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

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.

Anyone see this months Automobile Magazine? Towards the rear of the mag there are auction results with a GT/CS featured. It sold for $19,000 and change. They describe what condition it is in and a little about the GT/CS. Not great, but remember there is no such thing as bad publicity. Mark

I am thinking of changing my stripes from white to black this summer and also adding the flat black hood areas. Does anyone have a source for high quality stripe kits? How hard are they to install? I am going to use a hair drier to remove the existing stripes, sound OK? I think the black...

I was looking for a new toy and came across a 1968-1/2 428 R code at the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois. I think they are asking $53K for this red fastback...FYI. Mark

I noticed that in January in AZ a Cal Spe will be auctioned at no reserve. It is a 302/auto in Sea Foam Green. Lot number is 419. It is "fully restored". Looks like Shelby wheels though. Mark.

Does anyone know if black stripes were ever available with highland green, or was white the only allowable color of striping? Thanks, Mark.

Hi all, any recommendations on rear leaf springs? I looked at Tony Branda and found 3 that would work. I want a little stiffer ride over stock and also was thinking of installing gas charged shocks front and rear. What about rear stabilizer bars? I want the HCS to have a little more aggressive...

I have what appears to be a small seal leak on my diff. If I drop the driveshaft and remove the series of bolts around the rear end what am I in for? Is the gasket fairly easy to replace at this point? Should I use silicone or Permatex in place of the gasket or in addition to the gasket? Thanks...

Anyone see this months Motor Trend? A comparison article between the 05 GT and the 06 Dodge Charger staged in San Fran. The Mustang wins! They also reference 1968 cars used in the movie. The 68 Charger was pretty fast for a heavy car but the 390 Mustang was slower than I would have thought...

This past Monday I was driving through a BP gas station and an Electric company truck backed into my right rear quarter panel. I took it in right away and got an estimate. Not really all that bad. The Electric company will pay for the repair. No damage to any fiberglass, tail lights or...

OK I should probably know this but I don't, so please don't laugh too hard. What does "lol" at the end of some posts mean? Is it a code, are there others I should know about? This has been driving me nuts for months and I figured I had better ask while I am still a newbie and at least have...

The May issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines lists auction results in the back. On page 117 a 1968 GT/CS, 289 automatic sold for $14,900. It does not list condition or options other than the C code auto. This was on 2/25-2/26 at Leake Car Auctions in OK. The same auction brought $9100 for a 1966...

All, I don't know how to do those fancy links but if you go to www.gotmustang.com and click on the new GT500 overview and scroll down part way through the article you will see the following quote by a Ford insider. " SVT will now develope non-SVT branded Ford performance vehicles including...

jc68gtcs, the 73 Vette will be listed for $16,000. I will accept $14,000 from anyone on this site. It is an origianl 30,000 mile car with these changes. L88 hood, Hooker side pipes, Holley double pumper, electric cooling fans in addition to the stock pulley fan. 5-speed as mentioned before. Blue...

Hi All, since my HCS is snowed in for the season I am planning on doing some minor work that I have been putting off since I got it. My question involves the hood hinges. The hood does not sit tight at the rear along the cowl. Will new hinges solve this? Are there any "tricks of the trade"...
