This chart contains a list of GT/CS and HCS specific part numbers, interchanges and possible sources to help on your restoration or for verifying a potential purchase.

While most part numbers have been verified using my own unrestored HCS, a huge thanks goes out to Paul Newitt and his book "GT/California Special Recognition Guide and Owner's Manual." This GT/CS "bible" is an excellent knowledge base and helped me peice together conflicting or unreadable part numbers on my own car.

Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of this information, however mistakes do happen. Please let me know if you find an error.
