    New California Special?

    If they do make a new GT/CS I'm willing to bet that the originals will finally get some notoriety and their value will increase accordingly. On the other hand, as the value of the cars increases the number and quality of clones will also increase so Mr. Newitt's and Mr. Marti's expertise will...

    '67 HCS Convertible on Ebay

    Well folks there is quite a discussion going on in e-bay about the High Country Convertible. The owner swears up and down that it is a true High Country Special. This should get interesting! If it is a true High Country it must be incredibly rare. By the way here is the correct link. The...

    '67 HCS Convertible on Ebay

    There is a '67 High Country Special on ebay. The opening bid was $10,000, I think. so it's going to go a lot higher. Were there really HCS convertibles? What would such a car be worth? bhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6236&item=4522017316&rd=1e

    Stripe Experience

    Just wondering if anyone has tried any of the new laser levels that are on the market. That would be slick if we could set it at the correct height and let it shoot a level line down the side of the car. Of couse it would be difficult to apply the stipe without blocking the laser but it would...

    Mitchell Collision Estimator

    For anyone interested in the Mitchell Guide information there are 10 Mustang pages at around 380k each so all the files are nearly 4 Megs. If that is too much for your mailbox I can zip the files. You will need to unzip them using WinZip or PKZip or a similar program.

    68 Shelby Tail light

    Roy, Checking the temperature of the switch was a great idea. If 120 degrees is too hot then it's drawing too much of a load from somewhere. My switches always ran hot and only lasted a few years before my lights started acting like they had a mind of their own. If it were my money I'd go...

    Mitchell Collision Estimator

    Don, do you want just the '68 Mustang pages or the whole book? I can e-mail you the '68 Mustang pages tomorrow. Right now every scanned image is 1.4M but when I clean up the images each file should be around 300k so you'd be looking at roughly 3 Megs for the 10 pages. Will that overload...

    Mitchell Collision Estimator

    That is interesting...$118 vs $113, but the guide also shows the GT/CS decklid as fiberglass but not the Shelby decklid. Very strange.

    Mitchell Collision Estimator

    If anyone is interested in such things I have scanned the pages that refer to 1968 Mustangs from the 1969 version of the Glen Mitchell Collision Estimator and will be happy to e-mail the scanned pages. The collision estimator is the book body shop estimators use when they write quotes to repair...

    Diamond Blue

    Rhonda, this is totally off the subject but I noticed you are from Minnesota. There is a red/red GT/CS in a little town called Sabin (8 miles from Fargo). Original paint, interior, hoses, etc. Probably hasn't been driven in 30 years. Of course, the first thing out of the owner's mouth is...

    putting of 1/4

    Re:putting on 1/4 Wow, now that's what I call ambition! If you have never done any bodywork and don't have the proper tools I would say it is nearly impossible. You will need an air chisel, spot, mig, tig, or gas welder. hammers, dollies, 80/20 lead (to do it right), grinder, long board...

    WE ARE ASKING FOR $25,000 OBO. :o It looks like no one is going to practice any tough love and everyone on this board thinks I'm an idiot anyway so I guess I'll do it. $25,000 is an awful lot of money for a car that is not perfect. I hope you get that much....if fact I'm sure we all hope...

    GT/CS on Ebay

    Amazing. A "ground up" restoration and they can't even get the scripts to line up. Why would the script holes not be in the right place? Hmmmmmm. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6236&item=4521028288&rd=1

    6 Cylinder Cars

    I thought the "No offense, it's yours" meant you were just having fun but I've never heard that phrase before and wasn't sure. I would love to have a built small block under the hood with a top loader backing it up, just for the rumble if nothing else. My first GT/CS was a 289-2V, 4-speed car...

    6 Cylinder Cars

    Thank you 68gt390. That is a fantastic idea. I had forgotten all about the SVT group. Those types of light over-powered cars usually ended up wrecked and the yards should be full of those and similar engines. Our '94 Explorer had the high output 6 that made the same horsepower as the 8...

    6 Cylinder Cars

    Wow, finally some life in this message board! I want to thank all of you for your eloquent responses to my question. I also want to challenge you to go drive an Infiniti G35 or a BMW 330, or a Lincoln LS. Drive it hard and see if you don’t find yourself thinking 2 thoughts, 1) This thing is...
