    '68 GT/CS ??? on eBay

    I agree in that we should critique every CS that goes up for sale, however we should do so with some dignity and respect the fact that the seller may not know anything about the car, if we approach it as trying to help not only the consumer but the seller as well we will gain a lot of respect as...

    '68 GT/CS ??? on eBay

    I will add that his add appears to me to be well represented as he has stated. I read it when this post was first put up and my thought was it was pretty straight forward with lot's of pictures. I think we all continually encourage people to make cars into what they want which is what he is...

    . Got to meet Midnight Special!!

    So funny that you question if anyone noticed the rubber bands, I was just going to ask if you blew the rear view mirror off on the way down and had to use rubber bands to hold it on. Cory

    1968 Our CS/HCS Book

    Special thanks to David Ivener Like we didn't already know this but we sure have a great group here. I'd like to give a "Special" thanks to David Ivener. In my effort to make the book as valuable (emotionally not $$) as I could I contacted Bob Teets and requested he be a part of the book...

    1968 Our CS/HCS Book

    If you're talking end of the year holidays, bank on it, 4th of July holidays I'd say more than likely not. Funny thing about this book, it is all dependent upon the members and how prepared you are when I request your information, if you have it done and send it I will have it in the book...

    1968 You In A Book

    The photos that I have been receiving have been in JPEG format which works perfect and the size has been 800k up to 1.5MB and they have been working great. And my email receives them fine. Hope that helps. This is probably my weakest link, sizing of the photos, I know what works and what...

    1968 Our CS/HCS Book

    As for screen or real names I would hope we include both along with some pictures of you with your car but I certainly don't want to imply that you have to do either, it's all up to you. Thanks for all the nice comments, it doesn't take much. Cory

    1968 You In A Book

    I have been asked the question if someone that does not have a 1968 GT/CS or HCS can purchase a book. The answer is yes, anyone in the world will be able to buy one of these books once I publish and post it to the Blurb web site. The sad part will be if you have a 1968 GT/CS or HCS and it...
