Hi All, I have just placed a copy of Paul Newitt's 2nd book, the GT/CS 1996 Registry, for sale on eBay. The link to it is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/170967361698?item=170967361698&viewitem=&vxp=mtr Please note that the book is being sold at no reserve. I'd be happy to answer any questions...

Hello All, I've just listed on eBay my copy of the first California Special book by Paul Newitt. I am selling the book at no reserve. You can view the listing here...

That indeed "was" my car. Tom is correct: I brought the car to the Car Corral in Hershey, where it generated a lot of interest and comments. Sold it Friday morning to a man from the Netherlands who runs a classic Mustang business. Didn't take them long to ship it and flip it! I owned the car...

I worked for Volvo for 31 years; used to wrench on these at the dealership when they were just "used cars". I have no clue if anyone's V8 would fit; have never seen a conversion on an 1800, but have seen them on the full-size Volvos. Off the top of my head: Pro's: * mechanically robust *...

Hey Tom, Happy Birthday! Sorry I'm late with the well wishes. Hope to see you at an East Coast event soon. Richard

X-code was certainly available with GT pkg Hello All, I've posted on this topic before, and will state it again: I own a GT/CS with the X-code engine. My Marti report (attached) clearly states that my car left the factory with the GT package. I've owned this car for about 8 years, and it's...

Hi Rich, I plan on attending this year, first time in a while for me (last time, it was 100 degrees!). But first, I'll need to put the engine back in the car! Pulled the 390 out on Sunday, to fix some exhaust manifold leaks, and do a general clean-up. Intending to reinstall within 4 weeks or so...

Tom, the links worked fine for me. Try copying and pasting (which I did not need to do). BTW, will you be there? I plan on it, first time for me in several years. Richard

Hi CougarCJ, Thank you very much for the info, and especially for the link to the Cougar parts website! As the owner of an X-code GT/CS, it has been a struggle to find certain engine parts unique to my car. As you may realize, many Mustang books and Mustang vendors do not even acknowledge the...

Hi Rich and everyone else, I recently found the Atlantic City website with the auction results, so I have lots more detail about the 2 GT/CS's which sold. I thought this audience would find this of interest: Car #1, 8R01C156713, white, with 351 Cleveland and non-original interior and wheels...

I attended the Atlantic City auction on Friday and saw both these cars. First, the white one was IMHO a disaster, in that it had incorrect engine, wheels, and interior. It was also in fair condition. The red car, on the other hand, was very nice. I had a chat with the owner, who showed me the...

Hi All, After 7 truly delightful years with my California Special, I've decided to move on. Please see my ad on www.hemmings.com at: http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsforsale/ford/mustang_california_special/ I have the Marti Report, of course, which confirms that this is a very highly...

Hello All, We had a fantastic day yesterday (Saturday) at Fords at Carlisle, in Carlisle PA. In spite of the tortuously hot weather, the turnout of GT/CS's, both old and new, as well as HCS's, was fantastic. It was a personal honor for me to meet and spend considerable time speaking with Bob...

I'm fairly certain that statistically, Lime Gold was the 2nd most popular color for all Mustangs in 1968.

Hi Broadway Blue, I got the issue (May '08) yesterday, and didn't flip through it until this evening. Yes, that is my car, and I had no idea it was going to be in the magazine. (BTW, the article title is "The Rally Boss", and it starts on p. 42. My car is pictured on p. 44.) My co-driver and...

Hi Paul, Your survey is sitting on my desk, but I've been traveling on business for 3 of the last 5 weeks. I'm now home for a while. I'll get this in the mail to you ASAP. I have your first 2 books, and I'm greatly looking forward to the new one. Thanks for all that you do for the GT/CS community.

I'm at Carlisle many times during the year (I live in NJ), but have never taken my '68 GT/CS X code there. It's definitely in my plans to do so in 2008 (probably just Saturday, weather permitting). Hope to see many other GT/CS's and HCS's there also.

Hi Paul, If you're still counting: I would definitely purchase 2 books. I don't care about the book number. You already have all the info on my car. Thanks for all your efforts. Deestix (Richard R. in N.J.)

Mr too-many-cars, I first want to say, congratulations on the purchase, and welcome to our little club. I thought this car looked familiar, and I just pulled out my files from 2003, when I started looking in earnest for a GT/CS for myself (I save almost everything). Sure enough, sometime in...

I lucked out: my GT/CS was originally sold in Hawaii, as per my Marti Report. I live in NJ and have never been to Hawaii in my life. BUT, a colleague from work went to Hawaii two weeks ago, and with a photo of my car and a copy of the Marti report in hand, visited the Ford dealer, which is still...
