Modifed, it has 14" Magnum 500's and fat 205's to keep the power of that C code on the road... :tongue: Value of modified vs. original? IMHO, modifed is worse in the long run. A 6 year old crate engine is just that... original is still FoMoCo... my bet is in the long run as close to...

Not sure how showing got into the converstion of what the X GT/CS is worth. For a full resto, it will most likely never be worth what is invested (especially if some of the S/X specific parts are missing, costs are astronomical for some due to the low numbers and demand for S parts driving...

The X code, while a big block, is an "underappreciated" version as a 2V. An example of where "rare" does not translate to big $. Less than 800 made, less than 10% of S code production, but don't bring anywhere near the same coin. As noted, "restored" means many things, from respray over...

No difference in the convertible specific parts...

Just saw a post elsewhere on the numbers on the seat pans. Marked by the installer of the headliner for QA/QC purposes, per that thread.. I found a "3" in my S GT coupe...

FireHawk: Speed Rating S/T Treadwear: 500 (very high, indicates very hard compound) Traction: A Temperature: B Load index 96-108 No wear warranty TA: Speed Rating S/T Treadwear: 400 Traction: A Temperature: B Load index 91-98 So not a lot of difference in the basic specs, personal...

"How do I lower the front? and what are we going to do with the leafs??" On the leafs you can get them reset, or just buy new ones. On the front, new springs to lower.. or just drop in an FE! :wink:

+1 on 215's, max. BFG TA's are a good look, I just ordered a set for mine... in 205/70/R14's.

Hard parts going to be finding the two tiny holes up front for the clip... I'll see if I have photos or dimensions in the stash of supporting docs...

Not interested in bigger or fatter, I see no need for anything over a 205 on a c code... and no sense replacing the 14" Magnum's as they look good to me... IMO on the 68 and earlier I find a 225 about the widest tire that looks good.. even that's a bit much, and while I'd go 15's if I needed...

I don't think a C code qualifies as "Muscle".... :wink: That was the car at pick-up, put a set of Magnum 500's I had on it as the chrome on those rims is kinda iffy... This is the current look...

White GT/CS, balck vinyl top, black std interior, Plain Jane 289/C4, Magnum 500s, 14". Driver condition. Debating whitewalls (on it now), raised white letter (BFG TA), and blackwalls...

Drake gets good press, but unfortunately the pattern is not correct for the 68's, I gather the OEM tooling was lost. The one I used, I forget which manufacturer, maybe Dashes Direct?, is a real rubbery/gummy--bear type thing which I'm not real happy with. I can accept the stitching looking...

... and to use a famous quote.. "can't we all just get along" .. and talk about the cars! :tongue:

Yep, no chicks, or dudes, or anything but "workers"... wait can't use that as it has proletarian and communist implications; no "bosses" either, capitalist and aristocratic echoes... Can't use "Sir" (implies military or seniorty, and status based on gender), Ma'am is out (obviously as a...

The GT/CS book notes all HCS were built in June and July, per Kevin Marti's database. The 15xxxx number and March date is far in advance of all others noted in the book, which notes HCS production starting June 8th...???

Not profound, just answering the question. To each their own.

Dash, no... a postcard, maybe... not into the "hero worship" (nothing against CS and respect all he has done, far more than many, and don't understand why so many love to tear him down) but saying "he saw my car for 28 seconds, shook my hand and signed it...look!" does absolutely zero for me...

Looks like a DIY job...
