    '68 Cardinal Special Article

    The Cardinal Special was actually sold in Va. and N.C., I saw one a few years ago at a Mustang show in Richmond, VA. It may actually be the one featured in the MM article.

    help please: what is a 68 C.S. "135 series"?

    On December 26, 1967 Ford announced their intention on accepting orders for a limited number of Mustang Fastbacks equipped them with the 428 Cobra Jet. These cars could be ordered as DSO option 84-5660, or DSO option 84-5661 if the car is desired less sealer and deadners. The were all built in...

    Opinions needed: building my first set of tools for the garage

    I am still on my 1st tool set. I started with a 3/8 socket set and some screw drivers about 25 years ago. I just replaced some of the screw drivers and the MAC man commented on how old they were. I am not a mechanic by trade, but I have learned that there is a difference in tools. Buy...

    I think that was a fair offer considering the work the car needs.

    Pick this apart for me please...

    It is a 390 4spd. car which is very desirable, however, I agree with CougarCJ. The air cleaner, heat riser and snorkel can be costly to replace. If the distributor is not original add $500-$1000 for just that part. Carb, smog, etc. Alot of the 390 parts are the same as Cobra Jets, they bring...

    Original quarter marker lights??

    Quarter reflectors and side marker lights were required by federal law in 1968, they were not used on any Mustang in 1967. The UAW strike of 1967 greatly affected the early 68 production of all Ford products, and alot of changes were made after the strike. The side reflectors, dash knee...

    question on console pad and will sell my CS

    I know Just Dashes in CA does this kind of work. Magazine articles on this subject rave about Just Dashes. I know they are pricey, but I have not had any work done by them. Let me know if you use them, I have a couple 4 spd. pads and an original dash to be recovered. Danny

    40th at Carlisle...

    I talked with Rick Markko today, the Cobra Jet Reunion is a go for this years theme. Alot of interest on some other forums. As for a California Special/HCS Reunion, I think they would entertain it. They usually, have one main theme and some smaller gatherings. I doesn't hurt to ask.

    Size of GT wheels?

    Yes, that is exactly what it means.

    Totaled CS-I need some advice

    Are you saying the car has a Salvage Title? Even so, I think the more you can document the less of an issue it will be. Keep any and all paperwork you may have received regarding the claim or accident. Document with photos all of the repair/restoration work which is done to the car. Take lots of...

    Should you wait for the GT/CS that you really want?

    I agree with Steve. I would decide what you want and what you can be happy with. I think finding the exact dream car you have pictured in your mind in the condition you want and the price you are willing to pay is far fetched. I wanted a 68 factory "GT" in every body style, and decided...

    Size of GT wheels?

    The factory installed styled steel wheel used on the 1968 Mustang were 14x6. It was offered in argent or chrome with trim rings and center caps. Two different center caps were used a plain cap and one with GT lettering. These wheels were of the five lug design and therefore not applicapable...
