I went the media blast way when I pulled my engine. Very happy with the results. You need to keep in mind that if you do have the engine compartment media blasted, you never know what you might find (previously repaired damage, rust, etc) and repairs could add up. Good luck with which ever...

Me and my new best friend! That is me on the right, the short one. Got to meet Carroll Shelby last night at a Holiday party to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Shelby American Collection Museum in Boulder, Co.

I gave up looking for one based upon the same reasons Arlie mentioned in his response. There are quite a lot of individual pieces. You will also need longer radio knobs, which I do not believe are reproduced either. david

There is a Mustang shop in Denver called Colorado Mustang Specialists (303 343-7024). Dan, the owner, has one of the largest, if not the largest, Mustang wrecking yards. I purchased a decent used one for around $150. When you call ask for Pat (5280 GTCS). david

That was too funny!

The Shelby's had a similar cluster (w/ 140MPH speedo) but had guages in the console to offset the warning lights for oil pressure, etc. Was anything done for oil pressure on the non Shelby cars with tach's? Seems dangerous not having an oil pressure gauge. david

Oops, reading too fast, sorry. I think this has been discussed before. You might want to use the search button and see what is out there. david

Forgot to upload the attachment. david

I just re-did my interior, replacing the carpet, seat covers, dash, etc. My car is candyapple red. I am not the original owner, but everything appeared original. Hope this helps. BTW, I have no idea what the 5 on the floor pan represents. david

I built mine to race at Bandimere Raceway in Denver, CO. It is a HCS with a 351W stroked to 393. Not been to the dyno yet, but expecting that it is putting out about 450HP and 500LBS of torque at the flywheel. Still working on the set up, but I expect it to easily run in the 13's at our high...

I would also prefer HCS specific items. But there clearly is a relationship between the two cars and something that addresses both of them on one item would be fine with me. Paul, I appreciate your thoughtfulness on this subject. I am probably not as hardcore as others given that I currently...

Anyone know what the vote count was last year? I am holding out hope for a last minute rush!

They all look great. Going to be some tough decisions.

Here is another article with some production info. http://www.hammar.dyndns.org/~mexmust/articles/m88an79.htm It sounds like there are not many of these still around. I wonder how the Shelby crowd views these cars. Paul, looking forward to seeing your book. david

I brought my HCS to a car show in Littleton, Colorado this weekend. Huge show, approx 700 cars. I saw 2 "real" 68 CS's and 2 "CS recreations - a fastback and a convertible with a 428" along with approx 5 new CS's. I was sitting by my car and a guy comes up to me to chat. He was very familiar...

Interesting. Look who is bidding on this car...MustangsUnlimited. Isn't this the same parts supplier that was using members pictures in their catalog without their permission? I guess they decided they need their own GT/CS to photograph. david

You are all incredible! Thank you all so much for your prompt responses and offers to provide wiring diagrams. Now I can get to work on the car. Thanks much David

Thanks Randy, that confirms what I was thinking. david

I have not gotten any reponses under the "Wiring Diagram" thread. Please, please, please can someone tell me the color of the wires that connect to the oil pressure gauge? I think they are black with white strip and White with red stripe. Also, does this type of gauge move around alot or...

Great site from C160223, but the Instrument Cluster diagram (E3) shows an oil temp guage. Don't most non tach clusters come with an oil pressure gauge? I came across this thread as I am trying to determine the color of the wires going to the oil pressure gauge. I know that one is black with a...
