I have sold my GTCS and am selling the two books by Paul Newitt on eBay. Item #7966392771. I have no other parts. Thanks Joe

Jon Received my calenders today. Very pleased to see them so quickly. Usually takes 3 weeks to a month to get mail from the US to Canada. Beautiful job! Many compliments already! Merry Xmas & Happy New Year to everyone on this site. Joe

Regarding the procedure to instal and adjust torsion bars on trunklid hinges. The Ford people use a simple tool. A picture is in your shop manual. Section 17 page 91. Use the torsion bar as a guide to drill the hole and cut the slot. I made mine out of a piece of 3/16 flat bar. Joe

Just my 2 cents but did you put power steering fluid in the reservoir. The Ford pumps call for ATF (auto trans fluid). I found this out many years ago. The relief valve in the pump tends to stick with the PS fluid. It will work if you rev up the engine. Joe

Don That April car would be mine. Unfortunately not a 390 big block just a 302 4V. But with the stock 3:25 gears I can make it move quite well. Quite a few GTCS cars up here in the frozen north (Southern Alberta). Joe

Jon Any update on the calendar? I'm getting lots of requests for calendars up here in the frozen north (High River Alberta). Will you order a large supply? Joe

Jon Is the survey allowing members to vote more than once? I see this as being a problem. Joe

Jon I sent you some pics for the calender. If you did not receive them can you let me know and I'll resend. Thanks Joe

Jon I am planning on taking pictures as soon as we get some decent weather. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday. A friend has a very nice GTCS clone. Can't tell it from a real one. Everthing correct including 8R01. Would you you consider his car for the calander? Joe

The only Mustang script on the Cal Special is on the trunk. It is on the right hand side. I can give you approximate dinensions if your trunk lid isn't drilled.

The pedestals are quite easy to make. Instructions and dimensions are in 1988 Recognition guide book.

Can anyone out there tell me why my taillites don't go on when the fog lites are turned on. Any other 68 Mustangs I've had with the GT equipment group the fog lites worked this way. Anyone who has a CS with the GT equipment group please let me know how your fogs work. I may have screwed up when...

I believe it depends on when your car was built. Mine was built May 15/68 and came with a blue pump. I was told Ford bought P/S pumps in bunches from a supplier and sometimes they were blue and other times black. Joe

The carb you need is an Autolite 4300 model.

I purchased a set of reproduction tail lite bezels and I'm a little confused as to the correct way they should be. Should the black paint on the outer part be removed or left on? My original ones had the paint removed but I have seen many GTCS cars in the Gallery with the paint left on.

I have recently purchased a GTCS that is not in the registry and I would like to see the registry updated. This is my 6th GTCS and only one of these cars is in the latest book. Fortunately I have both of Paul's books but making the pages available on this site is a good idea.

deestix Thanks for the info. Seems just when we think we have gospel info on Mustangs documentation proves us wrong. 66joej

Actually the 390 2V engine would not qualify a car to be a GT in 1968. The car had to have a 4V engine as indicated in the Mustang Recognition Guide. The best way to detemine if a GTCS car is a true GT is with a Ford 999 History sheet or a Kevin Marti report.

Mine were also natural. My car had never been painted or restored.

I emailed the seller about the two items mentioned (hood locks and incorrect lenses on the lites) the day the car was put on eBay and no response as of today. I would definetly get a Marti report before bidding.
