    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    As I allways say it is your car bulid it like you want. You may only attend one MCA show a year. That is why I decided to take the deduction on our car.

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    Mike every thing on our car is as correct as far as my knowledge wll make it. MCA rules for the concours classes say the car must be as delivered. So if a dealer installed a mirror or console you would need to have documentation on the sales contract. This is more commonly checked on unrestored...

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    One odd factoid I have come across (as S codes are dear to me) is no 68 S code convertibles got a bench seat. Actualy no 68 convertibles got bench seats. You can find that one in the 68 Mustang sales broacher. Thanks for sharing your theroies. At first I thought it may mean that you build was...

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    I am quite certain non GT J code cars only got single exhaust. I would only except differently by a documented unrestored car or a Marti report.

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    Thanks for the Marti reports. It was not that I did not believe you, but as a judge I am eager to lean more about these cars so when I am judging I can do a better job. Interestingly My dad's 68 S code was built in the same plant one day after yours and sold fifteen days later than yours. I...

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    Here is a copy of a August 67 addendum to the Ford sales catalog. Note the last paragraph under Mustang. Dalorzo what is the build date of your S code. Your are correct the Marti report trumps all other information. If you would not mind I would like to see your report. Marty

    1968 Dual Exhaust Tips

    The only non GT exhaust for the J code 4V was the single exhaust with the turn down tip. The duel verson was only for the cougars. I believe that some of the confusion comes from that in 67 there was a non GT duel system that had turn downs. I am not sure about the duel turn down tips on the S...

    + 1 also a intresting fact that I discovered when doing our HCS is that the original Ford tips were chrome plated not stainless steel. Marty

    1968 Calling all two tone blue interior owners

    NPD gets their carpet from Auto Custom Carpet. You can go to their web site autocustomcarpet.com and look at their samples. After you find what you think is close you can ask for a free sample. Thats helps alot. I have not had much luck buying NPD's interior paint and dye. They are not even...

    1968 Calling all two tone blue interior owners

    The headliner and visors are medium blue and the carpet is dark blue. I judge a lot of cars that the owners used the wrong colors. I'll atach a picture of a unrestored 68 blue interior. One very frustration thing is getting the correct carpet color because they do not make the perfect match...

    1968 Turn Signal Flasher

    Now the real question is why did it blow? Marty

    1968 Turn Signal Flasher

    Steve it is not the flasher. Same flasher does both sides. Most likely a bad turn switch or conection. Marty
