Hi Folks, Here is a piece that was my pride and joy. I commissioned Johnny Ace to do a Rat Fink drawing of the GT/CS. Johnny Ace actually worked with Ed Roth at Roth studios. It took him over 6 months - partly our going back and forth on 'look and feel' and partly due to his poor health...

Hello everyone. Many of you do not know me, but for a few years I became one of the experts of the California Special. I had one of the best CS and loved my family here. For those who do remember me, I still am alive! I will go straight to the point: I have two "California Special" pins...

Paul asked me to post this here. It is also posted on the SAAC site. Casey -------------------- For this GT/CS Book update, let me first express my appreciation for the patience of those who have made book reservations and everyone else that has been waiting for this book for so long. I am...

1968 Mustang GT/CS California Special VIN 8R01C142473 Sunlit Gold Well, the time has finally come for me to move on from my GT/CS. I have too many cars and one has to go to make room. I know it may be a shock to everyone, but sometimes in life it’s just time to move on. This is hard - so, I...

I can't remember if I posted this here. Sorry if it is a repost. But wanted my CS family to know I now am a proud Shelby GT-H owner.... ============== My birthday present this year is a 2007 Mustang Shelby Hertz convertible. It is black with gold strips. No official tags yet (though I have...

Well, for my birthday (Dec 20) I bought myself a 2007 Shelby Hertz convertible. I had rented one in LA last year and fell in love with it. This one came from Hawaii to auction and a dealer in Dallas bought it. I flew to Dallas with my daughter and we drove it back. It is awesome! I know...

Shelby Amercian Automotive Club (SAAC) has now added the GT/California Special to their site due to the Shelby and Little Red heritage of our cars!!!!! I know some people aren't into SAAC and I dont mean to imply everybody should be. But, I was always hoping SAAC would some day recognize our...

I am in need of a running flathead v8 for my '36 ford project. Please PM me if you have one for sale or know of leads. Thanks, Casey

I noticed on my all original 36 ford that there is only a keyed door lock on the passenger side - there is NOT one on the drivers side. I have asked around and this is the case for many early year cars, but no one seems to know why. So....Why is there a door lock only on the passenger side of...

Several of you have asked me to post pictures. So, here is the 'ole rusty pickup that will become my next hot rod. It was the "real deal" barn find. It came with a free rat nest (including rat pee rust), and as I was tracing the wiring I found some of it to be organic - ie, they were'nt...

What is the original color of the brake drums? I am cleaning my wheel wells now and want to paint the drums. My CS is a daily driver, so I dont need the exact paint number....just the basic color (silver, black, grey?). Thanks! Casey

I bought a rallye wheel for my spare tire in order to match the rest of the wheels and tires (MCA requires tires to match). It would look better with the brushed trim ring. Does anyone have an extra one around they would like to sell me. Driver quality....not looking for perfection. I just...

Well.....while the Dow is down 40% from last year and in a free fall the last few days, it sure is nice to be able to go out to the garage and see my GT/CS, touch and feel it and then take a ride in it. At least it is an asset that did not evaporate along with all the paper assets on the Dow...

Just turned the calendar over and there is David in his GT/CS smoking the tires down LACR. Nice shot - and it is so cool that we have every type of GT/CS represented from MCA Gold concours to raw drag racers like David. Congrats David on a great calendar shot. Is it possible to best your...

My 347 has developed a chirping noise. It is not any of the belts or accessories as we went through the process of elimination with these. The mechanic is saying that it is fuel pump eccentric. He determined this by taking out the mechanical fuel pump, and adding an electric pump and the...

I went to the Chi-Town (Chicago) Kruze last weekend. It was a blast with probably 800 cars (maybe more). I finally got my chance to get pictures of my GT/CS with the downtown skyline in the background - finally in hopes of making the GT/CS calendar this year :grin: Check it out....I think...
