My unrestored 68 GT Conv. has parchment interior and has a black dash pad and black carpet. The painted portion of the dash, door shells, rear quarter, etc. is painted parchment. My CAC report from Ford also states Parchment w/ black all vinyl bucket seats. I have a picture of a restored GT...

I have always heard that they upgraded to an IBM computer in 1967 which enabled them to retain the data in a smaller area. Remember in 67 the computer took up a whole lot more room than today.

Paul, I might be able to help with the radio. For my concourse car I did the following: 1. had a radio tech at work check to ensure it was in working condition. 2. checked all wiring 3. removed cover and cleaned dust and dirt 4. polished face and push buttons. If this will work for your...

If you decide to go with used or reproduction I may be interested in your NOS mouldings. Let me know. Danny

I knew some X-codes were equipped with the GT option I did not think for the CS/HCS it could be more than a couple. Also I don't know if 25% is a high or low guess for the J-codes. Again just a SWAG. Although if these numbers are close it makes the "standard" GT coupe almost as rare as a...

I'll take a SWAG at this. All of the 390 4V cars and all the 428 CJ which should equal 227. Of the 962 J-code car let's say 25% were GT's that would be another 240. Total California Special/ HCS with factory GT option = 467. How is that for a guess! Maybe Paul's new book will have the true...

The X-Code base is 17.84" dia- 4.20 high C8AZ-9600-D.

I don't know how to do the link thing, it was a thread you started on 1-7-06 "Saturday Morning PCV System Installation Pictures"

According to the May 1975 Final Edition of the MPC the 1968 390 4/B had three different air cleaner assemblies. The first was for the ("GT" with 4/B carb.) it is C8OZ-9600-B which is 17.00" dia.- 4.20 high. The second was (except "GT") (with 4/B carb.) C8OZ-9600-A which is 17.00" dia. -4.20...

It looks like you have the correct fan, radiator, distributor, air cleaner, brackets and pulleys on the engine. That in itself will save you quite a bit of $$$$. Take lots of pictures and have fun with it. Danny

What a great car John and to be the original owner. WOW!

The non A/C cars did have a longer console base. So many have been switched over the years most people do not notice the difference. The shifter housing and shifter are both different. From the top of my head 1. Console base 2. Base pad with metal insert 3. Radio pad with metal radio support...

Why don't you go look at it in person? Pictures can hide alot and bodywork is not cheap. Original Tooling hoods are available, a little more expensive, but available.

Last year I ask everyone what their winter project was, the threat went pretty well. So, what is your winter project? As I announced a few months ago this past summer I bought a 1968.5 Cobra Jet coupe. I have started to dismantle the car and hope to have it completley dismantled and have it...

Yeah, I finished mine Labor Day 2005. This summer I bought a 428 Cobra Jet project that I hope to dive into after the Holidays. My uncle was encouraging me to paint the backing plates when I was doing a brake job on my driver a few months ago, "just 3 bolts". I told him the LCA would then...

The tube pictured is incorrect for 1968. The correct tube for the 289/302 is part# C8AZ-6754-A and attaches to the head below the thermostat housing. The attaching bracket is just under 2". I think they are reproducing the correct tube. The tube pictured may be correct for earlier 289...

No, just a voice of experience!!! I don't know what is worse, taking that step or resisting the urge. Danny

Welcome to the site. I hope you find it as helpful as I have. Good Luck with the car and let us know as much about it as you can. We're curious folks around here! I found a JACKSON on a CS I documented a few years ago, and would be interested in what your car has regarding marks and stamps...

If this is a driver I would steam clean, scuff and re-paint. Remove as many small pieces as possible and strip those with what you have available (blaster, chemical). Mustang Monthly has done a few articles on engine and engine compartment detailing, you might be able to get a back issue for...

An inspection mark for sure. I agree with Rhonda looks like a 71 with a circle around it.
