I just recently purchased a gns from a family friend. I would like so suggestions on how to restore it. I know I’m going to pay for the body work to be restored.

I bought my 68 GNS in 1970 from Bowen Scarf ford in Kent Wa.I believe that I was the second owner. It didn’t have the plaque on the dash or any indication that there had been one . I wanted to know if they can still be purchased. and where on the dash they would be mounted—thanks Paul

Growing up in West Seattle, I always watched my neighbor Ruth who lived right across the street coming or going in her Gold Nugget. Her husband would always get a new Chrysler every year, but she just kept driving her mustang. Much to my surprise after years away from home, she contacted me and said she wanted me to have the car (she did not want to give it to her grandson, because he would just tear it up). Ruth was 87 when she gave the car to me, and gave me the call to come and get it. when i received the car, i noticed in the paperwork that she was actually the second owner. The original owner only kept the car about six months, and his name was on the plaque on the dash. That’s ok, i still call the car Ruth. Still in good shape with 130000 miles, i too need advise on how to restore this gem properly. RIP Ruth, and THANK YOU!!

[...] Ford went pretty crazy in 1967 & 1968 with California Specials, Color of the Month Mustangs, Gold Nugget Specials, Lone Star Limited, Ski Country Specials and so on. But the High Country Special actually started [...]

Hey all you who have posted comments about Golden Nugget Special (GNS) Mustangs. I am seriously trying to get in touch with as many GNS owners or previous owners as possible. Nugget Freak posted on here that he and a buddy both own one, Earnie Heald owned one and was trying to sell it, Bill O’Gorman owns one and responded to my email today, Jeff Boomhower owns one and Scott Rear owns one. If any of you still post on this website please respond to my email or phone number: milspecsniper@yahoo.com or (541)626-9527 and if anyone else knows how to get in touch with any of these posters or other owners of any Gold Nugget Special Mustangs please feel free to contact me as well. Thank you. Jeff Wheeler (GNS Owner)
