Rob you are not far off there. In a complete trailered concours restoration 1000 hours is not far off especially if you count the research and parts accusation hours. Any one would be lucky to have one of Neil's cars that he has donated his time to!

We have used the tail light harness and it is very good. As Steve said you could solder on a new connector if you can find one. I do not think there are any 6 pin connectors like that used in a 67-68 Mustang, but may be in a Cougar. You might check with West coast Classic Cougar. Marty

That six pin connector should plug directly in to the GTCS tail light harness. If I get a chance I get a picture of the wiring in one of our cars. Marty

Pete at the corralsnake.com has both harness and they are very good. We have used them on several of our cars. Marty

I agree with Neil, hire a person or shop to inspect the car. I guarantee it will be worth the cost. I have heard too many sad stories of purchasing a car only to find many dollars worth of repairs. Be patent and you will find a quality car. Lime gold was the most popular color in 68 so the odd...

Sorry to hear that. I see that you still have some pretty neat cars listed in your signature. I have a really nice 68 HCS listed in these classified if you want to get back in the game. Marty

I wish you had a Candy Apple Red or Royal Maroon HCS.

The 68 GTCS and 68 Shelby convertible tail lights and tail light panel are the same. As well is the deck lid. Marty

Welcome to the site! It looks by your Marti report your car is nicely equipped. Presidential Blue is a rare color only 2.7 % of the GTCS's were painted that color. Good luck with the restoration and keep us posted on your progress. Marty

Yes I hope to start the restoration on the 68 GT350 this year. I would like to have it completed for the 2018 season when it will be 50 years old. I am sad to sell our HCS but could use the funds for the Shelby project if I wish to get it done by 2018. My dad has a 68 GTCS and a 1968 J code GT...

Yes I did. I pulled these pictures from my files because the car is in winter storage. I will get better ones in the spring.

For Sale 1968 HCS If you are looking for a concours show car or car to get thumbs up on the streets this is your car. The car has been restored to MCA concours trailered standards. While shown in that class it has never had more than 10 points of 700 deducted, always easily receiving a Gold...

Neat old car, I would love to find one in that condition. Dr. Rob cures another one!

I am with Rob, the ignition area should be able to be sectioned in by a body shop. It is not that difficult to match a existing key to the new lock cylinder. IMHO changing the door locks would be a lot more work. Marty

The differences are settle the big one is about 1/4 inch in length of the ash tray. I have wondered why Ford made theses changes. I think the key hole area would be the same.

I am sorry to hear of your trouble. I would send your harness to Midlife Harness Repair. http://midlifeharness.com. Randy will do a good job repairing it and check every connection on the harness. I would repaint the entire dash after the metal repairs are done. I know this all stinks but your...

It sound like you need to start with a different main harness to get the car back in working order. Randy can repair or replace your harness. http://midlife66.com/harnesses or http://midlifeharness.com I have used him several times and would recommend his work. Marty

Thanks for your post, it would be great to see your Marti report and some pictures of your car including the position of the quarter script. BTW Happy New Year and welcome back! Marty
