I've just started helping a friend looking for a very nice GT/CS for sale.  Big block only.  428 preferred...were there really only three of those made?  (Hello, Biggie!)

Any leads, please PM me.

Thanks,

Try here, I'm not sure about a 428. 390's for sure but maybe you can research that here or ask and someone on the site will respond.

The most prized versions are the big-block 390 and Cobra Jet 428 versions, of which only a handful were made. The GT/CS has become one of the most owner-appreciated classic Mustangs, since it has both the qualities of a Shelby GT, and a Mustang coupe. Its uniqueness, and rarity draws great attention on the road, and at car shows. Values can range from as low as $8,000 for a restorable small-block driver version, to up to $150,000 for a Concours 428 CJ version.

PS - if any of you come across a red small block (had CA black lic ZAZ 235) steer clear of it. It was my sisters and got T boned (Cal Poly Pomona parking lot) by the A pillar. Opened the door gap on the passenger side 1/2". They fixed it but the lower left AC vent never fit tight.

Brett, thanks for the head's up on your sister's old car. 

My friend prefers blue, white, or dark red on a GT/CS, but isn't ruling out anything so long as it's a great condition big block car.

He's also considering '68 Cougars...big block XR-7Gs and GT-Es. He likes black, dark olive green, white, dark red, and most of the blues on those.   

I'm in touch with Royce and Propayne, on those. 

If anyone knows of any for sale, please PM me. Finder's fee gladly paid for the right car.
