After almost 10 years with Brandy our GTCS I have finally decided to let her go. She has been a loyal friend through a move from Hawaii to Texas, two house moves in Texas, and a birth of a child! I really would love to let her go to one of the members here who I have always looked to for advice...

Finally finished up my complete engine re-build. Also had the transmission rebuilt as well as adding new exhaust. Re-built 289 with standard parts nothing fancy New Holley 350CFM carb with electronic choke Re-built C4 transmission Painted and detailed engine compartment New radiator New master...

Getting the final touches done on my CS, and noticed I couldn't find my shift linkage rod. I ordered one, climbed underneath and realized it was too short. So I ordered another one...different part number, and that too was too short! So now I think I'm the problem. The shifting part on the...

I went ahead and bought a new Holley 2 barrel 350CFM carb (doesn't help the wallet that I have a gigantic Summit Racing store nearby) for my newly rebuilt 289. I'm hoping this will bring a bit more performance to the car while still keeping the stock appearance and stock 2 barrel manifold. Any...

After many months I finally tore into the engine. Upon removing the intake manifold I noticed a pool of oil along the right side bank of openings and inside one of the openings (not sure of the technical term). All else looked really good under the manifold. Any ideas on the cause of the oil...

Just wondering if anyone noticed that there were 5 California Specials up at auction in Kissimmee this week. Of the 5, only 1 sold. The other 4 did not meet reserve. Follow the link if you're interested in checking out the final bids etc. I like to keep track of the Mecum/BJ auctions to see...

I started a minor rust remediation project under my battery tray and inside my passenger side wheel well. I discovered that rust had eaten through the sheet metal under the battery tray (see pic). I cut away the rusted metal and I'm planning on welding in a panel, however, I'm curious if anyone...

I will be moving with my GT/CS to Dallas from Honolulu (don't ask) in August. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on protecting my pride and joy during the boat ride and subsequent overland shipping. The ship is enclosed and specially made for automobile transportation, but the shippers have...

Just spent my first weekend with 8R01C143559, presidential blue, 90% restored by previous owner GT/CS. This is my first Mustang and I'm looking forward to fixing the little things to make it perfect, and learning about this iconic vehicle. I'm sure I'll need guidance from the veteran members on...
