I have had my 1968 GT/CS since I bought it new from Haywood Ford, Haywood, CA, and it was off. Also in Pauls 1996 Registry book page 97 it states "A slight misalignment of the end caps is normal. When the trunk lid is closed, there is usually a slight mismatch with the top of the end spoiler...

My 68 GT/CS is currently in the shop - at A Mustang Ranch, in Eatonville, WA - waiting to be painted and having the radiator recored. It's primarily an occasional driver however I have over 485,000 miles on it. I say "I" since I've owned it since new. It's an Acapulco Blue 302 4bbl C-4...

I'm thinking about making the trip down myself to the Golden Gate MCA show. I'm having my GT/CS painted this winter, so it should be fresh and ready to show. I'm getting the whole car repainted earlier than planned due to the fire under the hood in August. I was going to wait one more year...

Here are some photos I took, one of the GT/CSs - in the foreground the three in Stock Class and the backgound shows the two in the Modified Class. I also took a photo of the scorched underhood from the fire last month (Power Steering Return Failure Thread). The last photo is of the award...

I'm see I'm not the only one with power steering problems. On the 16 of August my pressure power steering hose gave way and sprayed fluid all over the exhaust manifold. If that wasn't enough, it caught fire and did some damage on the driver's side and under the hood. I've had the hose...

Tenatively count me in for the Hot Rod Cafe. I've been there a couple times during my trips and have enjoyed my stop over. I think it would be cool to have a bunch of GT/CSs pull in - sort of a mini car show. Bill

That's probably why the seller is omitting the VIN from the current ebay ad. I'm wondering if he was aware of the distinction before he bought it. Possibly someone pointed it out to him after he bought it and now he's trying to get rid of it after only owning it for about a month. He's...

Considering the VIN number began with 8F01, anyone who knows the Cal Specials, know they begin with 8R01 for the San Jose plant; the 8F01 was the Dearborn plant. Someone did not do their research if they thought it was other than a clone; the front end (fog lights). hood latches, are incorrect...

Nope, that was not Tanner and I at Hood River, wish it was, I would have enjoyed the trip. I will be going to Pierce County's show this Sunday (14th) and then next Saturday (20th) to Bowen Scarff's show in Kent. The following weekend to the Mustang & Ford show in Langley, BC (28th); then to...

I guess I best put my two cents worth in since I have been mentioned a couple time earlier in this thread - I must have missed it when it came out. Yes I have a Dealer installed hood tach. When I purchased my Special at Haywood Ford, Haywood, CA, in April 1968, I wanted an in dash tach...

I also have Hagerty Insurance. Most classic insurance companies have the restriction on not using the insured vehicle as a daily driver. As some of you know I do a lot of traveling and when I head back to eastern U.S., I just let my agent know I'm making the trip and there is no problem. I...

I will be joining a group who are leading the way. I don't know of any other 68 Specials are in the group, but there may be a late model GT/CS. We are catching the 10am ferry out of Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay on Saturday; and about 12:30 we stop at the Malahat Mountain Inn for lunch. Glad you...

Are you going to the show up in Parksville this coming Sunday? If so I shall see you there, and I will be bringing Paul's Book so you can have a look at it. Bill

Before anyone tries this link, don't. I tried and my Norton Antivirus stated this was an unsafe site. Whodat you may want to contact your cousin and find out what the problem is with the link you supplied. This is another link to the Museum: www.petevicari.com/Museum_Pg.htm

In reference to the carb, what is pictured is the same as I have on my 302 4bbl, so I would say yes. My current carb is not the original, but it is the same as when I purchased it in 1968. I have used Holleys, but always kept and used the Autolite 4300 when needed. Bill

Per Pauls entry in the SAAC Cal Spec forum, he will be mailing them out around April 14th (today) and with the normal mail delivery time for books being mailed, us Washingtonians should be receiving our copies later next week. (I've ordered books from southern California and that's about how...

My GT/CS J code also came with the GT Equipment package also. (Marti report forum sticky page 6 item #90) Bill

Check the bottom of the page and it will list similar threads on the one being read. (I found out by accident when I was looking for a "look-up" feature, and discovered the list of similar threads listing.)

When I was stationed at Fort Ord, CA, in 68-70 and after I purchased my Special, I belonged to a mustang club out of Salinas, called the Green Gold Mustang Club. We participated in many road ralleyes and cruises around the Monterey Bay and Salinas Valley areas; even had a track run on Laguna...

I just happen to noticed it is Robert's Birthday. Happy Birthday Robert... your expertise has helped a lot of us with our Specials, so this is your Special Birthday. Enjoy it and have many many more. Bill
