...occurred today with Renee's bringing her new CS to Grass Valley. I met her in Auburn with the '69 CJ, then followed her up Hwy. 49 to rendezvous with the rest of the flock. We had intended to pose the entire collection, but with threatening skies and little time, we opted for just the blue cars.

It was so nice to have this celebrity GT/CS in my own yard for the day! Its clear why it's such the show winner! Renee also let me ( and TJ) drive it leisurely around the "hood" to the "hypnosis" of every motorist, golfer and dog walker we passed!

Paul & Zach - we commend you! and Renee - congratulations again and thank you for bringing this beauty by!! You're in for some serious fun come show season!! :)

Had a great time in Grass Valley today with my new GT/CS. Tim was a wonderful host and we got some great shots of the three blue Mustangs together. It started out as a sunny day, but quickly got cloudy. We managed to get in a few shots before I needed to get home to beat the rain. Tim got a chance to drive her, and we got quite a few looks all day. I also got a lot of attention on the way home from Grass Valley!! One couple was taking pictures on their cell phones as I drove down Hwy 80 to Loomis.

Oh, by the way, Tim did fix the break light problem that I had! Thank you so much Midnight Special! You are the best!!!

...Indeed Rob, the "blues" are a little different. The true AP Blue would be Renee's while the HCS is slightly darker and the third (clone), a tinge lighter... The two latter cars are varyingly "restomodded" and tho beautiful; not portrayed as "correct".

Bill, we didn't parade them that day. but look forward to doing that soon :) Another nice combo will be the "red, white & blue" cars to be displayed during our upcoming air show...in front of a P-51 no less :)

What great photos, I have a Acapulco Blue CS and a Brittany Blue 67 GTA convertible. Sadly the two have never been together as the CS has been in getting her right and drive conversion since it arrived in Australia. I assume Renee's car is the correct Acapulco Blue?

What a lot of fun that looks like. Wish I was there for more reasons that one. I'm sick of snow, ready for some summer fun.
