    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    ...Here's a closeup or two, Cory. Indeed we did see a lot of "blue" that day. ;-)

    ...Okay, but my oldest brother had a first-year Gremlin X which he added a big Holley and heavy sway bars to the 304 / 3-spd package... That car was DARN quick, plus it gave him over 200,000 miles between 1972 & '79 (Navy pilot travels to FLA and TX) until it was totaled in a San Francisco...

    ...I always avoided parking next to them at supermarkets because of their seemingly 10-foot X 1,000 lb. doors! You could always tell when you were "dinged" by a Pacer. The body contour and fact that the seats were too far forward for its driver to "slither in" looked as though it was...

    1968 Sunday "Car Day"....

    ...Today, we finished detailing the GT/CS with Renee, then proceeded to bring all the '68s out. It felt good to fire up those 289s, 302s and 390s! :-)

    1968 Another Cal Special spotted in Sacramento area

    Oscar, what makes it interesting to me are the ones you catch who don't belong to any clubs, don't know or care about a registry, are gracious about invitation but don't join the group.... yet, they have been passionate long-term owners who still love their cars as though they picked 'em up...

    Scared $%#&less

    No worries Paul. The CS will never be a "commuter" for Renee.... Not as long as I still have it at my house.....'Guess I better keep it indefinately just to make sure. ;-))

    1968 Trouble starting new engine

    I was sure you did, Doug, but that would've explained the volume of water (in my rookie mind;-) I hope she works this time. I know there's little more frustrating.....>

    Doug, Please clarify. You're not letting it cure before you torque the intake manifold bolts, are you??

    'Really sucks being "human" sometimes Renee, I know... And calming you at that hour was a no brainer - all I had to do was remind you of what you already knew. Besides, it beats the heck out of someone's fax machine that often calls me at 4 AM! Oh, the bone-head car-bender (and near misses)...

    'Great to hear from you, Robert. Yeah, we were all set to do cars last Sunday, but it rained, so this Saturday will be "it" before Autorama on Valentines Day weekend! As for your "items to be addressed", I overheard Rob on another thread talking about headers, plus a lot of "tech" from...

    1968 What do you like the most about the 1968 Mustang?

    ...I get those stories a lot, Steve. When I bought my '69 Mach, I took it up to the airport to show a retired airline pilot friend. He said "yeah, I had one of those... It was smaller and I got it from a rental outfit... It had GT350H on it... I hated that gawdam thing, cuz I couldn't keep it...
