I got the Cal Special to the MCA in Southern Utah. I have a few things to finish and fix. MM did a photo shoot of it this morning. It took Gold so we are happy. Here are a few pics from the show Friday evening.

Thanks guys! I thought you'd like to see a few pictures of it pretty much finished! John the original owner was able to take it for a ride and smoked the tires. We had a great time!

Ya Guys,
Two GT/CS'S at the show and two MCA GOLDS, how cool is that.

Got to have a foto shoot for the mags. and drive my CS.
I may not still own it, but my CS still lives just up the street from me,
and I will always be the original owner. Armond done a gret job on the
restoration, and I even got to help.

Jerry Heasley (Rear Finds guy) done the photo shoot and he was real
excited about the CS, said it was one of the rarest cars he had ever
done.

He told me to act normal when he was taking my pictures for the magizine,
but how in hell was I going to do that after driving my CS from the show to
the old St George airport, the last time I drove it was in 1980.

Buy the way, my friend Johnny Johnson, who now owns my CS was driving
his 69 Mach 1 (Gold winner) to the photo shoot and we went the gears at the airport. He then drove the CS laid about 20 feet of rubber, jumped out and took a picture.

The Mach 1 is a very cool Mustang, but IMO it would not have a chance in a
race against my CS/CJ.

Armond sorry I missed you when I came by. I did get to meet John. I was disapointed that I did not get to judge the car this time. May be in Concord CA.?
