1968 My GT/CS in California Auto Museum

somethingspecial · Nov 15, 2012

In September, I placed my Highland Green CS in the California Auto Museum in Sacramento, Ca. for a special 1968 Exhibit. The other morning, I was watching the morning news and they did a segment on the exhibit and it featured my car. How cool. Just thought I would share.

Very cool Mike! The reporter was super obnoxious tho "whowee! look at this baby!" (referring to the roadrunner lol)

Yes, she was a little silly, but she was kinda cute too...:wink:

Mike,
Your car and its history with Tim make it so "special" to the members of this site. Your workmanship to bring it to this level is second to none! I feel it is the flagship of this site!!

...I can honestly say had it not been for Mike's never-ending enthusiasm and fact-finding, I would never have dicovered the true GT/CS experience (or this site) back in '05. When I bought (his) the car in 1978, I knew nothing about it other than it was a fire-breathing monster that people either loved or hated with little in between....but it was different...and I wanted to be different! That era (so I thought) had concluded with some pretty great stories

Never would I have imagined that a mere mention of those memories to Mike in the early '80s would culminate into "today" in a way volumes would have to be typed to adequately explain.

...And so it goes in my little corner of the world nowadays, surrounded by people who "make it happen" for people who really enjoy the value of the difference!

Congratulations again, Mike!

WOW, Thanks guys. I tried to restore the car to great standards, but I never knew you folks felt that way. Thanks again.

Geeezzzzee Tim, What are you trying to do, blow my humble image? LOL

speaking of great looking cars and Highland Green....... That one Neil just finished and sold is awesome. In my old age I am starting to appreciate the original "colors" these cars came in. My first 1967 Fastback had a Saddle interior and at the time I hated it..... Now I want one!!!

Rob if you like green and saddle I think youwill like our 67 GTA convertible that is Dark Moss Green with the deluxe Saddle Interior.

robert campbell · Nov 18, 2012

Marty,
Wow!!! GTA with air and tilt away!! Lower console and Exterior Decor Group!!!! That be one loaded car! Those are the options I could pick out! So, what option generates the color coordinated shift handle? and what is the power for this bad boy?

Val's Fastback started as a lime gold, lime gold interior 1967 GTA Fastback with a 390 and auto.

Rob

Ruppstang · Nov 18, 2012

Yes it is well equipped. Besides what you mentioned it has decor interior (that is where the color coordinated shift handle comes from), Power top, Rear folding glass, deluxe belts, tinted glass, PB, PS, Visibility group (lights in trunk, glove box and under the hood) AM-FM radio and the very rare convenience lights ( low fuel, park brake, door ajar and seat belt reminder lights). Sadly it is only powered by a C code 289. Oh if it were only a K code.

Val's Fastback looks Bad to the Bone wearing that black paint and all that go under the hood

robert campbell · Nov 18, 2012

My first Mustang had the visibility group. Gee whiz Rob, duh on the interior decor group (deluxe interior). Plain as day.... MY GNS has the convience group. Fun to keep the door ajar lights working.....

A funny story on interior decor group was a purchase of a 289 black 4 speed Coupe in my area. A one owner purchase! She said they bought the car becasue of the hard shell on the back of the front seat. Felt it would withstand kids kicking at them better!!

I noticed the color of your seat backs. As I know you are concurs expert, the darker brown is proper?
