    1968 Green Hornet Special on History

    The history channel just had a Green Hornet and Lil Red Special on this morning. The links to the specials are on the Barret Jackson website and on Youtube. Enjoyed watching both. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Media/Home/Video/TV4WEzITFi4...

    1968 68 Hot Wheel GTCS on TV

    I saw the same show....yelled to my wife that it was a coupe not a fastback model and then saw the scoops on the side and was shocked to see it was a GT/CS. She said I should post something here. Great to see I wasn't the only one who saw the error. By the way the price of the fastback they...

    1968 Good news / Bad news from the 2011 Recognition Guide

    Just e-mailed ...I will see if I get a response. Haven't received mine in Ohio and read that someone had received theirs in the Phillipines. A bit frustrated since I prepaid and think I probably could have bought one on ebay or from Branda and had it in my hands already. Mark

    1968 Good news / Bad news from the 2011 Recognition Guide

    No Books Yet in Ohio I have been waiting patiently for both books to show up on my door step here in Ohio. Good to hear that all those east of me are in the same situation. Always interested in hearing about mistakes so I can create my own addendum to the book. Mark

    For Sale 2008 Black GT/CS

    Had to chime in because I agree this is a fair price and I have been looking for a late model GT CS but I like many others will wait for the 2011's. Hate to say it but I see all models prior to 2011 going down in price due to the upgrade in HP for 2011. Don't really want a GT CS that will...

    1968 Green Hornet Engine?

    Just puuting this out there for feedback. Engine is being advertised as a 68 experimental fuel injected engine. Could this be from the green hornet? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330425427309&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

    . Paul Newitt & CS.com

    Jon, Thanks for all you do. Robert, couldn't agree more with your comment about the book being stale as soon as it is printed. Although I would like to have the 2 copies I paid for. To me the key factor to maintain the integrity of the registry is to require a Marty report to register a...

    Neil, That is some good advice!!! I think I had my shelby rims on and off about 4 times before I noticed that fact. Luckily I'm still in the resto phase and only took trips around the block and none at high speeds. Mark

    1968 How much do you pay to Register your CS?

    OHIO Costs OK, the first year I wasn't smart enough and paid $56 for just normal plates. The second year I opted for "classic car" plates ($28) which means no registration fees for the next 20+ years. The guy at the Department of Motor Vehicles scared me the first year by saying you can...

    Quarts Epoxy Floor I had mine done about 7 years ago. It is not just the epoxy paint but they used quatz aggregate. They put 2 layers down in between th eepoxy coating. Has held up to every kind of abuse so far. I use hot water and a mop with degreaser in the tough spots. It looks good...

    1968 NOS Hood locks price?

    1968 When I was looking to upgrade most of what I saw was around 250+ on EBAY. I have seen some decent used ones at shows for 150. Just my 2 cents. By the way I don't know if i could justify paying that amount because I couldn't tell the difference between repros and NOS. If anyone can...

    Meadowlark GT CS in OH

    Got a reply back and the pwner used to be a dealer he said he sold his red GT/CS a while ago but the yellow one is for sale for 16K. Supposedly no rust which is rare for Ohio. I inquired about the backwards script and he said the quarter was replaced. Seems a little pricey for me. I am...

    Should I charge $$ to join the GT/CS Registry?
