    1968 Thinking of buying my first Ford 1968 GT/CS

    The other things to seriously consider are: 1. How much time do you have to work on the car? You can save quite a bit by doing work yourself, but you have to have the time to do it. I recently bought a "done" GT/CS, trading my 2 project cars plus some cash for it, because I never found...

    1968 Lucas Fog Light Pedestals

    Does anyone have the dimensions of the Lucas fog light pedestals that they can share (length, outside diameter, inside diameter and material type)? Also, does anyone have a diagram showing how the pedestal parts actually mount the lights on the car? I want to make sure I know exactly how the...

    My recently purchased GT/CS has the wrong fog lights currently installed but the seller gave me the correct Lucas fog lights.

    1968 Value of a 68 CS/GT

    Another question: Several people have recommended getting a Marti report. Do I need to get the standard version or the deluxe? Also, what will the Marti report show me/prove that VIN and code numbers don't?

    1968 Value of a 68 CS/GT

    Couple of questions: 1. Several people have noted that the grill is gone. I have quite a few Mustang books that show color pictures of GT/CS Mustangs and looking at the picture I have posted and the pictures in the books, I can't tell what is missing. Can someone fill me in? 2. Again, by...
