    1968 Purists don't look

    Can't wait to see it when you are done, sound pretty cool. Personally, with a six speed, I would be running taller gears (3:73 or 4:10's). Much better off the line and you will still be running low RPM's at highway speeds with the OD. Good luck and have fun. David

    1968 Headers

    I have the two piece super comp's in my HCS. They were the only ones I could find for a 351W conversion. Clearance is fine, but I can't get rid of the exhaust leaks where they come together. I have used high temp gasket sealer over and over again.

    1968 Barrett-Jackson

    Rob, I believe it was a one year car, built by McLaren. Little over 500 produced. Under 5 second 0-60 - in comfort. david

    1968 Barrett-Jackson

    How about a 1987 Buick GNX selling at BJ this year for, get this, $104,500. Sure, it was a 1200 mile time capsule, but come on. Guess cars of the 80's and up are starting to appreciate. Late 70's and up Trans Ams seem to be getting decent money. Go figure. Sven, good luck with your car. david

    1968 Mecum Auction Results

    There is a guy out here in Colorado (owns a mustang parts store) that built a CS tribute fastback and convertible. Saw them at a car show a couple years ago, should have taken pictures. I thought they looked pretty good. david

    1968 Looking for Holly carb or will hit Jegs\ Summit

    I down graded from a 750 to a 700 double pumper on my 393 stroker. Have not raced yet this year, so not sure what the results will be. Obviously I am expecting it be be faster. 600 seems awfully small for a 390, hope it works out for you Paul. I think I have posted this before, but when I...

    ADMIN New Feature: Search members by state

    I figured it out. In everyone's user control panel - additional info section, there is a field that asks for city and state and another field that asks for state. Nice feature, we all just need to double check how we filled out those sections. david

    1968 Is it a sin?

    I have owned a 1968 and 1969 Camaro. Both were Hugger Orange with black Z/28strips. Great color combination. Make sure you add the "houndstooth" seat covers and then you will have the ultimate ford insult!

    1968 Thinking about adding to the stable...

    Tell us about the Ferrari. The latest edition of Automobile has a great article on the Testarossa. Kind of scary when they recommend: 1) 30K service - pull the engine, replace seals, bearings and other wear parts = $8,000 2) 15K service - $4,000 minor service 3) Annual service - change...

    2010 Mustang / 1969 Shelby

    It is a really, really cool concept. I'd like to see the 67/68 version, never liked the 69/70Shelby. The nose is too long. What was the relationship between Shelby and Ford in 1969? Was he providing any feedback on the cars (or just his name)? Didn't they stop making the modifications for...

    1968 Thinking about adding to the stable...

    I do think it is a good time to buy a Shelby. Prices have come down, but top notch examples are still getting a ton of money. Check out the for sale section of the SAAC forum. Who knows the real selling prices, but cars seem to be selling quickly. Maybe a little bit morbid, butI believe that...
