I would offer 50% of car value if the numbers don't match. It severly lowers the price! Wow, a 50% drop in value if the numbers don't match. I would think that is a bit drastic dependent upon the condition of the car. If the car is immaculate, rust free with an excellent restoration, and...

I bought a pair of black KC covers that fit perfect over my Marchals and they have a foam padding inside to enhance the protection. They also have the elastic around for a secure fit. They have white "KC" letters which have never bothered me but they could be spray painted all black with the...

Hey thanks for sharing, that is a way fun site. Now I'll have something to do at work. ;) Cory

That's not to bad at all. A new car for 14-15 thousand in this day and age is pretty lucrative. A new-old car with some class, style and oooomph. Well that just sounds more than worth it. Thanks for the insight. Cory

Mind if I ask what your estimate on the completed project will set you back $$? Trying to prepare myself for the future. Cory

I like it too, ;) need to find you an old beat up 67 or 68 and go for it. Cory

I should say thanks as well Russ, I have saved your information so I have it when I get to this step. Right now I'm trying to get new garage doors and openers on so I can tuck her away a little tighter while I work on her. Then I need to get her running better. I'm fighting the fuel system...

Nice looking car, can't wait till I get mine back in shape. That is the first time I have ever seen the stripe go all the way to the back wheel well. Is this something that is found on some GT/CS cars? I love the Chrome Styled Steel wheels. Anyone know if you can send in and have an Argent...

My next step in the restoration is the change to the GT dual exhaust. Can anyone get me pictures of the tips sticking out the back with some tape measurements so I know how far out and down they should be. I'm going to have it professionally done but I want something to give them as a...

Boy can I reflect on all this. When my wife and I bought our humble abode (8 acres on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River) I needed some money as well and there sat my GT/CS and a 53 Ford F100 PU with a hydraulic tilt front end and a 5 inch chopped top all customized. I sold the truck. I...

Thanks a ton Tom I received the template and that will work great. Might be awhile before I get to that change but it's one less thing on my mind. For now I'm battling with a carburetor. I put a kit in it yesterday and somewhere somehow I missed something or put something in wrong as she...

Not familiar with these, what exactly are we talking about? Any pictures we can see? Thanks, Cory

Thanks for everyone's input. Based on my own feelings and the input of you, GT/CS owners yourself this is my direction. Short of a family crisis this Special will remain in my posession until this world and I part. Which is exactly what the previous owner told me one day about 3 years before...

Looks like your drive in's are about like our local car shows. Small town life does have it's advantages though, seeing a lot of sweet cars like this isn't one of them. Cory

That is a great comparison picture. I would have thought that a comment made earlier about the markers being in the same position would be correct so the quarter wouldn't have to be different. Looks like any template I use will have to be from a non-recessed marker if the marker is used for a...

I'm starting to feel a little better about this whole thing. I felt like I was committing a sin when I was bolting it on last night. Even though nothing was really modified that couldn't be changed back by unbolting. The car has seen one show in it's lifetime and where I live there really...

I'd love to see a picture of the one with the big black bumpers. Sounds sad.

In the process of restoring my GT/CS the temptation of a modification has won me over. I have resisted changing anything in the 20 years that I have owned the car until now. My modification is to change the lower rear valance to the GT valance and dualing out the exhaust to the GT specs. I...

Here is a picture of the mess they made. Thanks again for the help. I look forward to finishing the project and posting up some new pictures. It is going to be a slow project but it should be fun. I'm sure there will be more questions along the way. Chatting with other GT/CS owners is also...

The marker is not recessed it sticks out from the body of the car. I will try to post a picture tonight from home if needed. Appreciate everyone's help. Cory
