    For Sale 1968 GT/CS going up at Barrett-Jackson next week! New to Registry!

    Remember the online Registry is not the same as the printed Registry. The online version only includes cars that people have chosen to submit online. It's interesting that that VIN is in the 1996 Registry, but not the 2011 Registry. Not sure if that was just an oversight or if Paul Newitt...

    1968 New family project

    Yeah, the Marti report on my 68 HCS also says "California Special" and not "High Country Special" in addition. My memory may be a little faulty here, but I thought there was some talk of Kevin Marti adding the HCS designation to his reports to try to avoid confusion. Of course having both GT/CS...

    Bill, At first I thought you were asking about inserting smilies, which I think is what everyone else thought you were asking too, because their advice is correct for that. But you're talking about the "post icons", which are totally (but subtly) different then smilies. There are several...

    1968 X codes and Registration errors...

    True. It's because the engine code is not it's own separate value, but just part of the overall VIN. There may be a way to code a search parameter to look at just the 5th digit in the VIN, but I don't know SQL well enough to code it. If anyone has SQL programming knowledge and is willing to help...

    1968 New name for new CS...

    Sorry your post timed out and you lost what you wrote. Writing it 1st in Word or even Notepad is a good solution if you think it's going to be a long post. Usually it's not a problem on short posts. And yes, the security token error can be because your pics are too large and need to be...

    . Annoying new popups

    I think we're talking about 2 different ad types. There have always been banner ads on the site, but not popups. A popup actually opens a new browser window automatically to show the ad. Then you have to close or move it because it gets in the way of what you're reading. Very annoying, which is...

    1968 Side stripe install... what a PITA....

    I just looked at my HCS and the stripes don't seem to wrap into the head light bucket. They look like they were trimmed right at the seam. Driver's side front of stripe at head light seam: Passenger's side front of stripe at head light seam:
