    1968 Starting Issue

    I'm wondering as it looks like you've checked out the ignition switch and such, could it be a bad wire from the switch to the coil or whatever? I had a wire which looked whole but it had a broken wire but the coating was still solid. Somehow it got crimped and separated the wire but not the...

    1968 Lucas fog light problem

    Marty, The fog/marker light mismatch was the problem. I did the driver's side and it solve that side's problem. Now to do the other, but I'll need to back it out of the garage and it's starting to drizzle here so I shall wait until later. Bill Steve, sent you a PM. Bill

    1968 Lucas fog light problem

    Marty, That may be the problem. I just went out and turned on the lights, head, parking & fog, separately and the marker lights didn't come on. I'll mention that to them when I take it to them. Thanks, Bill

    1968 Lucas fog light problem

    Hi all, I've got a problem with the Lucas fog lights on my special and hope to get some help or direction where to start. The fog lights come on when I turn on either the parking or headlights. They didn't before and the only thing I had done on it was the engine compartment repainted...

    1968 Console Installation - Front Pad

    A few years after I had installed my lower console I noticed the gap was quite wide and was able to solve most of the problem by removing most of the old foam rubber at the top and using a aerosol can of foam insulation gap filler, filled in the area where the old foam rubber was. It seems to...

    50th Anniversary Party

    For those of you who are leaving from the California areas, which route and travel times will you be taking. Maybe the group of us from the West Coast could meet somewhere on I-80 and cruise in as a group. Will sort of depend on travel times, but it would be cool. Still plenty of time to...

    50th Anniversary Party

    Marty, Tanner was my companion two dogs ago, he passed away May 2012 due to congenital heart disease; then I acquired Finley who had a few medical problems from a Shih Tzu rescue and had him for about 2 1/2 years until he passed due to a seizure. I've had Roscoe now for almost three years also...

    50th Anniversary Party

    Yep, I'll be having my 4 legged friend with me. I'm staying with Pete & Nancy at a different lodging then the Host hotel. They take pets where I'm staying. I think this is a different traveling companion than I had at the show in Concord. His name is Roscoe. He's not as enthused about...

    1968 What is one of the earliest California Special VIN numbers

    Several years ago, 20 plus, I had to have my trunk lid replaced and one was ordered from Tony Branda and it had the center brace in it. With the third brace in it, it doesn't seem to bow as much over the years. The original had a bow as much as 2 inches plus in the center. The one I have you can...

    For Sale 1968 GT/CS on E bay

    I was at a Mustang show in Langley, BC, this past weekend and it was parked next to me at the show. It looked quite nice except the mounts for the Lucas lights were not correct. I spoke for a while with the owner and he had recently picked it up for about what he is trying to sell it for...

    1968 Help Selling this 68

    Connie, you mentioned your Special had been painted by the Mustang Ranch. It must have been several years ago since they no longer do painting, but he still does restorations. He is located near Eatonville if you're thinking on keeping it. He did a restoration on mine in the mid 80s and I've...

    1968 Vanishing tires

    I spent the last year looking for Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires to no avail. (205/70 15s) I was looking for the raised white letter ones. I could get black-wall Firehawks but I wanted RWL ones. I'm down to the bare minimum tread on mine now, so next month I will have to get the BF...
