Looking for '68 Coupe/GT/CS Vintage Racers

For a chapter in the book on racing the GT/CS, I'm looking for anyone who is into "vintage racing" their (1968) GT/CS. I've known of a couple in the past, and photographed one at Sears Point once.

I'm doing a bit on the '68 Trans Am cars, too. So, if you know of anyone who has a Terlingua Coupe (in yellow/black; real or reproduction), I'd like to hear from you, too.

And--anyone that has a '67 or '68 coupe with a rear spoiler (CS type), does it really work when out on the track? My research shows that they begin to work at about 110 mph.

(as a side note, I'm including David Nathan's drag racer in this chapter, too.)

Thanks to all for your help. You can post here, or via private message.

oh, gawd...I am so sorry, David. I was just watching the FOOD channel and they were talking about hot dogs, and...well...that is my lame excuse!

So sorry..I stand corrected.

Joe ,
only the simple stuff , like the Roller Idler arm - but it has already made a noticeable difference

Thanks Shaun. I'm anxious to hear how well it all works. I've been thinking about trying it on at least one of my cars.

Hey Shaun,

Neat site! I'll include it in the "sources" section for the book. I'm wondering how the roller bearing saddles work on the street? How does it feel on the road? Can you tell? At least, they won't squeak like OEM! LOL!

Thanks again--cool stuff!

Paul.

p.s. sorry for you, and the good folks of OZ about the loss of Steve Irwin (Croc Hunter).
