Great, Russ! Since you have a GT/CS, why don't you register as a member on this site... glad to have you on board! -Winston

Thanks for the moral support, Doug :). I was planning on getting enough materials for a couple of sets, but I thought that if there were a lot of other people interested I could just do a bunch while I was at it. I would also like to own another GT/CS someday, preferably a V8. I would love to...

Hehe, yep. The poll is all set up, by the way... :) -Winston

If you have any responses other than those I typed, just reply to the message. And don't be embarrased to say that you don't have the cash. Nobody will know it's you who clicked, and they wouldn't mind anyway. Heck, that's the category I would fall in right about now... Thanks! -Winston

I believe that Tony Branda (www.cobranda.com) stocks them, but they're pretty expensive. Unfortunately, I hate their website interface and can never find what I want on there. Otherwise I would tell you for sure. If memory serves, they were about $100 -- unpainted I think. The trim piece that...

hubert, S-code cars have a VIN that begins 8R01S......, and X-code cars have a VIN that begins with 8R01X...... The X designates a 390 engine with 2V carb, and the S designates a 390 engine with a 4V carb. Although the GT/CS registry numbers reflect a higher number of S-codes than X-codes...

Bluestang, somehow I missed that post of yours in "X-Code?" the first time around. Thanks for the input. As you said, the price you paid was a steal :o. hubert, if you end up selling the car please be sure to ask the new owner if it's okay to share sale price information with me (as long as...

Okay, that makes more sense. I didn't find a tag on my harness either -- most of the webbing is shot. I believe that the mystery is solved. Thanks, Doug! -Winston

Okay, I am more confused now. I went out to the garage and looked at my wiring again. The taillamp harness is definitely original, as it has the molded splices and 5-prong connectors that are shown at the bottom of page 47 of the Recognition Guide. However, the tag number that I have came from...

Wow! Thanks for the research, Doug! I suppose that the "body" designation makes sense. I wonder if my harness is just the standard harness with a quality chop job done to it... Doug, do you currently have access to your cars? If so, could you pull the harness part number from your regular...

I didn't realize that many 67/8 parts had B in the part number (never really looked much). That said, I have never been able to find this part number listed anywhere. Thanks for looking for me... -Winston

I've had this question for some time, but never got around to asking it. My car has what appears to be the original wiring harness for the car (purple tag and all), but the part number is different than what's quoted in the Recognition Guide and here on this site. The tag reads like this...

Very interesting! I wonder if you could get that to pass in concourse judging. Maybe you would need a letter from the guy? I don't know much about judging, so perhaps it wouldn't fly at all. I would love to talk to the original owner of my car. I would also love to talk to the guy who put the...

That "3" needs to be a letter (engine code). Still should be easy enough to find with the consecutive unit number, though (152836). I don't have my books here with me, or else I would check it out for you... -Winston

I believe that Tony Branda (www.cobranda.com) has some 1996 Registry books in stock. You have to call them on the phone though. -Winston

:-[ Oops! Didn't realize that... -Winston

tim lowder, please check the appropriate box in the survey! Also, please regsiter with californiaspecial.com as a member! Thanks! -Winston

Larry, Be aware that around 5 grand of the value estimate I gave for hubert's car is due to the 390 engine and the GT option... -Winston

Well, you should only keep the cars you really are in love with. Unfortunately, it sounds like the GT/CS isn't on the top of the list -- the T-bird and D-code 'Stang are, right? I'm sure there are many that would love to have the GT/CS, and could afford to make her shine. She should also fetch a...

Deadstang, you think like me. I love manual transmissions. The 3-speed on the floor was the thing that lured me to my GTCS, before I even knew what a GT/CS was. Tell me this: if the GT/CS is so nice, does it even need a lot of work/money to make it enjoyable? If not, just make it driveable...
