    1968 2 steps forward and 1 step back for my S Code

    Talk to Scott at West Coast Classic Cougars for your brake booster assembly. They know the inside and out of all the variables of the 60's and will set you up for what works. Trust me over the counter parts at the local parts store will leave you sad!! Rob

    1968 Car randomly dies

    Scott, I am a bit confused. All 289's used the 15426378 firing order stamped on the intake. So did 302's until the advent of the 302 roller cam shaft motor in the mid 80's. Then the 302 switched to the 351 Windsor firing order. This is to the best of my knowledge. One does need to be...

    1968 Carpet Color

    The prior post, according to my documentation, is the only color in 1968. This was the only green interior color in 1968. I have found variations on colors from different vendors on carpet and vinyl. The car you may have seen may have had a custom choice and a dark dark green carpet. In 1969...

    For Sale Fantomworks GTCS Build For Sale

    I could build that car for a fraction of that price, nut and bolt identical. And I could go old school power for a fraction of the fraction price. It would do everything this car would do! Heck my 67 Fastback will run and hide from this one on the strip. Doubt this car would ever see an...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    That wire is the keyed power source to the back up lights. You need to make sure they got the wire that is hot and not the return wire from the neutral lockout/backup switch on the tranny, when the key is in the run position. Simple check to see if the wire is hot when you turn the ignition...

    1968 Opinions on '68 Convert Funky VIN?

    Arlie is spot on. The owner can see them from the bottom with front tires off. It will be upside down and difficult to read. He will need to take a wire brush to clean the area up Or better he can pull the fender back and see them. From the data available today it should have a stamp on...

    1968 Opinions on '68 Convert Funky VIN?

    The door tag can be somewhat verified by looking at the car. Color under the sill plate that matches the color code. The axel and trans code matching. The real way is to get the hidden vins and look for panel replacement of the aprons they are stamped on. and then finally looking at as many...

    1968 Opinions on '68 Convert Funky VIN?

    Get the apron VIN numbers. If they do not match, then a problem. If they do then we will go to sheet metal date codes. Something smells a bit fishy here. Buyer beware! At the same time weird stuff did happen. So the jury is still out. By the way, as Neil said, I also have been to this...
