    1968 STOLEN SPECIAL... recovered within 1 hour

    You mentioned that the oil pan was hit. I would make sure you pull it and check the oil pump/pick up. Last thing you want is the car being rev'd high and run hard with no oil circulating. Good luck with the repairs.

    Found on eBay today...

    What do you know...very cool Tim! I think it is time to bring back the personalized T-shirts. Mine does not fit any more. Must have shrunk in the wash :) david

    Ouch. Randy had no way of knowing the situation AND Johnny Quest was my favorite cartoon growing up. david

    Hockey Night in Canada

    Incredible game. Canada has a strong team, thought they had the USA's number again. That last 5 minutes of the 3rd period was amazing. Is that twice coming back from 2 goal deficits? I still think Canada will wipe up the US at the Olympics. As a huge Shark's fan, I am rooting for the...

    . 68 GT/CS on the block at Mecum January 2010

    I love watching the auctions on cable. I have been really surprised at some of the sale prices. Boy has the market been soft, even for top collectibles. Any one watch Chasing Classic Cars? Been a while since one of Wayne's cars have sold at his expected price at auction, or sold at all...

    Hockey Night in Canada

    Should be fun. I have watched a couple games over the christmas/new year break. Lets be clear though, the US lost in a shootout. I think they will get Canada this time round :). The Olympics, that will be another story. Canada has a very strong team. My 8 year old has been playing for 5...

    1968 Question for you 390 owners

    Having them on the engine before installation even makes it a ton easier with a small block. Looks like you have the spark plugs in, very good idea. Hopefully you won't have to ever change them again! Good luck and keep bringing the pictures. david

    . Tested the Limits of Ford's 302 Block, lets just say its no Chevy 350

    Holley recommended replacing the entire carb, not just the fuel bowls. Had something to do with the % of lead content. Wow, that block is destroyed! What are your plans for a new engine? Stay away from nitrous, go with a supercharger!

    . Tested the Limits of Ford's 302 Block, lets just say its no Chevy 350

    That kind of sucks. The guy who works on my car blew his motor on the last race of the year. He was running a stroked 302 in a 64 Fairlane. His fastest time was around 11.9 (at altitude - about 10.9 at sea level) on a naturally aspirated engine. He teaches auto shop at a local college and...

    2007+ 2008 High Country Special

    Welcome to the site. Interesting find, can't wait to see pictures. Really sounds like a one off dealer program, though. I know that both Bob and myself have had HCS decals made up. I had some done in different colors just for the fun of it (black and silver on my car right now). It would...

    2007+ New Addition to the Stable - A Shelby

    Congratulations. A good friend of mine has had one for a while. He brings it to the drag strip and races with us every month. Really nice looking cars. Now you need a 66 to make a pair. There is a 07 Convertible on our local craigslist. If I had room for another, I would buy it. Seems...

    1968 Hood Lights

    I am a member of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS) and this is similar to what they do. They still call it a judging guide but it is very detailed, updated regularily and sold on the NCRS website. I really have not paid attention to MCA until lately. I have had my Corvette judged...

    1968 Hood Lights

    Made me look. Here is one after 40 years of gunk. Are the 4 plastic wire holders still made/available? I seem to only have one. david

    1968 Pointless Distributors

    Another thing to consider, and I am going out on a limb here so correct me if I am wrong, is that a stock tach will not work with electronic/aftermarket ignition system. david

    What do you drive in the winter?

    Cars are a sleep for the winter:sad: First year I used wheel dollies to push them together into the corner of the garage. Amazing how much room I now have for the other cars. I drive a 2008 Cadillac CTS 3.6L direct inject AWD and, when I can get it away from the wife, a 2008.5 Mazda...

    1968 Pointless Distributors

    I initially went with a Ford Duraspark II system when I put a new motor in my car. Easy upgrade from stock. Felt I needed better performance and last year found a deal at Summit. I bought a Mallory Comp S/S series distributor (mechanical advance), Coil, 8MM Wires, ignition control box w/rev...
