    MCA Grand National in Park City

    I just returned from the MCA Grand National Show in Park City and wanted to report that some very nice GT/CS and HCS Mustangs were present at the show. Somethingspecial's beautiful Highland Green GT/CS took a Concourse Trailered Gold award and Bob Teet's beautiful red HCS took a second in...

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    Okay, I'll be the one to side with Donna Diesel regarding the Knott's Show and here is why. In my family, when someone has a birthday, a party is held to celebrate that person's special day. When my sister had a birthday, I didn't get any presents, and I didn't blow out the candles. Maybe...

    '68 GT/CS vs. '07/'08 GT/CS

    Paul, I guess I'm a bit confused about what you are asking. Are you interested in our thoughts/opinions about the two GT/CS versions, or are you asking if the new version should be included in the "classic" GT/CS group as an "equal", or should the new GT/CS be given the same emphasis in your...

    Auto Trailer

    I own a Wells Cargo enclosed trailer and it is a wonderful trailer. It is well built, has four wheel electric brakes and torshion bar suspension. It rides very smoothly and tows like a dream. My trailer is 18" long and weighs in at 2700 empty with a GVW of 7000 fully loaded. The trailer has...

    Anyone have a bra on?

    I have the new 3M bra on my 2005 GT and like it a lot. It was installed by a company that installs tinted windows. You can cover the front facia, the hood, the lower areas of the fenders or any other area that you don't want rock chips. It is clear and shiny, and you really have to look close...

    Would you like to have your Gt/CS restored to Concourse Trailered condition?

    Concours trailered class can use reproduction parts, while the "throughbred" class uses only original or NOS parts. Regarding this thread, I like having a car that is the way it came from the factory and is like new. While I have entered my car in the concourse trailered class, I still drive...

    Who is going to the Knott's Berry Farm Fabulous Ford show

    My wife and I would love to meet everyone at Starbuck's, but we don't know the address or it's location. Is it after you get off the I-5 (?) on the left or right? We are looking forward to seeing everyone. Russ

    Engine Repair Question

    Arlie, I'm sorry about your engine....but, if you are at all mechanical, and like to work on engines, you can save a bunch of money by fixing your engine yourself! I agree with everyone else, that $9000 to repair a 302 cu in engine is out of line. I recently rebuilt my J code engine and here is...

    Flagstaff Mustangs

    You have a great looking '04. Inrterestingly enough, Marilyn traded in a '04 redfire GT convertible, like yours, for her new '07 CS convertible. She really likes the new one, but she did keep her personalized license plate for her '07.....it says "A HOT GT". It is very appropriate for her...

    Flagstaff Mustangs

    Here is a photo of a trio of Mustangs in Flagstaff. The white CS belongs to my son-in-law. He picked up the car the day this photo was taken. He is home from Iraq (yea!) and he loves his new car. I'm standing by my red GT and a good friend, Marilyn, is standing by her new CS convertible...

    It's all about color!?

    Many years ago I owned a candy apple red (Code T) '68 Mustang GT with a "C" stripe, parchment interior and a white vinyl top. It had a white stripe and looked stunning, so my guess would be a white stripe. Regarding the 2007 GT/CS colors, I think it is strange that Ford only offers the GT/CS...
