Here is John's car at the St George UT MCA national show. It was really beautiful. The 68 HCS J code we are now restoring is Brittney blue as well but with stripes. Marty

Note the correct exterior to interior paint line on the bottom of the door. A detail that many restorers miss. Marty

Beautiful interior, beautiful workmanship. Rob you never cease to amaze me. Some day if I ever do a modified car I am going to use that interior. Is it leather? Marty

That is my understanding there were only 3. But of the 251 HCS 9 were R codes. I guess they like to go fast in the high country. Marty

You are correct Bob had them made. He gave me the name of the shop in Denver but I could not find it. My son in-law is a graphic artist, I will ask him if he could do a design some thing like the one pictured. It may be a while though as they just had a baby boy last weekend and he is very busy...

I have tried to track down the art work wit any luck. I will have to have some made some time. Thanks any way Arlie

If you think it has gone too far to repair go to a salvage yard and buy the top section. Then section it in to the damaged area of yours. It would not take much more than a hour and a half to repair. Looks like you may need a grill support as well. I have several laying around and would give you...

I find it nearly impossible to build a correctly detailed concours car for less than 50K even doing a large part of the work my self. Your best bet is to buy a completed car, but spend the money on a quality inspection. Marty

May be like this. I would buy on too if it is possible to have them made. Marty

I won't need it this time but I won't forget you have it. I did not ask him where he got it. I will next time I see him. It has original Wimbledon white paint and trunk seal. It must have been a early take off. Marty

Wow I am glad you are ok. We have all had those close calls and is a good reminder that you can never be too careful. Marty

I got unbelievably lucky today. I went to Omaha today to work on a friends 67 fastback and happened to mention that the deck lid on our HCS was not worth fixing. He said I think I have one out in the shed. Sure enough it was there. A deal was made and I brought it home tonight. It truly is...

I have never seen a 67 or 68 with a rally pack. Marty

I all ready did, thanks Marty

We are in need of a useable original GTCS deck lid for our 68 HCS. PM Ruppstang - Marty if you can help.

Rob it looks like another J code GT with a 3:25 and welded shock towers? Nice car.

I have seen them on the BB but not on a small block. That one must have been ridden hard. Did Rob have it?

Yes it is.

Hate to ask why the hood is not painted?

I would add a QT of Lucas oil treatment and drive it. It may come out of it. I had a 81 Mustang that made a blue cloud when we first started it after two QTs of the Lucas no smoke. A rebuild is still the best cure.
