I took a couple of pics of the Knight Rider GT500KR Mustang at Knott's on Sunday. Guess what kind of hood pins are on it? Yep, same ones as the '68 California Special. How cool is that? They should have put those on the new gen CSs, too!! Hope you can see it in the pic.

All, I picked up a set of Marchal 653's awhile back. They have one wire each exiting the base...no connector on the end. I assume (but will verify) that the Marchal is internally grounded to the case. My current Lucas setup has two wires (and a nice mating connector). The wiring harness on...

What if Ford had offered as options Marchal or Lucas Fog Lights back in '68? What would your preference have been for fog light?

Hey all, Does anyone know what the correct Black and Gold California plate letter/number range is for 1968? I do know that "XCJ nnn" is in the correct range. My Dad's Lime Gold CS back in the early 70's had this as the original plate. Thanks, Jeff

Was at the Good Guys show in Pleasanton over the weekend. Saw a very nice meadowlark yellow CS for sale. Price is $32K. See pics.

Hi all, I'm looking for a set of 4 '07/'08 CS OEM 18" Polished Aluminum wheels. With or without tires are OK. Preferrably in the Northern/Central Californai area. SoCal would be OK, too. Thanks, Jeff

Let me first say that I'm not at all trying to instigate anything here. I'm just curious and passionate about these cars (old and new) and wondered how many of you one day would want a new gen CS next to the old. For me, pretty soon after the new CSs became available, I knew I had to have one...

Hi all, I am revisiting the idea of installing aftermarket air conditioning in the '68 CS. Has anyone done this themselves? Anything unusual in the installation that I would need to be aware of? The only part of this project that I likely wouldn't tackle is the R-134a charging part. Also...

I noticed while installing a new radiator on the '68 CS... The mounting location for my Lucas lights (on the bottom grille piece) are not aligned with the center line of the marchal mounts in the grille. Mine are maybe 1/2" out toward the headlights on each side. In other words, if you put a...

Hi all, What was original on the C code CS- 4 blade or 5 blade fan? Thanks.

Hey all, When are folks heading down to LA for the GAS/Knott's festivities? I wouldn't mind caravanning down with others from up here if the timing works out. It would make for a more interesting drive down. I'm planning to leave town and be on I-5 outside of Tracy by 5:30am the morning of...

Hi all, I'm in the process of putting the larger 24" radiator in the '68 CS. The original was a 20" bolt in. The 24" is a clamp in type. My question is- On the lower mounts, the brackets bolt to the angled part of the frame on each side. There is an existing holes on the frame on each side...

I'll see if I can scan the pic in. It looked kinda cool. Hold please...scanner is not working...will get a pic or two tomorrow.

Hi all, I'm looking for a couple of front license plate brackets for two other '07 GTs that are in the family (injection molded plastic type...like what I think came with my '07 CS). Googling on this subject doesn't get what I want...there is a fabricated metal type on ebay, but that's not...

Hi all, I'm starting to think again about an AOD conversion on the CS. I stopped at my local transmission shop and talked with the owner about it. Something he brought up was what to do with P-R-N-D-2-1. Do they make a P-R-N-D-3-2-1 insert for the '68 console? For those who have already...

Just for fun. I thought it would be interesting to see what people have (or want) for vanity plates on their Cal Specials. My '68 has SPSHLGT (meaning= Special GT) Also, I saw a newer 'vette with a plate that said SUITTTE. And the frame said "What does mine say?" (In reference to the movie...

Hey all, One of the Ford dealers near me has a beautiful '08 grabber orange GT/CS coupe on the lot. I may take a more serious look tomorrow. Wondering if anyone here on this site has a GO GT/CS? -Jeff

Not mine... but looks like a nice looking car. The hood is not correct. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/431797439.html

Hi all, I've had a couple of days to reflect on this past weekend's CS BBQ and couldn't help thinking about (among other things)... What is the rarest CS/HCS that there ever was? Maybe one of those elusive 14 originals? I can say that Bob Teets' 428 CJ HCS was probably the rarest CS/HCS...
