Hi Everyone,
I signed up on the site a long time ago but never got around to posting.
Started checking it out again and thought it would be good to introduce myself and get that little message off the top of my page that I haven't posted yet
My name is Rich and I live in Hopewell Junction, NY (Southern Dutchess County).
I have 2 Mustangs a 1968 California Special (GT/CS) that I have owned for 3 years and a 1996 Mustang GT Convertible that I have owned since new with about 32,000 miles on it.
Hope to see some of you at our club's show in Kingston, NY on 7/10/10. (Hudson Valley Mustang Association)
Stop by and say hi I'm usually manning the grill most of the day or out on the showfield taking pictures.
I take a LOT of pictures at shows and post them here:

Here is some info on my cars:
1968 Mustang GT/CS "California Special"
Acapulco Blue
289 4v (originally 2v), Automatic, Power Steering and Power Brakes
Previous owner converted the 2bbl to 4bbl, added Chrome GT Wheels and a Flowmaster Dual Exhaust.
The car was in California until around 2000 and then was in North Carolina before I got it in 2007.
I owned another GT/CS from 2005-2007 with a 302 4v, 3 speed, manual steering and manual brakes - needless to say my current car is a bit more pleasurable to drive but didn't mind the old one either.
1996 Mustang GT Convertible
Red with Black Interior and Black Top.
5 speed with all factory options except the rear end gear option.
Original owner with about 32,000 miles on it currently
Only mods I did were Eibach Springs and a K&N Filter.
Had a lot of plans when I first got it but bought a house, got married and started a family a few years later ... so at this point "they're only original once" has become my motto for this one Always think about selling it but usually after a drive I start second guessing that decision ...
Here are pics of the cars
