    . Ruppstang's grouping in Mustang Times

    I just received my Mustang Times and skimming through it I saw the article Mary Jean Wesche did on her trip there in the summer of 2009 (page 48) and staying a weekend with Marty and his family. This is what owning a Mustang is all about. Owners getting together and displaying their ponies...

    1968 How did you find your GT/CS?

    Bought mine new at Hayward Ford, Hayward, CA, April '68 for about $4,000. Saw a Hayward Ford Bill Board and decided to see what they had. Traded in a '65 six cylinder, three speed Mustang coupe as down payment (got about $1,200 for it). Still own and drive to a lot of shows. In fact, I plan...

    For Sale Found on Sacramento Craigslist

    I was amused by the part which stated "A rich older lady bought it and was chauffered in the back seat." There really isn't that much room in the back seat. I could understand being chauffered around in the front passenger seat - but the back seat. Somewhat uncomfortable. Bill

    1968 Console Base - Two Types

    Russ, I been told the 67 & 68 consoles are different - the 68s have padding while the 67 does not; so it looks like there is an additional difference - with or w/o AC. If these are 68s, would you be interested in selling the non-a/c one since you stated it would not fit. And what would be...

    . Yakima WA show this weekend-I-90 delays

    Amy, Yep, I will still be going. I use the 410 Chinook Pass route when I head to Eastern Washington. The word has gotten out about the construction and some are using Hwy 2 through Leavenworth then down to Ellensburg; or the same route as I; or Hwy 12 over White Pass depending on where they...

    . Photos from IMM in Billings, MT

    Here are a few photos I took at the 31st International Mustang Meet in Billings, MT, the weekend of 4-7 September 2009. I didn't get around to taking photos of the late model GT/CS's. I barely remembered to take photos of the 68 California Specials. It was quite warm - hot for a western...

    Sorry I didn't see this message sooner. I usually view as a 'Guest' then logged on when I want to make a comment. To answer your question, yes there is the hose attachment on the air cleaner snout. I goes back to the vacumn control at the rear of the intake manifold.

    . Kruise of Klamath - Oregon

    Amy, that's great. I'll see you there. Barb Alvarez and her gang usually show up in their classes, so you might want to check with her to see when she is leaving so you won't have to travel alone. I'm in the process of cleaning my Special to participate in the Judge show this weekend in...

    Carburetor

    I don't know if the auto-choke on yours is the same as on my Autolite 4bbl which works off the exhaust, but I had the same problems a couple weeks ago. My Special would not go into fast idle upon starting. I tried to move it manually and it acted as if it was hung up. When I took off the...
