    . Fab Fords Forever 2012

    ...Interesting. My oldest is: C143583, built & released 2/20 with the later reflectors. I'm now curious on what day Lisa's was actually built... I'm also amazed upon review of my Marti reports of how long some of these sat around before selling! This one was 10/10/68. The Highland Green GT...

    1968 Fuel Filters & A Disaster Averted

    ..Very nice post, Nate and so true! Cars that sit for a few months can develop leaks at the clamps, connecting tube o-rings and have sticky floats from dry bowls as well. I got to where I remove the air cleaner, inspect everything, start the engine, then run around and look at everything...

    1968 Nice day to play. At last!!

    ...Took a drive to "PonyGal's" today for more Mustang fun and to pre-flight the "Foster/ Stevenson Special" for her busy 2012 show season in the Sacramento Valley.

    "Of particular interest is the fact that while relatively few (reputedly 47) American-built Shelby Mustang GT-350 coupes were produced,"...... ....."When the first Shelby de Mexico was debuted in 1967, it bore a strange resemblance to another Shelby creation known as "Little Red." In truth...

    1968 What would you do?? (assemble now or restore?)

    ...That's where it's at for me! And if you have more than one, invite your friends to drive, enjoy and experience them as well. Nothin' pisses me off more than to replace sets of tires with cracked sidewalls and plenty of tread left on them! And damned if I'm going to grow old (like some I...
