And the crank pulley in the photos shows evidence of blue, PO respray? As I thought they were black from the factory but am not sure???

Anyone got a few close ups of a factory 289 water pump? I think mine may be a replacement, but am not sure... no date code I can see and oddish looking casting number that look after market. How available would date correct (late 8B or early 8C) ones be?

Thanks for that pic... no wonder I can't find them when installed! :wink:

Where is the C8OE cast? I see 289 on mine, and the dates line up with the build late April (8C6, 8C7) and the rest of the parts, but did not find the casting number...

Car had no rear bumper guards. Thought by April they were an option and removed due to cost cutting post strike?

Yep, have used Hansen before, and have their tatco squeezer. But I just bought this one: http://www.cleavelandtool.com/Main-Squeeze-model-22/productinfo/SCH22/#.Ui3EWbtArIU Way nice tool... :wink: Quick change heads, less force required (by more than half), adjustable throw (no spacers on...

A few hours today with stripper then a pressure wash and some rust converter... A bit more to finish prep, but pretty happy with the results.

Well... as a faded driver not really a "star", and an odd coincidence of timing. In disassembling have been VERY pleased with the condition of the car... very little rust and other than a LH front bingle and repro front bumper/arms and service fender/bucket looking pretty unmolested. Anyone...

Good thing its just a "minor repaint"! :wink:

Continued prep before paint, a good few hours yesterday removing some spray on goo the PO added to the trunk. I guess the plus is it may have helped keep rust away... Before After Next, strip engine bay and finish removing old vinyl roof glue...

A Sharpie... now that is some lateral thinking... may give it a go. :wink:

Yep, why I was hoping someone would post a pic or two of a recently done C code to current knowledge....correct for a GT/CS...

Yep, a quart of gun cleaner (thinner), 3 cans of spray degreaser a big pile of rags and a pressure washer and "most" of the goo is gone. Love what some PO's do....

As only 3 428's GT/CS's were made, and 9 HSC's for this model, possible that it more than doubles the value as extremely rare cars (and how many times did they get sale data to get their "market value? :wink:) A couple hundred 390's (~5%, vs 3% for non GT/CS) and don't see them bringing that...

Hmmm... that's kinda what I thought. Can anyone else confirm?

Yep, got that and a heap of others... as noted was hoping maybe one person out there had a photos to look at...

The trunk area in mine is sprayed black. (quarter panles areas area around gas tank, tail panle inside surface but not the full bracket where the gas filler goes. Not the top of the tank. Assumed it was a PO deal, but am not sure as with the taillight caps sticking thru (black) and the...

Probably as its a somewhat random guide. Not sure how they get -10% for a manual top, when that drops the price of a top end car by over $3000, for a $1000 add-on that takes an hour or two and any handy person can install easily with hand tools. Yet a center console, harder part to find and...

Yep, got the basic FoMoCo corp blue over block/wp/heads/pan/tstat/bypass all installed. Looking for details of non blue items and odds and ends like if Whittek or wire clamps were used, finishes on bolt-ons and misc components like: Exh Manifolds - natural (overspray of blue on them?) PS pump...

Were they painted the same color as the grille or separately in SGB and then attached to the grille? Rivets are natural?
