Yes I did.

I pulled these pictures from my files because the car is in winter storage. I will get better ones in the spring.

Yes I hope to start the restoration on the 68 GT350 this year. I would like to have it completed for the 2018 season when it will be 50 years old.

I am sad to sell our HCS but could use the funds for the Shelby project if I wish to get it done by 2018.
My dad has a 68 GTCS and a 1968 J code GT HCS that will be mine some day so I will still have some of our favorite cars around.

Thanks everyone for the kinds word! It will be had to see it leave our garage.

Going through the photos again I noticed the white pinstripe, that looks very smart and I see it listed as a factory option.

I have it registered for the MCA national show in Lincoln NE. so I hope to still have it then. I will however entertain reasonable offers till then and a bit more reasonable after.
BTW we have three HCSs and four GTCSs registered for the show it would be nice to have a few more for the fiftieth display.
Neil are you going to have one ready by July?

Thanks for the kind words, coming from a builder of some really beautiful cars that means a lot.

You can get up close and really check it out in Lincoln. After the show I am ready to start my restoration on the 68 GT350. I will be ready to make a deal on the 68 HCS.
