    1968 Rebuilt Title

    The normal "hit" for salvage title is between 20 and 40% of the accepted normal price. you may or may not be able to use this as a bargaining chip since it is a possibility that a salvage title can be" washed" or "cleaned up" as it is termed and turned into a normal title. I have no idea how...

    1968 rear seat speakers

    Sent our stock radio to Gary Tayman in Florida for new "guts". It works flawlessly and is also FM along with a jack for MP3 or CD player. So now the need for a package tray speaker (or speakers) has arisen. Has anyone documented two package tray speakers as a ford accessory on our 68...

    1968 Lucas light bulbs

    Federal law at the time these cars were manufactured dictated that if equipped with fog lights that when the fog lights were activated that tail lights and any marker lights would also be on. This was true back in 1965 when Ford first produced the GT mustangs - when the fog lights were on the...

    1968 Time for a new stereo?

    Maybe this will help you a bit. During the past Winter I sent my original AM radio to Gary Tayman in Florida for conversion to AM, FM, and a jack (hidden) to receive MP3, or a portable CD, or anything with that sized cable, and also a USB cable> Have used the car a few hours and all works...

    1968 Rob Campbells letter in MM

    Just looked through the newest Mustang Monthly and in "beyond basics" was a very well written note from our own Rob Campbell pertaining to the brakes on 68 GT cars. Very interesting reading! Thanks Rob for setting the record straight.

    1968 Trunk sealing Tape

    Neil, I have some of the tape that you can have just by sending a self addressed, stamped envelope to me. The envelope needs to be large enough to hold a strip of foam ten inches long and 3/16" thick. My address is as follows: John Murphy, 309 13th Street, Pawnee Illinois 62558 This applies...

    1968 Replace radio and speaker, with air conditioning

    Going to have my (non working) AM radio converted to AM/FM/Bluetooth this winter and add a dual voice coil speaker in the dash, replacing the original Ford speaker. Any tips on replacing the speaker? Does the dash pad have to come back out or with the radio and glove box removed will there be...

    1968 Brighter brake light bulbs??

    This advice comes from experience. I fooled around with trying to make my tail lights brighter for a year or more. Will not even list the "ideas" used - (none worked with a Sh**). I did, however manage to fry an expensive turn signal switch for a swing away wheel! Finally purchased a Mustang...

    1968 Ground strap and battery negative wire routing

    Richard, I put two of these "J" type stand offs on my 68 CS, although I think only one was used when the boys at SJ put the car together. (one on each bolt that holds the mount to the block) The 65 - 66 Mustangs normally had two and it did a better job of keeping the starter cable out of harms...
