I've owned mine for 11 years now and I've enjoyed the heck out of it. Upgrading from the 1 bbl Carter to a 2 bbl Weber carb has made a world of difference in drivability. Otherwise, it's all stock. The best thing was not having to freak out about gas prices last summer. I still get well over 20 MPG.

According to Paul Newitt's 1989 book, there were approx. 130 T codes. Of those 80 were three speed manuals and 50 were automatics.

On wheels with "dog dish" hub caps, were the wheels painted body color or just plain black?

I had a friend who built a 68 Firebird to concours condition. He ended up with a 1:1 scale model of a Firebird becasue he couldn't (or wouldn't) drive it anymore. That's not a car (at least that's my opinion, I could be wrong).

I agree that two cars is too much for the decal. I would focus on the 68 CS.

I wonder how these LED bulbs would look in a GT/CS taillight. These look like they are very directional and might look very spotty. The standard 1157 bulbs get a lot of light dispersal off of the rear reflectors.

Log on to meijer.com to check store locations. Meijer's is a Michigan based chain. I know they have stores in Indiana and Ohio. I'm not sure about MN.

I picked one up at Meijer's today for $30. Thanks for the heads up that they were carrying them

My first car was a '68 Mustang coupe. It was Pebble Beige with a black vinyl top. At least it had a 302 in it. I replaced it with a '71 Mustang coupe before I even had my driver's license.

I do remember seeing a Pebble Beige GT/CS in San Jose, CA back in 1980. The reason I remeber it is that it was the first GT/CS I ever saw and my first car was a Pebble Beige '68 coupe. I know it's not much of a lead, but I can testify that at least one was built with that hideous color.

I'm looking to increase the value on my insurance policy for my GT/CS. I've had it at $7500 since I bought it in '97 (which may have been overvalued then). Since then, I've redone the engine, chasis, and interior. Also the GT/CS seems to have appreciated over that time. I've seen a lot of GT/CS...

I may be biased, but I'd say keep it a 6. Dropping a V8 in it also means upgrading the rest of the drivetrain. And then it's not original. You didn't say how much they're asking for it. That will make a big difference. It won't matter that much that the sixes are less valuable than the eights...
