    How many have (or will have) old and new CS?

    If it wasn't for the lack of room in the back seat I'd probably already have a new one. With a 9 year old it just isn't practical at this stage. Once I'm debt free in about 3 years I'll find me one or like Steve I'll create my own. After Ford went back to the original Mustang look I started...

    Can you "feel" your Rear Spoiler's Downforce?

    Never have really noticed the downforce on the rear spoiler. I have however felt the upforce when I pop it open. Don't want your nose out there too far or you will really feel the upforce. Cory

    What Colors would you like to see available for the 2009 GT/CS?

    That's pretty funny, you opted out. However you may be on to something, probably too late now but if a group of Royal Maroon or Acapulco Blue 68 CS owners all got together, 10 or more and decided they wanted a new CS to match you could order up 10 and possibly even get a multi car discount...

    Anyone see the '67 Conv CS Clone in latest Restomods magazine?

    It's a pretty solid garage, I don't think it would cave in but I will move the car before I push it back. I thought, briefly, about pushing it back with the snow plow but I think I'll use the Jeep and a jack and try and do it slowly by jacking it against the Jeep or something solid. I had this...

    Anyone see the '67 Conv CS Clone in latest Restomods magazine?

    Kind of funny you should mention that, it was my first thought after I had typed it. Had the contractor stop by the other day to give me an idea of how easy it will be to get the vinyl siding off from the bottom up so I don't have to take it all off top down as I have to push from the bottom...

    Missing VIN's????

    In the rural little piece of Idaho that I live in they don't inspect the car on purchase, you don't need the car with you unless the price you purchased it for seems unbelievable, and they don't have state auto inspections of any kind. You can drive a car with a busted windshield, no exhaust...

    Sell my GT/CS to buy a 69 Mach?

    From my perspective I'd have to ask what's money/value got to do with it? On the other hand I realize some cars are bought strictly as an investment, some cars are bought just for fun and others buy them for the fun and the investment. If you were to talk to an investment advisor they would...

    HCS: Are they more than a special color Mustang and badge?

    For me the "appearance package" is the most important piece of the puzzle. No interest in the big block or handling package. It's ALL about the looks for me. I learned my lesson early in high school. At 14 I purchased my first car a 1965 Mustang with a 289 auto. Had a friend with a Torino...

    unreal

    I set the dish to record it and haven't had time to get to it until the other night and all I had was an applogy that the network was down and not to call them as they were aware? Wonder what happened? Cory

    am i being to picky????

    I would agree that you are not being too picky. I would have told them go ahead and button it up, don't expect any payment and not only will I take it somewhere else for the work I'll buy somewhere else next time as well. Then I would contact Ford and express your issue. A couple of stories...

    69 GT/CS on Ebay

    I'm starting to think we've been around here so long that each time these cars come up for sale again it's a reminder of just how old our little GT/CS internet world is getting, or is that how old I'm getting?? Cory

    CS Vanity Plates...What do you have/want?

    Not sure, is it in the mini dome? When is it? If I do I doubt I'll bring the CS, it's being held captive right now. While plowing the driveway for the umpteenth time this winter early one morning I backed into the garage door opening, missed the door and just hit the support for the door...

    how many in your area

    Hey JBart, I didn't realize you were in Blackfoot, I live in St. Anthony just North of you, Rexburg had an 07 red/maroon CS, I test drove it for fun one day. Told them if it had been blue with white stripes to match my 68 they could probably talk me into it. Makes me nervous knowing there's a...

    CS Vanity Plates...What do you have/want?

    So if you request GTCS for a souvenir plate does that take it away from the public if they want it for an actual car plate? That would suck.

    CS Vanity Plates...What do you have/want?

    I have Idaho Plates with GTCS on them, I had that plate on my CS at one time and saved the plates after I put it in storage and let the registration expire. So I can put those on for show if I want. As for the link to the other plate site, it looks like they just do old original Idaho plates...

    CS Vanity Plates...What do you have/want?

    Idaho has finally went to online registration in my area so you don't have to go the DMV to register. While online taking care of one of my other vehicles I noticed you could buy plates for $12. They are souvenir sample plates, Idaho has a ton of different special plates ranging from wildlife...
