Hey all, I will be in the LA area the weekend of 4/15-4/16 and am planning to make it out to the FFF show on Sunday 4/16 at Irwindale. Not bringing the car unfortunately. But I will be a spectator. Anyone else going? Would be nice to see some of you all again. -Jeff

Hey Jon, I‘ve had good luck with the Grab-A Trak suspension from Mustangs Plus. Looks like they are now owned by Top Flight Automotive. As with most aftermarket stuff now, it’s hit and miss. Put all that on back in 2005 or so. Here’s a link-...

Found this article about John McGilvary's original CJ (Now John Johnson's). It talks about a red GT/CS R code from Seattle. So, maybe? https://www.motortrend.com/features/mump-1108-1968-cj-california-special-mustang-coupe-rare-finds/

Arlie, How many of the 3 R code GT/CSs (+9 HCSs) 428CJs are accounted for in the registries? It would be quite a find if the red one shown is a true R code. -Jeff

All, My curiosity on the idea I heard years ago about "GT/CS Build Days" at the San Jose plant (edit: I see wording in Paul's book pg 82 that mentions "...build days..."). Looking at the sampling of Marti reports and "...actually produced on..." from Arlie and others, there definitely were...

Thanks Arlie!! Much appreciated. Assuming these fall under the very rare/hard to find category of Mustang parts? I'll DM you.

All, I'm looking for the correct short window cranks for my car with deluxe interior (doors have a lower grille that the longer cranks tend to scrape knuckles on. I took the short cranks off the rear quarter windows and am using them up front, however they use the set screw type fastening on...

Jon, If I recall (it's been a long time ago) I started at back and worked toward the front. I used a large number of the bigger binder clips along the door tops and top of the front window. The only area that I really wrestled with was the rear pillar getting the material fastened to the metal...

I have an '07 GTCS purchased in 2008 (120K miles on it now). The 4.6L 3V has been very reliable for me in stock form. The only challenge has been changing the spark plugs. The 3V heads have a unique plug design that can become a nightmare of you can't get the broken ones out with the extraction...

Steve, Thank you. I did not originally see the Valuation section on Hagerty.

All, I know this is a very subjective issue. Looking at what some of the '68 GT/CS cars have sold for recently has me thinking about changing the value with my insurance carrier. I haven't seen a list of categories here. But thinking the range would be from Extreme Project to Concourse...

So sad to hear this news about Mike. He was a really nice guy. Condolences to Robinette and Mike's entire family. RIP.

The link doesn't seem to copy correctly :-(

Ran across this one today. https://classiccars.com/listings/view/1556349/1968-ford-mustang-gt-cs-(california-special)-for-sale-in-scottsdale-arizona-85260 I don't see the VIN in the registry (8R01C142704) Side markers seem incorrect for an early car

Hello again all, Pebble Beige brought me back here!! LOL!! That's a beautiful car! But don't see it on FB marketplace any longer :-( Hoping everyone is doing OK. Would be great to have a get together after all this blows over. -Jeff

Cal Special folks, I'm selling my 2007 Mustang GT/CS. See the CL ad here- https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/2007-mustang-gt-cs/6651086238.html PM me if interested. Thanks, Jeff

Jon, That is so cool that you are bringing the HCS!! I'll be there with my car in the show as well. Will get there Saturday afternoon. Would be nice to get together beforehand and also coordinate driving in together. Will be in touch. -Jeff

Shane, all, I've signed up for FFF. Bringing the '68 CS. See you there. I'd love to have done a road trip to Nebraska with Marty and co., but July is booked solid for me with other activities. -Jeff

Mike, Thank you for your California Special Registry service. Hope all is well. -Jeff

Hi all, I haven't chimed in here in quite awhile. Yes, I still have and occasionally drive the '68 CS!! I'm up for a west coast get together. Knott's had a great turnout for the 40th in 2008. Thinking that would be a good place to gather for the 50th. I would consider a Colorado trip as well...
