I know my father had the dealer add a vinyl top to a Granada we bought new. I know two 68 coupes I have owned with factory vinyl roof did not have the roof line on the B pillar leaded in. When you removed the moulding and lifted the vinyl it exposed rivets and welds. This should be a good...

Jeff, Do you have any knowledge of the front suspension pieces being "blacked out" on San Jose cars. My car had ALL of the original suspension when I purchased the car in 1981, most of it remains on the car today. I restored it to "natural" conditions. I am convinced it was blacked out, it...

Scott, Could you fax or e-mail a copt of that to me? I would love to have a copy if it were to ever come into question in the future. Thanks. Danny

Jeff, Welcome to this sight. I read your posts on the VMF and find them informative. I came to this sight because I was restoring a San Jose built fastback and references on the East Coast were slim to none. I agree with alot of what you say regarding people restoring their cars to ones they...

I think the MCA does an excellent job, there are alot of models, a couple factories, numerous venders, strikes, the human element.... I take what ANYONE tells me with a grain of salt. I look at all the reference material available, including this site, and try to determine to MY satisfaction...

After Arlie reminded me of the strike I pulled the assembly manual out. The illistration of the front bumper guards have a revision date of 11-27-67 and states "Effective with CZW1-PF-516381- Items 8, "K", "L", "M", and "N" now (R.P.O.). The referenced items are the front guards and attaching...

I did a querry through California DMV about two years ago and got the information. They do their research via the tag (registration) not the VIN.

I'm sure Hertz and other rental companies used the popular cars of the times, as evidenced by there use today. John, good luck with your research and keep us posted.

I recently had a MCA Judge tell me that my car should have the front bumper guards on the car. When I bought my car (GT Fastback) in 1981 it did not have bumper guards on the front or rear. I was planning on putting both front and rear guards on my car until I discovered the rear taillight...

SEA FOAM GREEN Keep it original. I like the "weird" colors because you rarely see them. Everyone in the 70's and 80's were painting their Mustangs re-sale red, blue, black or white. I'm confident you will get lots of compliments, comments, and questions about SEA FOAM GREEN. And yes my...

I'm confused! Is this a "special edition" California Special with additional badging or a "regular" California Special? If Hertz was the original owner of the car and it was used as a rental I see little difference in price between it and any other California Special. However, if it is...

I saw a few parts specific to the CS. A few sets of locus fog lights, taillight lens and chrome, pedastals for the fog lights $50, and I picked up the sales pamphlet that folds out into a poster. Some other NOS stuff for the 68 generally.

None that I saw. I thought the selection of vehicles for sale was much smaller and the quality was poor this year. Some nice Cougar restorations were present and the Police car display was cool.

Scissor jack, lug wrench (stamped steel folding end), hold down bolt, nut, and in some cases a spacer. The storage method depends on wheel combo.

Last count I heard was around 265 Mustangs. The final number may be slightly higher. I think Tom and I were the only one from this sight that attended. I had a former MCA Judge who is very knowledgable look over my car, he pointed out 15-20 things that were incorrect or missing. I tend to...

If I'm not mistaken that was print #001. Should be worth a few dollars more than the rest of the limited production.

Yes, the body was SOLID wood! Tom, Congrats on your wins!

I'm leaving in about 1 hour, see you there. Carlisle All Ford Nationals next weekend. Danny

Mike, I do not have one, but will keep an eye out. Is it a 4 spd. or auto?

MCA has Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards for most of there classes. Each car starts w/ 700 points and Judges deduct points from there. They have a guidesheet indicated what each part/section is "worth". The cars compete against themselves in a sense. Tom and I were both in the same class and...
