Yeah, I had some really fun ideas on how to paint it. Unfortunately I won't have any $$ to work on it while I'm in school so it would essentially have to sit in limbo for 4 years after the paint job.

I've decided to go back to school and need to either sell my GT/CS project or haul it down to TX with me. I could go either way so I'm pretty firm on the price, its just a logistical nightmare to get it down there now. Here's the details: 1968 GT/CS factory 289 wide-ratio 4 spd. It was...

There's a guy on ebay that rebuilds stock corvair radios and builds in a ipod jack in the process for relatively cheap. I don't know if he does Ford radios but I'd bet he'd consider if there was enough interest. I'll see if I can find one of his listings and post it later on.

I've used craigshelper as well, and ads tend to show up a bit faster and it picks up the little cities in between the big ones. I like the pages within pages view, but it has the potential to eat up a ton of time. I feel like jaxed's result page is quite a bit more user friendly but it doesn't...

Hey, I came across this site doing some searches for parts and thought it'd be a good resource to post. The link is to a search for craigslist adds on 68 mustangs with the keyword California Special, you can do parts searches, regional searches, different years, etc...anyway, it's been a good...

I'm particularly partial to the torque thrusts with the machined rim and dark metal spokes (I can't for the life of think of what that's called right now).

Hey, I think I may be the guy with the equa-lock (although mine is not a J-code). I am by no means knowledgeable on the rear ends, so I'm not sure if it is a 9" or 8". I was going to check a month or two ago but I spaced it out and now the car is at the paint shop. Until I get over there...

I've found nitrile gloves to work really well too. I can usually find a box or two at Fred Meyer or a decent pharmacy.

What do you guys know about these kind of Lucas lamps? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=110321808760 The ebay add said they were NOS but the part numbers don't match (C8ZZ vs C8WZ?) and they look totally different. I know they're not the...

I know this isn't a California Special post but I thought it might slip by since I'm doing this to pay for the paint and body work for my GT/CS... I'm selling my 1978 landcruiser...it's a sad day, but the only way I can fund the rest of the restoration. Could you pass this along if you or...

That is a pretty sweet console though (shelby right?).

Somehow I missed this over the last couple of days but just in case it hasn't been noticed yet by anyone else: http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/car/623486966.html I've never seen the C-stripe over the GT/CS stripe before...

I'm down in Portland, I might be able to get away and look at this for someone, at least take some better photos. -Zac

I used to have a 67 C-code coupe that I "tested" a few times. When it began to top out at 100+ the predominate squirrelly-ness came from the front end and not from the rear. It had a pretty stock front and rear suspension, although it had been lowered 1" and poly bushings were used. If I was...

Good call Arlie. I'm definitely trying to keep mileage within reason. I don't want to have to rely on the car for a daily driver but after spending all this time and money I'm sure as hell going to want to drive it all the time! I picked up a tanked and magged 302 (1971) block with 2V heads...
