I'm glad to see this article, as it furthers the GT/CS' popularity, and I thank Mustang times for running it.
I read that the (absolutely beautiful!!) yellow '68 CS has won a few MCA gold awards. For anyone getting a good look at the photos of that CS, here are a couple of things to notice in this article for future CS concours detailing:
-The tailight frames have black paint on them. That is not correct.
-The black hood stripes are glossy black. They should be low-gloss black.
-The deluxe steering wheel was a dealer upgrade, and is acceptible, but the woodgrain on the lower console is incorrect for a standard interior. Only the deluxe interior has the wood on the lower console.
I just wanted to point these things out, not to nitpick, but to point out what we're trying to do right now with changing the MCA rules (the taillight frames not having black paint, and the grille being dark grey metallic, not black). Seeing "incorrect" all-gloss hood stripes is common on restored Mustangs (in particular, Mach 1 and Boss cars, and shakers, too.)
It's an uphill battle to undo these rules for the GT/CS, but worth the "correction" to make sure that owners are not docked for these things, making it fair for all.
