I do not think charging for the registry is appropriate, however, if you wanted to offer the items listed for a fee to advertise the registry and for owners to show pride in their car being a CS I think would be OK. I do not currently own a CS, so "joining" the CS registry is a mute point...

Does the Marti report indicate if it has the GT option or not? What other factory options are on this car? This car would looks sweet next to my blk/blk 390 GT fastback and blk/blk CJ GT Coupe. Danny

Great news Tom! So will you be attending more MCA shows now? I guess I don't have room to talk, I haven't done any MCA shows this year. Danny

The currently available full 68 rear quarters are not correct due to the scoop contour, there is a quarter skin available that does have the correct contour. Actually the correct skin may be of the early style. I know when we skinned a car recently we used the correct contour skin and cut out...

EVERY '68 J-Code GT I have ever owned has had a 9 inch rear! Danny

Paul, I hope this decision is being made because it is time to move on, and not to finance the book project. Good luck with the sale. Danny

Your public profile doesn't say where you are located, but if you are in a region of the country to find good original parts I would use those as a first choice. Reproduction parts often require alot of work to ensure a good fit. If you are paying a shop to do the work labor rates may cost...

Good luck Tom, I am confident you will do well. Danny

This is an interesting break down. 14 Candyapple Red w/ red interior cars, of those 12 were GT's. I have Ford paperwork that indicated the GT option was mandatory with the 390-4V after 12-12-67. Also PDB was supposed to be a mandatory option w/ the 390-4V GT package. Is it possible Marti...

Rich, Have you checked the numbers and tag, is this truely the original engine, manifold,tag? The photo on page 8-6 of Bob Mannel's book shows the dipstick location facing down. Also upon closer inspection it is a 289 tag. My 390 tag is on my coil bracket bolt, but that is another animal...

The couple original J codes I have come across lately have all been on the dipstick tube bolt. I can't say for certain on the C codes. Casey's gallery photos show the tag, maybe he has some photos b/f he took his off to give you the documentation you are looking for. Danny

The standard non-tach cluster does not have the cup for the tach, also if you look below the clock opening there are two bulb sockets. The '68 tach cluster has the cup and three bulb sockets below the clock. The '67 tach cluster uses a different wiring harness and (if I'm not mistaken) one or...

It is a great article, it is also a change to see so many different cars featured in the same article. A+++. I really enjoyed it. Danny

Only in a perfect world would you find a CS and HCS that were in identical condition and options. That being said I would find the nicest one YOU can afford. Danny

I see the car has the Shelby 10 spokes, that means the car has been upgraded to the 5 lug suspension. If true, it is easier and cheaper to drop a small block in it. If not you can add the cost of changing the suspension back. I would also take a look at the repairs, like someone else said...

The more I read the post, the more I realized that it was not a gold nugget special. I am convinced, however, that it was some type of local promotion out of the NY/NJ area. The questions, on this one, remain to be...how many, what were they called, etc. We all know Ford had a much more...

OK, is this a gold nugget special. I used to own an identical car, and have a Marti Report on another identical car. All three were produced the same day, they had different scheduled build dates, but were actually built the same day. As you can see the Order Type is "Local Promotion". Is...

After shipping it was $56 and some change.

The GT valance was only installed on the cars w/ the GT option, not to say many cars have received them since leaving the factory. The front and rear bumper gaurds were standard at the beginning of 68 production, but by spring became a stand alone option. Because of the UAW strike in late...
