Been a lot of electric threads lately, thought I would start another. I am in need of some feedback. A couple years ago, I pulled my 302 out and put in a stroked 351W. The engine takes up a bit more volume in the engine bay than the 302 and has been built for performance. I have always had...

I agree, $7K, but who really knows in this market. I have also found, through first hand experience, you will spend a lot more than you think you will on refurbishment costs. I am becoming a believer in buying cars that someone else has sunk a bunch of money into. Now is a great time to buy...

I have a friend that knows him pretty well. Says he is a good guy. He sold his company and it subsequently went bankrupt. They ended up selling off the assets. New owner has no legal liability to support existing warranties, and they won't. My understanding is that Steve said since my name...

Congratulations!

I wish I was able to spend money as fast as you (no wife at home I am guessing). Good luck on your next pass, hope it happens. My drag strip is a 40 mile drive. I spend the entire trip with my eyes glued to the temp gauge. I know exactly how you feel. I just installed an electric fan from a...

Not sure how these things work - wondering who owns the rights to Paul's recent article. If it is Paul, it would be a nice gesture by him, given the financial support and data he has collected from the members of this site, to post it on this site. I must say, though, that I have lost interest...

Not ideal, but one way is to pull the starter and check the casting numbers: C8OE-6015-A

Neil, Did you change out your torque converter? I still think the flex plate is a good possibility.

Hopefully you would have broken down doing your burnout and saved the track. I have always thought of drag racing as pretty safe (at least compared to autocross and track racing). But, I run a lot slower than you. I am not an Auburn fan. Mine broke down in less than a year of racing. Really...

Don't forget your roof rails. I have heard they can be very difficult, especially if you car has been repainted without them. Thickness of the paint makes it difficult to install.

You don't need to join to access the SAAC forum and postings. I have not seen very much negativity toward the GT/CS, which is great, but there does not seem to be very much activity, other than Paul's posts.

What a collection! Unfortunately none from my car's original dealer. Wonder if Bob is cleaning out his garage?

That is an interesting list of options. Good luck, hope you get it. david

$10,000 in 1982 is approx $22,000 in 2009. The GT500KR has done well over time! http://www.dollartimes.com/calculators/inflation.htm The owner of Colorado Mustangs in Denver built a GT/CS convertible clone and I believe a fastback clone. david

Star Trek Prop collecting must be going awfully well! Very nice stable of cars. I think we are all envious! Don't go with too much horsepower, you never know what could happen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIbpiihHQ-g david

Bob, I just had a bunch of 68 HCS decals made up for my personal use. Played around with lots of different color combinations. Today's computers and technology are pretty impressive. I have the pair I bought from you when I first got my HCS. Good luck matching the colors. The vendor I used...

I personally have a real problem with the fact that probably 99% of the prefunding (and ultmate purchasers) for this book has come from members of this site and Paul is providing updates to the SAAC forum, but not here. I always get a kick out of seeing this thread when I come to the site. 2005...

Awfully close to the Mach 1.

Great pictures, sounds like you all had a fun time. My father has his house for sale and wants to move back to the Roseville area. Who knows, maybe I will have an opportunity to visit next year. david

Thanks Casey, from a HCS owner. I did not know the HCS's were shipped without the GT/CS decals and had the HCS decal installed at the dealer. This makes sense, though, as I remember Bob Teets telling me that when he went to have a batch of HCS decals made a while back, he found the original...
