    Taillight Covers (Inside Trunk)

    I was a big NPD fan until recently. I purchased a headlight harness from them and they send out the wrong part. The packaging had 2 different labels (GT w/ Tach and GT w/o Tach) and the actual part was neither of these. The manager talked about how they have 60,000+ parts and that it is the...

    Woodward Dream Cruise Saturday 8/19

    The Hemmings article said the car is now part of Craig Jackson's collection. Any idea how he got hold of it? Did it go from the Darrow's to Jackson? I wonder what he paid for it? Conflict of interest are not the right words, but Jackson certainly has a unique opportunity to really drive the...

    Paul, it is the Sept issue. I don't know how much of this story has been published (I don't have a copy of your book...really looking forward to the new one!!). This article absolutely references your book and how you were involved in identifying the car. Interesting reference to the...

    Exp500

    Read the article. Not having read other accounts, not sure if there is any new information. I found a couple of things interesting: Craig Jackson (Barrett Jackson) has the car in his private collection The fuel injection unit and independent rear suspension were stolen from the ford holding...

    Sacramento GT/CS on eBay again

    So , what is going on with the sale of CS's. This one stalled at $15K and the red one in Arkansas at $13K. Is this a bad sign? Is it the "C" code, all small blocks, mustangs??!?? These seemed like good quality cars. I know that Camaro's, Chevelle's, Mopar's can not be found for less than...

    emergency brake handle

    Timely thread. I am having the same problem. I tried drilling, did not work, I think you need a really good bit! I also took off as much of the plastic handle as possible and tried channel locks. Didn't work either. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated! David

    HELP me Identify if this 1968 Mustang is a California Special or a ??

    Not sure anyone still cares, but the bottom of the following website lists Mustang build dates (from the scodemustang web site). Seems that the 1st '68 mustangs were built in July 1967. Not a year, but still 6 months early. http://www.scodemustang.com/s_faq.php David

    CS/HCS Wiring Harness

    I can not tell you how much mental pain I am in right now. Without going into all the details of my restoration nightmare (I am feeling a little like David A must have over the years...David, you are my inspiration that there might be light at the end of the tunnel), Friday night I fried my...

    water leakage/trunk

    Doug and Arlie, I really appreciate you posting these pictures. Still no clue what I will do, but I did like Don's idea of a vacum hose added to the existing weatherstriping when I wash the car. Thanks David

    water leakage/trunk

    Has anyone ever drilled holes in the rear quarter wells? I have the same problem and was thinking about trying this. Too chicken so far. Don't want my paint chipping, even if it is under the car. david

    Autolite Battery

    For what it is worth, I spoke with someone at NPD today and they said that the one of the reason the company went out of business was that they had problems with the batteries not holding a charge and that the more expensive batteries are higher quality.

    1966 Columbine Blue HCS for auction on Ebay

    This is the 1st HCS I have seen on ebay in over 6 months. I am sure this has been discussed before, but what is the general thinking on value of a HCS vs GTCS? David
