[CS68]

does any of you have a detail pics of the stripes in the hood. recently an accident happen to my California special the carb got on fire and damage my hood which is minimal but it bother me so for long I being thinking about adding the black stripes to my CS and I think that this is the time. because I have to paint the hood anyways. i also will be instaling a edelbrock intake manifold and a 650 carburator. what do you think about that? my car is near 100% original. all matching numbers

Sounds great Carlos! Those hood stripes are nice. I`ve been thinking of doing the same to mine someday.

Mustang Monthly did an article on stripes that showed the layout for 1968 hood stripes. I'll look for it and scan it in later this evening and post it here.

Hi, I am new to the site. Last summer I purchased a 68' GT/CS "J" code white with red stripes. Options included were tilt-away steering, black vinyl roof. I registered the car after purchase on this site and would like to know if it would be listed in the new registry. I love the car and it gets many looks and questions, especially being in N.Y. no one has really seen one, although many have heard. I am aware of someone else in the Hudson Valley that owns one, this summer I would like to meet up with him, hopefully at the Bear Mountain Car Cruise. Any other feedback would be great.
Thanks, Mario

post your vin and we can tell you if it was listed in a previous registry. Tilt wheel makes in kinda rare for a CS.

Hi Mario,
Welcome to the site!!
I might be that elusive CS you're looking for in the Hudson Valley
Not sure but I'm the only other one around.
I saw your car for sale on eBay right after I got mine. It was on eBay and in Brewster right?
Did you take your car to Somers Commons cruise one night?
Someone told me at a Friday night cruise I was at you were there. Been hoping we would meet up.
Your car has the rosewood accents in the interior correct?
I think this cruise is the one with pics of your car

Never made Bear Mountain or Somers last year but hope to this year.
Drop me an email or PM and let me know where you are. I'm in Dutchess County.
I know there is another CS same color as mine a little north of me. I only know because I was at a cruise in Poughkeepsie one night and someone called the guy up and took pics with his phone.

For those not aware - there is a cruise every Wednesday night at Bear Mtn State Park in Harriman, NY. Hundreds of cars show up each week. It's centrally located to NY, NJ and PA so it gets a lot of cars. Last year they started limiting newer cars.
Here are some pics from it

Sorry everyone! - went way off topic here ... not many CS's here in the Northeast so like to grab the chance to meet up when possible.

Not sure if I'm the one you're looking for but drop me a note and let's try to meet up.
There is someone here from Derby, CT too - want to try and meet up at a show as well. 3 GT/CS in the Northeast at an event - that could be a first!

Just joined the Hudson Valley Mustang Club as well - going to my first mtg next week.

Is this your car in the pic attached?
The other is a shot of a Bear Mtn Cruise night

Hi Mario,
I left you a Private Message yesterday.
We missed each other at shows last summer but hopefully we can meet up this summer - where are you located?

Make sure you get the info to Paul for the registry and welcome to the site!

Just want to clarify Mario - Paul N. is who takes care of the registry, not me. Paul is on this site frequently and can be sent a Private Message (PM).

Hi Mario,

I grew up in Yorktown - lived there for 30+ years. Now in Dutchess County.

This link will bring you to the thread where you will find how to get the info to Paul for the new book. Hopefully it's not too late...
