Thanks Danny, I think a black dash pad and carpet is correct, however, I know that the original seats in mine were Parchment. Do you know what the interior code on yours is? I was wondering how a light Saddle carpet would look with the Parchment interior, but it might show dirt too much...

Hi all, Just spent 10 long, hot days in Tucson stripping my GTCS down to the bare bones! The paint guy will be getting it into his shop in late July for a complete rotisserie paint & body restoration job. Then the work really starts! Meanwhile, I'm looking at ordering the interior and had a...

Thanks! Hey all, I just wanted to thank all of you guys. Every year, every resident of Alaska gets a dividend check based on the amount of oil we sell you suckers in the the "Lower 48". This year it should be around $1300 each! I have six kids and a wife, so that means my family gets over...

Hi all, I'm reweighing my options on restoring my GT/CS - the paint guy the club in Tucson recommends is way backed up. He did an unbelievably great job - better than new! If I strip my car down to the body/frame, and want to get it completely refinished, does anyone have any recommendations...

Eric, I also inherited a GT/CS - from my dad. It's supposed to be a 302 4V, but doesn't have the original engine in it. I am leaving this afternoon to fly down from Alaska to Tucson and strip it to get it ready for painting. Anyway, I would kill to have a pile of digital photos of an...

Paul, Thanks for the info. BTW - I meant Torch Red, not Flame. And IMHO it looks like a crate! :icon_sick Doug

So Paul, A few questions for your reliable source: If the '08 is still a go - will they make a convertible? Any word on colors? My folks gave up on waiting - they ordered an '07 GT convertible in Flame Red and ordered the CS scoops, valance, stripes, etc. for the dealer to install so they...

Jeff, Sounds like a great idea. Put me on your list or something. I've got a "brand new" 347 330HP still in the crate waiting till my car gets repainted. I'm replacing the 351 2V that a previous owner swapped for the original 302 4V. I've got an extra air cleaner lid I could use. One for...

Thanks Steve! Sweet looking ride! I know it may sound snobbish, but when a muscle car is bright red, it's just like the icing on the cake - ya know? Did you do anything extra to the motor? I bought a 330 hp 347 stroker made from a block with all the correct numbers. Can't wait to see what...

Paul, Sound like a pretty wild story. I'd hate to see what the metal looked like! It rains about 300+ days a year in Juneau, and it's right on the ocean, so things rust in no time! Definitely not like SoCal or Arizona, where my CS is from! BTW, I just mailed you my Marti report and will...

Steve, Speaking of pictures - I see that you have a Candy Apple Red J code. I also have one that I am beginning to restore. It's in good shape now, but doesn't have the correct stripe, interior color, etc. I'm looking for some good exterior pictures of a Candy Apple Red car with white...

Paul, Thanks a million for the wealth of info. My folks are going to think about their options now, but one way or the other - they'll end up with a Torch red GTCS, "authentic" or not - and I end up with the Candy Apple red 68 GTCS! Thanks again! Doug

Paul, I guess I don't really understand what you mean by "graphic fading effect". Can you explain? My parents test drove a black CS yesterday and Dad says he could only see the stripe if the light was just right. Seemed like a waste of effort to put a black stripe on a black car! Wouldn't...

Pretty Close! QuickNick: That's very close. Since mine was a very base model, I think it was all red with no contrasting top, but your's sure looks "sweet". I lean toward the white but a previous owner switched the interior from Parchment to Black and probably changed the stripe to black at...

I have two very important color questions for you experts: First - My 68 GTCS original colors are Candy Apple Red with Parchment interior. I've read several differing statements about what the correct stripe color should be. So what's correct - white or black? Second - My parents want a new...

Hey all, I'm going to be replacing the entire interior of my GT/CS soon. I was wondering if there was one vendor who sold the whole kit. If not, who would you old-timers recommend I get the stuff from? I need everything from the steering wheel to dash pad to carpet, etc. Thanks, Doug

Paul, I'd do two or three red w/ white stripe ones. Thanks!
