I first heard about my cs from my father, he is a truck driver in Northern California. I was looking for a project car and actually bought a 67 fastback already when he told me there was a California Special sitting in a ditch on someone's property up there. I had only seen pictures of a GT/CS...

I'm just becoming a UPS package car driver after almost 7 years in the hub, wanted to become a classic car restorer but only became a part timer in the hobby, who knows maybe there's still time (I hope!).

Awful lighting, but I got a couple of pics! Looks like something is missing, must have had some different kind of hood locks once. http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=473 http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=big&p=474

I'll have to stop by the garage tonight and get a few shots, but in my memory I remember something taller that was threaded inside, like a metal dowel type of thing that had threads on the inside. I'll have pictures up by morning but I can tell from the pic that you posted they are different...

I looked at some of the galleries here, nobody seems to have a picture of those brackets, we all focus on the engine! Do you know of one that shows those?

Well it appears to be the original brackets to me, when I got the car the twist locks were already long gone but all the hardware underneath them is still there. I will get some more pictures of that area today and post them up this evening some time. They should be original though, they seem to...

I'm sorry, was your question about my car or someone else's?

Right now it looks like there are about 3 or 4 GT/CS's on ebay right now, all in excellent to pretty good shape. Maybe this is weird, but am I wrong if I said there are fewer "project" cs's than restored ones? I understand a lot of cars have been restored and are not considered "done" by their...

Hey if I jack up the rearend of the car and then spin 1 tire by hand and the other tire spins the same way does that make this rearend a posi or limited slip diff? I always thought that if you turned one tire on an open diff the other tire turned the opposite direction. When I decode the vin it...

Yes if it goes up for sale I will post it here first, right now I'm trying to figure out why it is overheating, I have the heater core out and bypassed, it has a brand new radiator and the timing looks good. I'm leaning on maybe head gaskets and see what happens. I kept the original FOMOCO...

Opened my box of foglights, wow I am surprised it's been so long! 2 say foreign glass, 2 say Made In England. Sorry if that messes anything up. When I looked at my CS the one foglight that is not as busted as the other just says England. Probably the original that came with the car, it is also...

Had to add pics in the gallery . My pics were too huge to add in the forum. http://www.californiaspecial.com/forums/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=69
