    Thank you. That was my very first car show prior to it ever being restored. That would be a fun way to go full circle.

    For Sale 68 gt/cs

    Im parting with my California Special I have had for 24 years. I just dont drive it as much as I feel it deserves. And, well, my husband wants a boat. It was March in one of your calendars a few years back. Maybe 2009? And is in the registry in Paul Newitt's book and its picture is in there...

    1968 Need advice on value

    Thank you. Not what I liked to see. Maybe I will hang on to it. I would rate it a 2 car. I win most shows and there is no cosmetic damage. Engine is not sparkly but not bad. It is a 289. Upgraded features are air conditioning and center console.

    1968 Need advice on value

    I am considering selling my GT/CS. I have had it for 22 years and bought it when it had black paint, ripped interior and no stripes and missing trims. I have rebuilt the motor, all stock. It is a 289. I had it fully restored, interior and exterior, about 5 years ago. It is now beautiful...

    1968 need ideas for sign

    Thanks. I know the stripes were not Shelby stripes, but different than regular mustangs. That was what I meant anyways. I like the "Limited factory production..." line instead. But is that going to cause the whole argument that although they were made for mostly S. California dealers, they...

    1968 need ideas for sign

    I am having a nice sign made by "Grand Illusions". They take awesome pictures of your car and you can have lots of things made with them. While living in Virginia and Wisconsin, VERY few people know what a California Special is. I'd guess I could count on one hand in both states. Many people...

    hood pin question

    I am putting new hood pins in my hood. It is a new hood so the holes arent there. I ordered new ones that came with pins, plates, retainers, and springs. But I need one new support bracket. One is ok, but the other one is missing the wire. It looks like it broke off. In all of my old parts...
