    old member introduction

    Hi all, it has been a while but I am back. I could never get messages from the site through the spam filters on my office computer so I re-registered. My old username was coniferhi. Some may remember I am in Colorado and have a 1968 HCS. Anyway it is good to be back. Mark

    hubcaps

    Does it have a Marti report or any original paperwork? See if it already resides in Paul's registry. Price sounds good if it is a true GT/CS, so try to verify. Mark

    DRAG RACING GT/CS's

    di81977, let me know when you are planning Bandimere, I would like to see your car run. I thought of taking my HCS out during this summers club clash but with a stock 289 and 4 speed I doubt I can get any kind of consistant runs going. I also have a 65 Vette convert that I may run on test and...

    Questions to Ask an Auto Painter

    I have had good luck with Dupont but lately I prefer PPG mainly because the supplier and tech support is close by. I would ask them to strip the car to bare metal to see what you really have and relplace bad sections with sheetmetal. I don't know about your car but old Mopars are getting...

    Question for HCS owners..

    As an HCS owner I would prefer to see items for HCS's alone. No offense to the GT/CS and understanding the marketing plan of 1968 but the HCS predates the GT/CS. If the demand is not there for seperate decals then a number breakdown on a GT/CS decal would work for me. I personally would not put...

    Automatic VS Standard

    4 speed manual all the way! Sport coupes should all be stick, of course they should all have had dual exhaust also.

    GM bought Ford???

    Today Ford offered early retirements or buyouts to its entire US hourly payroll employees, roughly 75,000 of them. They are closing the Windsor engine plant among others in an effort to reorganize the company into a smaller entity. They do not believe they will be profitable until 2008-2009. I...

    Sept 2006 Hemmings Muscle Machines

    I don't know if this has been mentioned here prior, but the September issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines has the Green Hornet on the cover and a very nice article with plenty of history on the car and the subsequent GT/CS. Mark.

    Digital Cameras

    Arlie, I have had the Kodak Easy Share for about 2 years now and I really like it. Easy to use and about $300 back then, Mark.

    Corvette Door Handles

    I have a 65 Vette and a 68 HCS, both are reflective of the style and engineering that both companies had to offer within their target. I consider both to be high water marks. I have Vette friends that tease me about the Mustang and visa versa. They don't understand (or they won't admit)that all...

    Possible 67 HC Convertible

    Arlie, I checked into this car about 6 months ago. The owner claims it was originally a 6 cyl and not an HCS car. Some previous owner did put the HCS badges on the car. I thought of making a 1968 HCS package convertible out of it , then thought better...$$$. I can check it out further if you are...
