This is a quote from 68GT390 from 1-21-05
I think it will answer your question unless Don has an update for us
"Welp, I've got some bad news and some good news. First the bad news. The two car's are going to be produced but, at different times. Now the good news. The GT/CS is going to be produced as a 1/18th scale model "Royal Maroon" but, not until 2006. The GT Coupe will be produced in 2005 as a 1/18th scale model, color yet to be determined.
Reason for delay on GT/CS - detail. The company producing the models wants to make an actual casting in chrome of the "California Special" and "Mustang" script that will actually attach to the model rather than using paint. They also want to produce all the original GT/CS parts in fiberglass rather than diecast. This takes time. They want to make this particular model as authentic as possible. As a GT/CS owner, I can appreciate this. Besides, a little more time won't kill me. I've been trying for several years now to get any of the diecast companies to take note of the 68 Coupe in and by it's self. The GT/CS model has been an added benefit. They originally wanted just my GT. Anyhow, I will post updates as they become available. As my son has always told me "A fine wine takes time" and he should know since he works for E&J Gallo Wines.
They have asked that I not release the name of the company at this time. They don't want to be inindated with tons of emails asking about the models. As for exact release dates don't have those yet. Once they get the pre-production models done they will be forwarding them to me to look at and then make a final decision as to actual release date for models. I'm as excited as anyone to see the final product but, as I stated earlier waiting a little bit longer won't hurt me. Heck I've waited this long no reason to get in a big hurry now. It's kinda like Grand Turismo IV, I've been waiting for 2 years for that to come out and now it's delayed until March 05. I'll keep making posts as more information becomes available.
Don"
Cheers!
