Here is the last picture, and the information he sent me below. Cory I am a fellow Mustang freak, started driving a '68 coupe (my Moms) with my first license in 1973. This is only my second Mustang … I had Moms up until 1999! It was stolen, wrecked and recovered in less than 24 hours in 1993...

Here's the second picture.

I help host a Yahoo group for vintage Mustangs and one of the members owns a California Special. It has been wrecked in the front and the grill replaced etc but he says it is a GT/CS and he races it. If I figured out how to attach the pictures they should be included. Cory

That is pretty sweet looking. You have to give Ford credit on doing a little retro, at least the new Mustang has some Mustang style. Has anyone seen the new GTO? What a pathetic excuse GM is for an auto manufacturer. I think they should have called it the "Grand GTO" Looks just like every...

I've done several searches including google and can't find any definitive answer. Several sights with someone's opinion (all varying) but no official this is the definition. I'm almost of the opinion it is a term that has developed through the sale end of the car collecting and really doesn't...

In another forum that I belong to there is a big discussion about numbers matching cars. Where can a person find the definition of a numbers matching car. The rules to qualify, a step by step break down. Thanks, Cory

I would agree that if a person or business is trying to pass off a fake that we should not do business with them if in fact they are doing it intentionally. I also think we should expose them for several reasons. First it may be that the person or business doesn't realize that the car isn't...

There was a point in time that I would have possibly used you as a source for parts Mrshelbydallas but it seems that everytime you post it is a negative reaction to something someone else has posted. Might I offer a suggestion, if you plan on making a living in the retail world by selling...

All things aside Paul, I do appreciate all the hard work you have put into our little California Special world. I have both books and they are priceless additions to my collection. If it weren't for you I wouldn't have near the understanding or interest in the GT/CS that I do. After the car...

Your question on how would a person feel in representing a fake/replica when approached by others in my opinion would all be based on the individuals personality and intent. if it was the intent of the person making the car to misrepresent it for fraudulent purposes then they would probably...

I find this to be a very interesting topic. I read through the posts and was going to reply when I started thinking pretty deep about it so I walked away and spent some more time thinking. As a kid the first car I ever remember seeing that caught my attention was a GTO Judge, I had to be 7-8...

Ok here's mine, my brother and I were core drilling about an hour north of Boise Idaho near Mcall. I was 18 at the time and we lived in a town called Sugar City Idaho about a 4-5 hour drive from the work site to home (at 55 mph) this was in 1981. We were working 10 hour days for 10 straight...

How do you tell on the decklid and endcaps? The stripes I can tell but the caps and deck look pretty much normal to me. What should I look for to spot a fake other than if they don't fit right. These look like they fit to me I would have never caught them. Thanks, Cory

I believe that the more mustangs out their that aren't authenic, that just makes the authentic ones all the more valuable. I've been reading this thread and trying to stay out of it but this statement I find very disturbing. Value is based on rarity and difficulty in putting your hands on it...

I have a pair of KC soft padded black covers on my Marchals and it protects them fine and they fit perfect and tight. If your car is unfortunate to spend its life out of doors I would make sure and take them off any time they are exposed to wet weather so the moisture isn't trapped in but it...

Quickly, as far as the frame rail, rocker boxes, etc. being flooded and therefore now having rust that the previous 33 years would not have caused rust - bunk. I would have to agree with you on this one. Just because the car took a bath does in no way mean that it is going be assured of rust...

Looking at the detailed pictures and the great length he went to describe the cars condition I'd say he has represented the car very well without any intent to misrepresent it. As for what it's worth I'd have to agree with the seller again it's his, it's worth what ever he thinks it is. If...

Perfect, thanks. I'm glad to see you got it I was thinking I must have sent it wrong or something but didn't want to send it again until I double checked. Cory

Here about a month ago I posted up my GT/CS for the gallery and notice that it still hasn't made it in. Just curious if I did something wrong in entering the info or if I'm just impatient. Cory

I find it interesting when looking at various pictures of GT/CS Mustangs that the side stripe kit ends up with so many variations when cars are repainted. I've seen them with the stripes extending beyond the scoop to the back as well as not having the stripe in front of the front wheel well...
