahh.......But they're not ready for a museum just yet. Besides, I would have to spend as much time washing & waxing floors and maintaining Dust Busters where fire extiguishers usually go etc... Then what sort of admi$$ion would you charge? One of our pilot friends suggested "adults -...

    Yeah, I'm spoiled that way too. 'Can pretty much drive year round here save for an occassional 6-8" snow flury that melts away quickly. Grass Valley, CA...

    A Red "Green Hornet"???

    ...I can only surmise he likes the red color as well as the total Shelby feature in a coupe. Strange - but quite a few coupes have been done lately complete with Shelby letters on the trunk lid, GT-350, 500 and 500KR stripes et-al (some w/ roll bars) and have been maketed as Shelby clones...

    Whose 390 CS is this on Ebay?

    How Rare is your 68 CS/HCS ?

    Maybe "somethingspecial" can shed some light on this because if my memory serves; his is a factory "tilt only" wheel that doesn't swing out of the way.

    So Cal Car & plane Show 10/29

    ...A Chevy engine might be okay Lisa - we'll just have to keep it hush ;-) He spoke of a February gathering that will have Unlimited Air Racing as the theme and will display racing P-51s as well as vintage. 'Hard to say whether I can be there or not, but please do contact him and arrange a time...

    So Cal Car & plane Show 10/29

    It's a done deal! Not only will you be allowed to pull up & take pictures w/ a P-51, but you will likely be asked to be on display (multiple cars) roped off in front of the '51 as a display during one of their air shows! The guy was really enthused when I told him they were California Specials...

    18" Wheels on a '68 Coupe

    ...Scary indeed! I've had to repair shock towers (in my youth) with braces on. 'Lots of winding poorly slanted roads here. Interesting... As for the wheels - I'd never do that to a real CS, but as this is a restomod - those wheels help to take it beyond confusing this car as the real deal...

    So Cal Car & plane Show 10/29

    Oh. there's at least 3 restoration shops there including Aero Traders of whom I sold a bunch of WWII B-17 and B-25 parts to... I know I can make the call & arrange it for you if you really want, but I likely won't be there with a CS. I could maybe coincide it w/ a business trip tho... would...

    Possible So. Calif. GT/CS get together?

    ...That's right - now deal with it!! And if you have so many "beyond regulars" in your hip pocket for whom you say you have to speak for - then perhaps you should start your own (gated community) website! You might also "think about it" when it comes to wanting to be the only guy who sells...

    So Cal Car & plane Show 10/29

    Lisa, I know some So. Cal. warbird owners where a car/ plane photo can be arranged sometime if you want. There are numerous P-51 Mustangs at Chino & Van Nuys airports. The Planes of Fame museum in Chino would likely acommodate you for the asking. Several restoration shops there often have...

    'Had to do it!...

    Well, upon adding the new T/A Radials, we put about 100 miles on her yesterday. She's good to go anywhere!... 13.5 miles to gallon, but w/ secondaries open frequently on the freeway. 'Went by and saw Officer Mike who brought me up to date on his 390 GT/CS restoration... 'Says I need to be...

    Possible So. Calif. GT/CS get together?

    ...Very well Joe. I'll instead pair you up w/ some fair "top end" competition after hearing one of your Interstate 5 encounter stories... 'Problem is - you have to show up at Mojave Airport instead of LACR to race. ;-)
