Those are halogen lights and they tend to overheat headlight switches. If I remember correctly the turn signal flasher should be above the ignition switch towards the steering column, and the hazard flasher is way up high towards the center of the instrument cluster. Here is a photo of where...

Here is a photo of a ground strap. It attaches to the rear of the block.

The car sold for $20,000

If I'm reading this post http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/showpost.php?p=60370&postcount=9 correctly Jeff seems to be saying that different engine plants used slightly different shades of Ford Corporate Blue, so a big block may look different than a small block. Hopefully Jeff will see...

From what I've read about it and from the errors I see in the photos my guess would be $28K - $32K.

They both use the same fluid.

1981 December Hi Performance Cars Article Some of these old articles are a riot. "According to FoMoCo, production equalled just about 10,000 units....."

How much of the work can you do yourself?

Wow, I didn't see that. What a mess! I wonder if they installed tailpipes yet, or fixed the dome light. The photos on the auction are from the Fresno sale.

If he agreed to sell you the car for an agreed upon price the two of you had a verbal contract, which is just as binding as a written contract. He'd better hope you don't press charges.

If I had an extra $36,000 laying around I'd take a good long look at this one. http://www.oldtownautomobile.com/inventory.cfm?detail=1&CarID=839

Not to derail the thread too much, but Sean since you're new to the California Special world here is a book from a well known and highly respected GT/CS author you may find interesting. http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/823278

And one of the debut cars was white with blue stripes, but its rear scripts were placed higher than the ones on this car, not script placement means anything 40 years later.

You're right, it's missing both "Mustang" fender scripts. This could be a case of someone taking photos with a cell phone of a car parked on the street and passing it off as his own.

And if those are Marchal fog lights they are installed incorrectly. Look for front end damage. If it really is a 1-owner car and he's that owner he'll be able to explain what happend to the hood and the fog lights, and why the tail light bezels are incorrect (they shouldn't be painted...

Hmmm, With a white vinyl top gold stripes may be an acquired taste.

There were 337 white cars but to find out how many white J-codes were built you'll need to contact Marti. If you want to get a rough number we could do a little math and kinda sorta figure it out. Since 8% of the cars were white if we assume 8% of the J-codes were also white we get 8% of 962 or...

Here's a photo of Bob's car with the gold stripes. http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/showpost.php?p=80752&postcount=14

I wondered if it sold the first time. http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9435 Looks like it went from Fresno to the Inland Empire. Probably a flipper.
