    How many have (or will have) old and new CS?

    Who had the red GT\CS that worked for Ford, added all the options and then sold it? Putting the fogs in the center like the Shelby and losing the horse like the original? Sick. Otherwise I "third" Steve and go for the "King of the Road" look but would spring for the V8 and pimp it. But right...

    Happy Belated Birthday to my J code CS!!

    I meant to wish my CS a happy 40th birthday last week and get it something special (new seat covers!) but I got busy and so my CS let me know by having a meltdown.

    No More Horsepower Wars?

    Of course you would have to add the aftermarket "throaty dual quad Shelby V8" external surround sound enhancer to let everyone know you mean business when you "whirrr" off the line. :smile:

    window tint or these?

    Louvers are nice...gives a throwback fastback look. Plus having to take time to prep the car for install sets it apart from others. Go for it.

    Bubbling battery in my CS

    Thanks for the feedback guys...since the battery itself seems like it was bubbling from the inside and the positive terminal was hot I was hoping it wasnt anything else. Originally it cranked at first then successively lost cranking and then juice for lights. This morning I pulled the battery...

    Bubbling battery in my CS

    So after driving around my CS (been in the garage for month) I went to start it and it turned over without catching (usually it just catches on first turn). I tried again and it clicked (kinda like starter issue). After that it successively did less until on 4th attempt it was dead. No interior...

    NOOBie to ford's help me identify please

    The main way would be to get a Marti report for it based on VIN, when you locate (it isnt in front dash or registration?). It will confirm it is a true CS the VIN wont show it as a CS. http://www.martiauto.com/
