Hi David! Thanks for taking the time to watch and support us!

Great review! As a owner of a 19', GT/CS I really enjoyed it and also your recent CS coupe review too! I agree with your "Nit Picking"....... to a point. The front spoiler / splitter IS a Performance Pack item, check the spec sheet, it's visibly bigger then the standard. The mid-door side striping, fake side scoop, and offset grill emblem are positioned to follow the original 68 GT/CS, which I believe Ford did the right thing in following the original. A little over 4100 68's were built, thats it! There was also a "High Country Special." An original big block GT/CS is pushing $150K+, a really rare car! BTW the break in period is 1000 miles and recommends no redlining, just saying. Keep up the good work!

Buyer better be damm happy with the package because there are no options on,wheels ,interior ,brakes ,no magnaride ,no preformance pack,only 5/10 colors on the palette,no black out allowed ,no 3.73 gears ,however i do think it would be easier to take in the soft top especially in california special emissions state.so why would anyone want the pp front spitter? further that california special srcipt on rear decklid panel is a far cry from the chrome script on the 68

And what's wrong with Knit Picking? I've been Knit Picking up here in the Ice Box ever since new the new Ice Age arrived. I've completed two pairs of socks, two pairs of gloves and now I'm working on a sweater. It's also going to have a BIG "M" on the front and a BIG "M" on the back. The questions is what does the "M" stand for. Well tonight it's going to stand for Mustang, but tomorrow . . . . . . . . it just might stand for McLaren. lol Okay, "without further adieu," man I've got to stop watching you tube. Okay, "with that being said, " yeah, that's not much better is it? Okay, here's some of my knit one pearl two comments: 1. I won't re-comment over your Zonks because I agree with all of them. 2. But I will enhance some of your Zonks. A) The side stripe should be moved down and it should be done in red. B) Keeping the above in mind it would join the brake calipers together, which should be done in red. C) I would like to see the shock tower strut support done in red. 3. Now here's one you missed. The front chrome emblem. Hey, I like chrome and I like the emblem, but I have to question it's offset location. I think I'd remove it and then "play" with centering it first and "play" with an up or down location or a possible elimination of it. Maybe just use under the hood somewhere. 4. Lastly, I would not call it the "California Edition" any more. Ford paid their tribute to California already with the name in 2018, so drop the name. Plus, I don't know how well the name is received by the other state dealerships. GM did something similar when they came out with the Corvette Malcom Konner Edition because of Konner's unbelievable high sales. Nice tribute, but because of all the "flak" GM received from competing dealers, they never did it again. Now I've really got to get back to my knitting before my sheep stop producing wool and start keeping it all to themselves because of the frigid temps. Oh yeah, how about getting back to some McLarens? They've been my easiest and shortest comments ever in that the only item I'd mod on them is the front emblem. I'd remove and have it air-brushed in. Less wind resistance. lol Save the Wave and hustle your bustle over to the Rolex 24. Along with a plethora of subject matters for you to address, there are four "Special Edition" Vettes for you to review, although aside from their color, I don't how "special" they really are.
