Time to catch up on your toilet reading only you're not going to want to keep this book in the bathroom. You're going to want to keep it in the household safe or strong box because it is as rare as its subject matter. The Mustang GT/CS Recognition Guide & Owner's Manual by Paul Newitt has just arrived at our offices hot off the press and we're eager to tell you all about it.
Paul M. Newitt doesn't need an introduction with die-hard Mustang enthusiasts. Author and historian Newitt is known best for his deep knowledge of and commitment to the limited edition 1968 California Special Mustang hardtops produced at Ford's Milpitas, California assembly plant some 43 years ago.
This book isn't just about the classic '68 GT/CS and 1966-68 High Country Specials, it is also about the late-model S197 models that have roared onto showroom floors in recent years. So you get the full spectrum from four decades of limited edition GT/CS rides.
Although the GT/CS and High Country Special seem like a simple subject on the surface, they're in no way simple because this book is 224 glossy pages in length. It's thick, hardbound, striking, loaded with color - a real class act worthy of your hard-earned dollars. It goes into great detail like nothing ever has on this subject and it is nothing short of overwhelming because it is done so well. Newitt has spent years researching the GT/CS like no one else has; amassing data, photos, advertisements, interviews, statistics, and more addressing one of the most exciting limited edition Mustangs ever produced.
What made the GT/CS and High Country Specials exciting was their availability new to just about anyone with a modest budget. In base form with a six or small V-8, the GT/CS and High Country Specials were priced right for the average buyer. Yet, Ford didn't build very many of them. They were sold on a first come, first served basis. They could also be ordered just about any way a buyer wanted, including big-block 390 or 428 CJ power.
You could roll into your neighborhood looking like a high roller with the '68 GT/CS and High Country Special. They looked like a close cousin to the Shelby GT350 and GT500 rocket ships without the high price tag. And how they happened at all boiled down to raw persistence - people with vision at Ford who had the power to affect an exciting product the masses could afford. Kind of like the Mustang's original introduction all over again for those fortunate enough to be where the GT/CS and High Country Specials were sold.
Paul Newitt recaptures the excitement of the GT/CS development and introduction. He gets into deep down specifics you never knew about these limited edition Mustang rides. And in 224 pages, you can bet it gets mighty involved in a book you're not going to want to put down.
We're going to go into greater detail about this book in your Mustang Monthly Magazine in the months ahead. We just couldn't wait to tell you all about it. For more information go to www.pmndesigns.com or write to Paul M. Newitt Designs, P.O. Box 427, Danville, CA 94526.
