There is a registry for GT/CS Mustangs run by a fellow named Paul Newitt.
As I recall, he has written a book about them too.

There is very little in the way of parts that are different from any
other '68 Mustang coupe. In fact, except for the Marcal fog lights,
you can get all the parts you need from most Mustang mail order places
like Tony D. Branda, Mustangs Unlimited, California Mustangs, etc.

You need a copy of Hemmings Motor News, Mustang Times, and the SnakeBite.
Dash bezel is available anywhere, including Ford. The gauges can be re-
calibrated (try ClockDoc) or picked up from a swap meet.

Reproduction windshields are available from OEM Glass ($$$), as are
the back window. Look around at a swap meet, before you spend big.

A car cover is available anywhere. Go for a 4-ply TrimTech, or an
Evolution 4 ($89 - 129).

Hope this helps!

Not sure what you are looking for. Some items are not available and must be made,
some can be purchased from many of the suppliers and others are going up in price
quickly since Ford made their mind up not to be in the old Mustang part business
anymore.

Sounds like typical parts available through any Mustang parts dealer. Sorry can't do
anything about the prices. If the car is restored you will likely not want to get
much of these parts as used especially if your at the upper edge of the definition

Good luck and we're all here to assist
