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

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...

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...

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...

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

Hi all, While up in Sacramento last Friday, going westbound on Folsom Blvd near Routier Rd., I spotted a CS very much like mine!! Tahoe Turquoise with white stripes. I wanted to make a U-turn and chase the guy down to talk to him (I was in my beater Toyota truck so it would have been a...

Hi all, Does anyone here have a pebble beige CS? I don't recall ever seeing pics of a CS in this color. I know Amy's is now painted black. Anyone have pics? -Jeff

Hey all, Selling the BG carb from my CS- Barry Grant Speed Demon 750cfm carburetor with vacuum secondary, electric choke and Ford AOD Kickdown Linkage. Barry Grant Part Number 1402010VFE. Everything works. Reason for selling- This carb was not sized correctly for my Ford 347 engine. Very...

Hi all, I'm looking for a deluxe shifter knob for my '68 Automatic. I've yet to find one in aqua. For reference see the interior shot from Jason's Picture Gallery. http://californiaspecial.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=8 If anyone has an extra or can point me to a web site, i'd...

Just got back from a trip to Vegas. We went to the Shelby Facility north of town (at the Speedway) for the free tour. Definitely worth the relatively short drive up the road from the strip. The museum is very cool. Lots of cars/prototypes/first Cobra, etc. Got to sign the wall. Since they work...

Hi all, Is ther some trick (maybe a particular torque spec?) when installing the OEM type hose clamps See page 9 of the MP catalog- http://www.mustangsplus.com/catalog/radiator_08.pdf I've had terrible luck using these. They don't seem to hold tight and end up leaking. Problem is that I...

Hi all, Just put the finishing touches on assembling the Marchal Light conversion on the '68. I had the Lucas lights on previously. Question- The hardware for mounting doesn't seem quite right. Can someone let me know what the "stackup" should look like? The back side of the Marchals are...

Hi all, Has anyone here done a swap-out of their vintage CS C4/C6 to a modern 5 speed Auto drivetrain? Who makes a kit? I saw an article in the latest MM that describes something a little different than what I'm asking- Converting an Automatic to 5 speed manual. This seems like a lot more to...

Hi all, I bought a set of reproduction door panels a couple of years back for the '68 CS (still haven't installed them. Not sure I will) and found that they have a cardboard backing base material (kinda seems flimsey). The originals that are still on the car and are a more of a Masonite...

Anyone know what font is used for the side stripe on the new gen CS? Thanks, Jeff

Back in my hotel room at the Knott's hotel after the show- I happen to have a view of the employee parking lot out my window. I spy a Mustang in need of a little TLC. Gosh, it sure looks like a CS from the side. I go down to the lot and take a few more pics while getting a closer look. Sure...
