Tube semi gloss black, the handle and cap was plated phosphate and oil. Hope tis helps. Marty

I just looked at Deadstang's very original X code and it was painted as well. I learn some thing new today. Marty

Most likely they are 14s. Yes the duel diaphragm advances are getting tough to find. They are rebuildable. I have not seen many original X codes, I was surprised to see a painted rocker covers and air cleaner. The S codes are chrome. You might want to verify the VIN on the engine. Marty

Buy it Steve and sell me those 68 Shelby wheels and hub caps if they are 15 inch! LOL Marty

Neil if you can find a decent set of originals most of the scratches will polish out. They are aluminum and not anodized. Of course NOS would be the best but cost $$$.

You will have to change the speedometer gear if you want it to read correctly. Marty

Stephen, I got a original set of ten spokes with our 68 GT350 although 99% of 68 GT350s came with hub caps. The problem was that Ford changed the brake caliper from a 4 puck design in 67 to a 2 puck design in 68 and the original ten spokes would rub unless you added spacers. I sold mine for 3K...

Today is the last day to register at Motosho.com for the show if you wish to be in a judged class. I believe that they will be taking day of display only entry's. Is there any one else besides Dave and I going? I have not even seen a entry from Bob Teets. I guess I will have to call him. I am...

That is why you should not trust a old memory. I was too lazy to look it up. Thanks Arlie

Hi Dominick, I do not do it my self. I have the shop in Omaha that does my other plated finishes do it. It is not hard to do your self I just do not have the time. You should check with platers in your area or just buy the phosphate and do it your self. The cost of shipping two ways would...

I believe that it is 3 inches. Marty

I guess what I was trying to say it was not originally intended as a stand a lone option but Ford changed their mind and offered it as a stand alone option as reflected in you Marti reports. Marty

I would not give 20K for it with that cheap paint job. It has to make you wonder what is hiding in the body and metal work. I would take a rusted and dented barn find over this money pit. Marty

Sorry it did not scan very well but it is camera case black. Marty

Here it is described in my 1968 Ford options sales catalog . Marty

As Neil said the deluxe wheel came with the wood grain on the center pad. This wheel - pad combination was intended to go with the décor interior with no other way to get it. But in past years you could order a deluxe wheel so since there was demand they allowed the deluxe wheel to be optioned...

I'll tell you what if we meet half way in Loveland Co. next month for the MCA national show and we both can have some driving fun! LOL Marty

I got my 2015 Mustang It has been a great fathers day weekend I got my 2015 Mustang Friday. It drives and rides much better than my old one. I will force my self to take it out at least once a week. Happy fathers day to all of you. Marty PS Any thing you do in a Mustang is more fun!

I wish I could hang out with you guys at some shows but the 1200 miles of fun is more than I can take too often. LOL Marty

Participant judging does not always work well, often a large club or group comes and votes their cars in. We had this problem with the late model class (two years old and newer) in the MCA. We had so many complaints we changed it to presidents choice. The club president does a quick evaluation...
