    1968 Need Feedback on Restoration Plans - Be Gentle

    I have a Highland Green C-Code that I have nearly completed all the metal work on. Next is body work and paint. I have the new GT/CS Recognition guide and it is incredibly thorough and a beauty. My name isn't in the registry either but I get to own the car so I'm not too worried about it...

    For Sale 1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS California Special Re-Creation

    Found this online. Grille, Fog Lights and rims are wrong but looks like a clean car. Not sure why they did all the upgrades and left front and rear drum brakes though. Although I am not a fan of copies, it is nice to see a tribute to the California Special. It reminds me how special they are...

    Shelby and GT/CS

    I've often wondered how we fit into the Shelby club. The recent post on the end to the Shelby / SAAC legal battles has brought it to mind again. So I ask you, the members of California Special.com this question: Is the GT/CS really a Shelby? I often see Shelby-inspired and based on Little...

    Looking for this Mustang

    I am trying to find my parent's old GT/CS. It was California license plate WUY 631. It was a J Code that was blue (not sure what shade exactly) with black vinyl top and deluxe interior. I have a picture but can't figure out how to post it here.

    Crate Engines & Smog

    I've just purchased a GT/CS without an engine. It's going to be a RestoMod since I want to drive it regularly. Since it's not a numbers matching situation, I was looking at crate engines. I am looking to keep it under $3000 so what companies do the members of the forum recommend for crate...

    Unpriced Project Car

    I came across this one on Cars.com. It's a real project and the pictures show more of the engine and transmission inside the car than out (in one of the pics). Looks like they did all the body work (before and after pics). Someone will see it as a beauty so I have posted it here for their...

    Body Work

    I am trying to find out more about major body work. Since I'm looking at my first project GT/CS, I'm trying to understand how difficult it is. I don't mind it taking a lot of time, I just want to make sure that I can do it right. It is rusted through along the bottom of the panels, fenders...

    Trying to find my old CS/GT

    I am looking for one specific car. It was sold originally to my mother in 1968 whose name was typed in the Owner's Manual. It was sold to my grandmother and she drove it less than 1,000 miles a year for 20 years. I bought it from her when I was 17 and sunk a fortune into it. It was my...
