    Potential GT/CS Purchase

    Sounds like about an $8000 car to me. Needs a bunch of work to get it correct. From your description it's going to need a new paint job, hood and some body work. $3000 to $5000 at least for that alone. But I could be out of touch for a project of this type. Just my $.02

    Shifter Boot - 4 Speed

    The only way I know is to remove the pin that holds the reverse ring onto the shifter. But, when you that, it's a pain to get the wire that pin holds inside the shifter hooked back up. If you go to that trouble, you might as well replace the rubber shifter bushings that rot with age, it will...

    My new 68 GT/CS

    Hey Bish, hows the Shelby doing? It's setting on jack stands being neglected, :( I'm trying to find time to clean the undercarrage. As the wether gets warmer, I'm sure I'll get motivated. Is the snow melted up there yet?

    Smog equipment on the 68's

    "If" you removed your smog setup, you would get improved mpg and more horsepower. The reason is the car would NOT have to work as hard because of the smog pump. I suppose you could just take off the belt and put it back on when it came time to show. As posted by another member, I do recall...

    Green Hornet Photos

    Those pictures are on Martin Eulers web page. He is the person who restored the Green Hornet. So I'd bet they are. I believe Craig Jackson of Barret-Jackson owns the car now.

    My new 68 GT/CS

    The real question for him is which Corvette! ;D Mark, Yes, another one to the Motor city area. Looks like a real winner! Also to answer another question, I think all California cars were to have smog in 68.

    2006 GT/CS and New Shelby

    Great advice- Don That information is dead on oh ya, the upper side scoops on a 68 Shelby don't cause any "blind spots"

    My new 68 GT/CS

    The term "top loader" is refering to your 4 speed trans. You have the upgraded small block motor offered in 68. Sounds like a great car, I can't wait to see it this summer.

    Price Estimate?

    I'd guess about 100.00. Tell me where to send the check ;) Nice looking car Kidding aside, I agree with Mosesatm. It's to hard to come up with a price for your car. Keep your eye on the site he recommended as well as ebay. Do your homework by comparing the asking prices of those cars along with...

    Car Show Help

    I have three words of advice for you. CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN! I've placed over some really nice cars at large Mustang and All-Ford shows here in the Detroit area mainly because my car was cleaner than others in my class.
