    GTCS, true or false

    Cut and paste worked. I'll bet it's a '67 with all the CS parts on it so in his mind it's a '67 California Special, not understanding that a GT/CS is more than just parts. Otherwise parts are just parts. Or, maybe there was one lone GT/CS built in 1967 as an experiment and this is that car...

    GTCS, true or false

    Here is another strange '67. It isn't listed as a GT/CS or anything similar but take a look at the rear of the car. I wonder if those parts are aftermarket or if they came from a GT/CSl. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6236&item=4546327685&rd=1#ebayphotohosting

    GTCS, true or false

    For some reason I can't find it. It listed 6 cars but none of them match your description.

    1968 GT/CS for sale on Ebay

    Hey Steve, checking out this car would give you a good reason to go back to Yakima for a visit! A few years ago when my wife and I were driving through that area (her 1st time to Eastern Washington) we saw a highway sign that said (I swear this is true), "Welcome to Yakima, the Palm Springs of...

    Rich, be sure to always listen to Casey. I portrayed him as a genius in one of my earlier posts and I still stand by that description. ;D

    9" Rear Ends

    For all you who are interested in 9" rear ends (It's a good thing we've cut out the lockerroom humor.) here is a website that apparently tells you everything you would ever want to know about them. http://www.kevinstang.com/Ninecase.htm

    Newbie Help on CS Purchase

    Starting in '68 all manual transmission cars were equipped with a rudimentary pollution control system consisting of a "smog pump". All it did was route a portion of the exhaust gasses back into the combustion chamber, I think. The complete setup is actually quite valuable since most people...

    Newbie Help on CS Purchase

    I lightened the photo of the front of the car and the foglights are sitting on posts but I can't tell how tall they are. Make sure the foglights say "Lucas" on them. With Casey's eagle-eyed catch on the taillight bezels my guess is that the entire rear of the has been punched. Why else would...

    Newbie Help on CS Purchase

    That passenger side script is definitely funky. That in itself is not really a crisis but you may want to ask a few more questions of the owner to find out why it is installed backwards. Was the quarter replaced? If so, why? A blatant error like that would kick most of us into full bown...

    Newbie Help on CS Purchase

    Both sides should look the same. The "S" should line up with the 2nd "I". The best way to find out if it's real is to get a Marti report. There is usually a link somewhere this site's home page to order the report. There have been some entertaining discussions on this board about whether or...

    Newbie Help on CS Purchase

    If you want to see if it is authentic the first things I look for are: Side scoops - the edges should not be flush as they roll into the screened area. In other words there is a little lip on the front edges. The lip can get sanded down and painted over so this is not a foolproof method of...

    1968 GT/CS for sale on Ebay

    Good point. And, who knows, it may be a true GT/CS but it's really difficult giving someone the benefit of the doubt when his or her car has horses on its fenders and is refered to as a CS/GT. If it's real and rust-free it would certainly be worth a second look. Would certainly need to pull...

    1968 GT/CS for sale on Ebay

    The ad never actually states that the car is a real GT/CS. It says it has, "CS/GT options". With verbiage like that he must be a lawyer.....not that there's anything wrong with that. Even if it is a clone it has air and a deluxe interior so for the right price it might be a good deal...

    Roush, Saleen, Steeda

    Does anyone have any opinions on the products put out by the various Mustang tuners. Is a Roush Mustang any better or worse than a Saleen? How does Steeda compare to the others? Are we comparing apples to apples or do they take different approaches to improving the cars?
