    WTB: 1968 GT/CS in Calif.

    The economy is bad, prices will and are going to come down. I have a C2 Corvette and we have seen prices drop, significantly in some cases. Keep looking, you will find the right car for you. There are good deals to be made. In my opinion, if you have the money, this is a good time to buy...

    Radiator installation help needed

    If anyone is interested, here is what I have found out: 24" radiator will fit, no mods required, just new brackets. Saddle mount brackets are different between 68 and 70. Difference is not due to the radiator, but the location of the bar that the hood latches onto on the 68. The 68...

    Radiator installation help needed

    I don't really have an overheating problem, but it is the one thing I worry about when driving my car for an extended amount of time. I am contemplating upgrading to a 24 1/4" 3 or 4 row small block ac/big block radiator. Currently, I have a 20 1/4" 1970 stock Mustang radiator wtih a 3,000cfm...

    1968 HCS-Brittany Blue 302 4V For Sale

    Nice car. Let us know how it goes. Us HCS guys are always interested when one comes up for sale. Our cars were about 1500 cars apart. My Marti reports says mine was build on June 21, your letter says yours was "produced" on the same day. They must have been working hard that day! Good luck...

    Which look better with styled wheels: White sidewall or Raised white letter tires?

    Black side. Never really liked raised white letters or white walls.

    How do you fill your tank without spills?--'68

    Similar problems, similar solutions. My bigger issue is with the sending units and getting the measurements correct. There have been helpful threads on this topic as well. david

    Big Trouble!...

    Good luck Tim! If you hair is not grey now, it soon will be (in my case, it just fell out). Great to see our kids into these cars! My 16 year old tore down my 302 when I replaced it with the current engine and cleaned it all up. Our local speedway does a high school drag day on Memorial...

    Do you like the 1968 model year Mustang even if its not a GT/CS?

    69-70 SportsRoof for me. I had always been a First Gen Camaro guy, but really prefer the lines of the 67/68 coupes.

    Should I charge $$ to join the GT/CS Registry?

    I'd be much more inclined to pay a fee to support this website than for the registry. I participate on a C2 Corvette site, a Cadillac CTS site, and a Mazdaspeed site. They all have fee based forums (along with free usage). Jon, you have done an incredible job providing this forum for us...

    Drag racing your 07-08 GT/CS?

    I took my '68 HCS out racing last night. A friend of one of our club members brought out his 07 GT for the 1st time. Well his car was stock except for a whipple supercharger (pretty significant addition). Amazingly he ran 13.3 on his first run, 13.0 on his second, and 12.8 on his...

    This has me pretty interested as I have about 600 miles on my rebuild and have been using Rotella T. I emailed Shell and asked about ZDDP and their Rotella Diesel oil. Here is their reply: David, Rotella T with Triple Protection 15W-40 CJ-4 has approximately 1200 ppm zinc anti-wear. This is...

    ZDDP is it in your oil ?

    Quick search on ZDDP found this: http://www.ttalk.info/Zddp.htm Sounds like you might have been given good advice! My engine tuner recommends Rotella T (Shell). Searching again on the internet, found out it is a diesel oil and contains ZDDP. Now I know why he changed my oil when he worked...

    Which to choose: 1968 GT/CS or HCS?

    That is a good determining item. No only which do you like better, which looks better with the color of the car. While HCS are rarer, the GT/CS seems to be valued higher (per NADA). Personally, I like the uniqueness of the HCS and telling people they only made 251 of them. david
