Hi fellow enthusiasts,
Today has been a wonderful day for all members of our family especially my uncle Mustafa for his purchase, 25 years ago before i was actually born (Being 20 now) My father owned a very nice Lime/gold 1968 Mustang GT/CS and it was perhaps the only GT/CS in England U.K. After selling it a number of times and purchasing it back too he finally lost track of it, and at that time the car only increased in value! My uncle Mustafa at this point was only about 10 years old and loved his older brothers car to bits (even cried to sleep for days when my father sold it!!) :'(
25 years later on 28/02/2005 we today picked up our 1968 ford mustang GT/CS from the ship port, we purchased the car from California in December 2004 and it was shipped last Month 21/01/2005 arriving today. The car is very original and has the following details:
1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS
Blackplate 'california' License Plates
58000 actual miles
289 2V Engine
Auto Transmission
Lime Gold w/ Matching Interior
Lucas Original Fogs
Original paint/Interior
ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST!
Hood Turn Signals
according to the Kevin Marti Report:
A/C - Which Blows Ice Cold
Power Steering
Power Disc Brakes
Wire cover Wheels with white sidewall tyres
California Special
Being 20 years old the hype this morning was unbelieveable as i have never been in/owned a mustang (My father although did, he had many), this being a GT/CS hence more anticipation, i barely slept last night as today was the day i longed for many years and especially over the past 2 months, as i was constantly on top of getting the car shipped contacting the seller and not to forget sorting out the darn customs here in the UK!!!
when we eventually made it to the port this morning i was very excited and was feeling really light headed as if i was breathing a tank of helium!!!When a staff member of the shipping company drove the car out of the warehouse i nearly fainted (hahahaha :-[) IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE - finally got the car loaded on the trailer and brought it home, where the excitement just amplified more! I couldn't get out of it or get bored of it!
I just wanted to share this with all you people as an experience that i had today of our first GT/CS Mustang since the 80's moreover i'm sure some of you felt the same thrill i did when you purchased yours! I'll post some pics ASAP!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you members of the registry for all your help and guidance and especially a huge thanks to John Mindedahl the seller, who was VERY HONEST and patient with this transaction and helped in any possible way he could to get the car to us! GREAT GENTLEMAN!
