Jason, Where the hell have you been. I needed your advice the other day. Scott

Don, I just went out in the garage and counted my original trunk mats. I have eleven original mats, all from 1968 cars. Some are speckled and some are gray. None are plaid. I read in Pauls book that 95% of the GT/CSs had plaid mats. What are the chances that I keep finding everything but...

Yep. Funny you should mention mats. I was down in Vista California the other day and looked at a 1968 Mustang coupe for sale (built in San Jose). I didn't buy the car, but the girl sold me the original speckeled mat out of the trunk. And today I bought an original paint GT/CS with an...

Don, Looks like I answered the same question you did...sorry. Didn't see your post. And you are right about the resonator pipes. The ones on the car in question are reproductions. The original ones would be "double-hump" resonators attached to 2-inch pipes. Cobra Jet cars got 2.25-inch...

Most (more on the "most" part in a second) of the Ford service replacement bezels have black painted trim. The original bezels (installed on the car when built by Ford) do not have the black painted trim. Many people put the service bezels on and don't know that they are not supposed to be...

Great, Thanks.

Rich, How can I get a copy of the MCA rules? Scott

Do you know if the "trunk mat underlay" is the asphalt/paper material that sits on top of the gas tank? And what does the "cardboard" refer to...is that the trunk protectors. And while we're on the subject of MCA rules, Jason and I had a converstaion today about battery heat shields and I told...

Don, I've heard they used a plaid pattern mat in 1968. It's unclear to me just what the trunk mat story is. But, every original, unrestored 1968 Mustang I've ever had (I've probably had 10-of them) has had a speckeled mat with one exception. A friend of mine has a 1968 Mustang with a very...

Darn good question. I just know that all my original ones are stamped "FP" and was wondering if others were too. How about "Ford Product" or "Fast Pony"? Scott

I'm looking for an original speckled trunk mat for a 1968 Mustang coupe (in very, very nice to excellent condition). If you have one and are willing to sell it I will pay $500. See below for speckle pattern that I'm looking for. Thanks Scott

No, it's going to Jim Ellsworth in North Canton.

Does anyone have original carboard trunk protectors in their GT/CS? If so, is there a "FP" stamped in the corner? All my original ones have the "FP" and was just wondering if others did? Scott

Hi Don, I'm from Ohio originally. Granville. But now live in California. I'd be carful about using the recognition guide as a definitive source. There are errors in it. An example is the reference to the rubberized trunk mat. My sources for the discontinuation of the space saver spare are...

The space saver spare option was discontinued in mid-December 1967 for 1968 Mustangs.

Several years ago Mustang Monthly did an article on 1968 trunk area detailing. I'm sure I still have it. I'll look it up tomorrow. As far as I know the tire cover, jack bag, and matching duffle are all aftermarket. I have a super nice original trunk with original spare in a car I have. I'll...

I have been looking a long time....

Sara, The Highland Green car is my favorite too. I had another GT500KR fastback that color and fell in love with Highland Green. I have been looking for a GT/CS that color for a long time and haven't found one yet. There is a guy in the town I live in that has a GT/CS 390 4-speed in OUR...

Here's my Yellow GT500KR 4-speed with 7,156-original miles on it.

Here's my Highland Green GT500KR 4-speed. Original paint.
