Hi Armond! Good to see you here

 

[Armond]

Yes I am on the other Forums. Thanks for the welcome. I am current working on the Brit blue R code Cal special car. I will be searching here and asking some questions. The car is pretty much original, but there are always questions. Thanks!

...Welcome, Armond. I really enjoy your website!

 

[Armond]

Thanks Tim! I need to update it and I will soon.

I was wondering the same thing myself. I recall that it was up for sale a few years back--did it sell?

 

[Armond]

Yes he sold it to one of my customers I introduced him to.

Hi Armond,

Welcome to the this great site. I was more than interested seeing your post, and the fact that you are in Lehi, Ut. Having been born and raised in Lehi before moving to the Great Northwest. I am also in shock learning that John NcGilvary sold his car. I don't recall it being for sale. Anyway I enjoyed looking at your website and your great work.

Thanks Ralph! John had his reasons and if he wants to expand that I'll leave that to him. He sold it to the right guy!

Hey Armond how about a pic of the bay? was the starter delay relay still in place when it came in.

Armond, great website. It looks like you do really nice work.

Has anyone seen the Marti figure for how many GTCS Cobra Jets were built? Just curious.

There were only 3 GT/CS's made with 428s.

Edit: "They only made 3-factory 428 GT/CS cars. They made 9-CJ HCS cars though. Of the 9-HCS cars produced, I think 6 are accounted for." From GTCSMustang

Got 7 of the 9 in the registry, now. This # 7 is in northern California, 2 to go and hope they show up in my lifetime.

Here is a shot of the starter delay. It is the original, it has been painted with some silver paint. I'll restore it back. It is mounted differently than the Dearborn cars I have done. Mounted above the solenoid rather than with it. Also a picture of the right front inner fender, very cool.
