. Who's going to Vegas?

[clubpro]

I just wanted to check and see if any of you good people are planning on attending the Vegas birthday bash next week. Two cars will be driving down from Sacramento, one GT/CS and one HCS. Anyone else planning on going?

Cheers,

Ron

 

[gscott]

I'll be there but in my 65 Fastback. I drive the 68 GTCS daily but it's not show worthy yet.

We have about 15 cars from Boise heading down on Wednesday. Bonnie and Clyde (my Brittany Blue 4 speed S code GT/CS) is months out, so I will be trailering our 1970 grabber blue boss 302.

I will be checking out GT/CS & HCS cars for clues on how to finish out B&C.

How's your car coming along?

Scott,

I am in a kind of holding pattern right now. Neil, will probably have the car after the one he is working on now, finished before I get this one done. LOL

It is hard to find motivation to work on my cars, when I spend 8-10 hours a day, playing with old cars and parts. :embarass:

Kinda like the Mechanics car never runs and the Cobblers kids have no shoes.

Hi all....driving my 08 grabber to vegas in the morning. 68 cs isn't ready for something like this just yet.

Mike, did u happen to get my email last week regarding an early Gtcs I ran into? Not literraly, I saw it at mustangs plus show last week. For the other gurus in here...vin is 8r01c113096. Document states it as "California mustang promotion vehicle"... Has all the right indications of a true cs. Pics if y'all wanna see...pretty sure the car isn't in registry. Ivy gold Ed here.

That's great news Bob! I look forward to seeing you and catching up. Good to hear that you are bringing some HCS decals too. I need two for my car plus I would like to have a couple of extras just in case. We will be there Wednesday around noon so maybe we can get together for dinner Wednesday night.

I would love to see pictures! After that I may send for a Marti on it. My car is 8R01J123143 with a January 2nd build date. I am always interested in early cars that may have been much earlier than conventional "GT/CS" wisdom. My cars Marti says it was born as a Gold Nugget Special, but some of these were rumored to have been converted into a Gold Nugget GT/CS so to speak. The car you saw should have the early recessed rear quarter reflectors and many of the early "promotional" GT/CS cars were loaded with options. My car is.

Hi Bob,

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I got my HCS back from having all 4 brakes completely redone with new drums, shoes and wheel cylinders and had to get it ready for the trip. My cell is 916-747-4745 and we are heading out of here tomorrow (Tuesday) around 1pm driving to Bakersfield where we will spend the night. We plan on being in Vegas no later than 1pm on Wednesday.

Cheers,

Ron

WOW, I have never seen that many Mustangs in one place. Had a great talk with Bob Teets and Ron, clubpro, Met a couple from Alaska with their '67 HCS and ran into an original owner 428 R code GT/CS. I thought it was John McGilvary's car, but it's not, looks identical. He said he's been on this site before. He told the story about how he bought it new. Saw a couple " barn" find Shelby's also. Time for a beer and unwind.

[JohnsCS/CJ]

That was me Bret, (John McGilvary), nice to meet you. My friend, Johnny, the new owner and my close friend and I were at the show. There is only one Brittany Blue Cobra Jet Cal. Special.

It was so cool, we were interviewed by the news and by at least three reporters. They filmed us and got the story of how I got the CS, and how my friend Johnny and I came to an agreement and he became the second owner.

I had many offers and turned them all down. Johnny lives just up the street from me and he loves Mustangs as much as I do. After a few years of talking Mustangs with him, I asked Johnny if he would like to buy the CS, cause he had the funds to restore the CS, and I did not and he agreed.

Ya its the best of all worlds for me, I am able see it restored to all its glory, drive it, shine it whenever I have the urge.

 

[Powell]

Great to hear from you John. It's so nice to see the "SPECIAL" special out at the show.

 

[clubpro]

It was a great collection of Mustangs and the High Country Special was well represented. Mine unfortunately had some overheating issues and didn't make it to Vegas. Here are some of our family photos from the show;

 

[clubpro]

Here is the rarest GT/CS made. It is the first Cobra Jet Mustang made and it has been with the same owner since new until just recently. The V.I.N. on the dash was even missing the engine designation letter because when it was built they hadn't decided what letter to give the 428 Cobra Jet.
