Thanks for the responses. I will have to check out the Jim Osborn Interior Assembly Manual and I know that West Coast Classic Cougar has a good inventory of parts. Other than the longer radio knobs, are there other parts I should be concerned about that are either hard to get or not...

Couple guys interested, got another call today. We will see what happens. Best case for a sale, though, might be to put the 302 back in and sell the 393 separately. The console price is too good to pass up, assuming I get all the correct pieces.

I have thought about adding a lower console at some point and have located a guy that has a few of them. My questions are: 1) Is there a document anywhere detailing out all the individual pieces/components? 2) Which parts are the most difficult to get (i.e. need to make sure they are...

I have decided to sell my 1968 High Country Special. Pictures and Marti report are below. As you all know, not many 68 HCS's come up for sale each year. I am selling it for a lot less than I have invested in it. But I figure with this market, whatever I buy next will also be at a good...

Neil, car is looking great. I just picked up a spray can to touch up my interior. It is a semi gloss black. Here is what is on the can: 67-73 Ford Black Charcoal - metallic (#L-4464) Accumatch Product Interior Paint On the top is a Scott Drake sticker/tag with part number L-4464. This is...

Mine has black buttons and says Philco.

I have a buddy who has a 64 fairlane with a 289 block running mid 11's (at over 5,000 feet above sea level). He is a certified ford mechanic, teaches auto shop at a local college, builds engines and loves to race. I will PM you his email. Feel free to contact him, he might have some good...

That sucks. I love the color. Hope it fixes up ok for you, without too much trouble. david

Just read on my corvette forum a few days ago about a guy that took his 65 Corvette out for a drive and after about 5 miles smelled an electrical burning smell. He quickly pulled over and disconnected his battery. Turns out his amp guage was faulty and the wires were melting. There were a...

Happy birthday! Lets go fishing! david

Nice looking car. This is a desirable combination (J code and 4spd). I would expect that there are interested individuals out there. As someone that has a modified HCS, I have to agree that to get top dollar, stock/originality is key with these cars. When I go to sell mine, I will be...

I am glad you could use it. Silly sitting around in my pile of old parts and stuff. david

Thanks again everyone for all the help and advice. After checking out the master cylinder, hoses, line connections and wheel cylinders, I have come to the conclusion that I have LOTS of little leaks. I am planning to replace the rear hose with the junction box, the rear lines, and one wheel...

Tom, thanks for the picture. I looked closer and it appears there are a couple little cracks in the hose right before the junction block. Looks like the hose and junction are relatively inexpensive. The rest of the lines look pretty good, but I have no idea when they were replaced (or if they...

Took a quick look under the rear. So what is the hose going into the axle do? This appears to be my problem. I had cleaned my rear diff really well about a year ago. What a mess. I still need to pull the wheels and look at the rear drums more closely. Thanks for the advice. david

Last weekend I pulled the HCS out of storage. It had been sitting since late Oct. Other than adding STA-BIL to the gas and overinflating the tires, I did not touch the car the entire time it was in storage. Started the car up and the brake pedal went from being firm before storage to going...

I am working on getting the car ready for spring and racing season. Going through some old parts and stuff, I found a 1967 289 C code engine tag. I have no idea where this came from or why I have not noticed it before. Info is: 289 C 67 1 6-H 231-A If I have read it right...

Congrats on the car. Post some pictures when you get a chance. Also, check the 5th digit in on the vin. C = 289, J = 302. Washington to Colorado, sounds like a nice trip. Where in Colorado are you? david
