    '68 Cardinal Special

    The Camaro did not have to do special editions to drive up sales, they sold on their own. Sorry, could not resist. I have owned 3 first gen Camaros. Loved my 1969 Z/28. But I do miss my HCS. Looks like Mustang has outproduced Camaro over the years, though. Lifted from the internet: Since...

    AutoTempest Search Engine

    Looks like an interesting search engine. Here is the one I have been using for a while. Seems to be running slow some days and normal others. http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi?cat=cp&itm=mustang&loc=&fil=california+special&ys=1968&ye=1968&ps=&pe=&pgs=100&submit=++++go++++

    1968 High 14s and Low 15s

    I got a kick out of the fuel consumption numbers (MPG). Quarter mile times seem reasonable.

    Anyone near Springfield, Mass??

    Anyone live close to Springfield, Mass? I sold my HCS last month and have an eye on another car. It is not a GT/CS, HCS, or even a Mustang. It is a relatively rare classic though. Wondering if someone is close by and can check out the car for me. I'd really appreciate it, and be happy to...

    1968 Reserved spot with my body guy

    Scott, Good luck with the build, exciting times. I totally agree with the do what you like philosophy, but never was a fan of the argent tail light panel. It is interesting to me that it took 3 months for your car to sell. Sorry to go off in a tangent, and I am sure this has been discussed...

    1968 European HCS

    Sold my HCS, it is now in Canada. Wondering how many HCS are there. I have been talking with Bob Teets about modernizing the HCS registry and building a data base that will allow this type of questions to be answered with minimal works. I am going to try and get it done over the next few...

    Thanks for the reply guys. What about keeping the oil in the engine...any issues? Sold the car, it is heading to Canada this weekend. Might be the only HCS in Canada, not sure. David

    1968 Taking apart my car, need some Help please!

    Perfect time for a Mustang II conversion. That will give you lots of room for a nice all aluminum 427!

    1968 Taking apart my car, need some Help please!

    It was pretty inexpensive. I think I paid a couple hundred bucks at most. I also replaced my under dash and engine compartment wiring harnesses. Don't remember it being difficult. Also, don't remember which direction I went.

    1968 Taking apart my car, need some Help please!

    Have it media blasted if you can before painting, but if you have rust, it will require repair.

    Boise State

    I have always liked Boise State, but they need to play more than 1 good team a year. I heard a story on ESPN yesterday that they had conversations with Nebraska about setting up a game, but demanded to be paid $1M to play. Can't say I am a Dan Hawkins fan these days. Will be interesting to...

    1968 Grass Valley car show...

    Looks like fun. 900-1000 cars. That is huge. My club, the Denver Mustang club, has its annual show next week and we typically get 500-600 cars. It is incredibly well run, but still pretty hectic. I could not imagine 900-1000. Good luck to TJ. david

    2007+ 2010 Sturgis Mustang Rally

    Way to go!. About 10 members from the Mustang club I belong to attended. Have not heard from them yet, but I am sure they had a great time. Post pictures if you took any. Love to see them.

    Post your car show or race wins here!

    Really haven't showed a car for a couple of years. I find them too long, too hot, too many people touching my car, etc. I usually go without showing a car and get the opportunity to walk around, talk with folks and leave when I want. Today, though, I went to the Louisville (Co) 15th annual...

    If you have questions or are tracking down parts, Amos Minter is THE restoration guy for 55-57 Tbirds. His shops is awesome and he seemed like a very nice man. http://www.amosminter.com/ At one point, several years back, I was contemplating buying one and went to Dallas to meet him. Ended up...
