Yes it is. That is when Bob Teets owned it. Man I can't wait for it to look like that again! Marty

One of the cars in this calendar up for auction on eBay is a '68 HCS.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Carroll-Shelby-...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=7767478695365621342

Marty, is this your car?

Yes, the red HCS IS now owned by Marty. I bought this car in the early '80's and sold it sometime later (I just had to have this '78 Silver Anniv. Corvette) to Ernie Gonqales, so it recently came out of that collection. This picture was taken by Jerry Heasley on Trail Ridge Road here in Colorado, for a Early Mustang Club of Colorado club photo shoot. My (this) car was featured in Mustang Monthly in February 1986, and the whole club shoot was featured in the Hot Rod Mustang Magazine in August 1987 ie. this magazine did a series of club profiles for awhile in the '80's. Believe it or not, we still run that license plate on my wif'e's Crown Vic. If Marti wishes those plates, I could claim "lost" and apply for new plates, maybe??????????? HC Bob here.

...Nice article! In '09 at a car show, I was approached by a guy who said he he found what could be that missing R-code in a S.F Bay Area garage. 'Said it was white with blue stripe, 428 with 'R' VIN and complete, but not driven and boxes stacked all around it. The elderly couple said they were hanging on to it for grand kids & such and offered no further dialog... This was in his former neighborhood where the garage happened to be open while he was driving by.

Cool article!

I wasn't going to sell my CS/CJ, then I met my now good friend John, and
saw how much he loves Mustangs, and how well he takes care of them.
He is also in a position to be able to restore it to a better than new condition,
and will never want or need to sell it.

I would say I have it darn good,
The guy that sold me the CS/CJ in 68, lives a block away,
The guy I sold it to and is going to restore the CS lives a mile away,
I will be able to see it when I want, drive it, and my friend wants me
be sitting next to the CS at car shows.

It's been awhile since I've made this offer and we've picked up some new members since then so for all the new members (and anyone else) let me know if you want a CD of all the GT/CS & HCS articles I've found over the years and I'll send one to you.

Just send me a PM with your mailing address.

Thanks,

Arlie

Marty;
I looked into my old Mustang Monthly's and found a good copy of February 1986 with the article on Bob Teet's car ( now yours ) can I send it to you? PM me with address if interested.

1981 December Hi Performance Cars Article

Some of these old articles are a riot.

"According to FoMoCo, production equalled just about 10,000 units....."

Mustang monthly artical

I've been looking for an old issue of Mustang Monthly that featured the GT/CS in depth. It was not an artical featuring a single car, it was an artical going over the history of the GT/CS's. Information included in the article were things like how many were built with each engine, color, interior, options (down to how many had bench seats). It also had information about the registery.

I had a subscription to the magazine from the early 90's to about the year 2000. I had that month with my GT/CS for years and its gone missing. I'd really love to get a copy of it again. Anyone have an idea of what month it was?

Thx

So the article was from in a Mustang Monthly magazine published from 1990 to 2000?

Is this it?


Below are the only other GT/CS articles I have from the '90s
February 1983 Mustang Monthly (not exactly the '90s)
March 1993 Mustangs & Fords
Fall 1988 Mustang Illustrated
August 1993 Mustang Illustrated

Solid Gold

The "Solid Gold Investment" was definately the artical, I just seem to remember much more information being in it (Damn this getting old!). Thank you very much for loading in onto the page.
