Ok, it notes all three variants may have been used at different times...

So when did they switch from the plaid to the spatter.

nice looking car, but nnot sure the price matches the quality of the restoration, or the curent market, a few faded bits, but maybe just the photos... One question, trunk shot. Shows plaid. Thought by late '68 the spatter was OEM, and that San Jose used only spatter pattern in 68. Anyone...

If you really want to know, pay Marti for a statistical report on how many J code CS/GT's were GT's... he has the data.

Forgot to add, I have seen posts from some who say they kept the old dead battery, cut out the bottom, and somehow fit a smaller 12V inside and connected it to the posts to keep the look.

Fits over any 24F50 and 24F60 flat top battery with the correct post location. (from Branda's site- http://www.cobranda.com/aubaco.html). They recommend buying the top and taking it along when buying the battery to be sure it fits. I bought a similar looking battery (in blue and yellow) and...

390 with a 3.25 open rear got a close...

Bingo! :smile: I contacted Kevin about this apparent discrepancy, his reply: "No, I can't explain it. It would appear that Ford just put the transmission code of 5 on all 68 390 cars on the data plate and did not create a distinction for that year,though the -M2 and -AD transmissions were...

Yep, but all I can say is I have an 8Rxxxxxx correct VIN stamped apparently factory original tagged RUG-AD close ratio in my 68 (hard to believe somone would fake that back in the 80's, the car sat that long before I bought and restored it). And Kee (and many other references) list a lot of...

Have a '68 390 with VIN stamped toploader. RUG-AD. Per Kee, close ratio. Kee lists a number of close ratio toploaders prior to '69, back to '64. http://www.davidkeetoploaders.com/idchart1.htm ???

Thanks. I though it was a decent find, even if all the primer (and excessive overspray!) on the rear 1/4's hid some hideous welding by the PO that was covered by about 1/2" of "bog' (Oz speak for bondo!") so all the rear 1/4 rich red was after market, all came off and all new metal put on...

Agree 100% on the " Most people that ask a question want a singular answer not a range. " But the reality is that there was variation, not a one-size-fits-all answer. Especially on items like this that were never relaly documents by Ford (whoda thunk in ''67 40+ years on it would be being...

The red oxide was an epoxy sealer/primer... low gloss, not flat, and waterproof. And I've seen reference that even as such, it was not 100% consistent across the entire model year, salmon pinkish to muddy brown... so it may have had some slops added which could affect hue across the range of...

Yes it is.

The car is a '68, so even if made in '67 would have an "8"xxxxxx partial VIN. Think "K" assembly was Kansas City; Comet Fairlane, Fairmont, and some others.... so not an original Mustang trans... but really the same item for the most part. Drop me a line, I'm in Brisbane and have a minor...

????? Well, yes they are both "Mustangs". But you could say the same for a '69 Boss 429 and a '69 coupe. 1. CS coupes, Shelby fastbacks or convertibles, generally higher priced to start 2. no engine performance upgrades, as with a Shelby 3. no front fiberglass 4. no suspension or tire/rim...

And pop open cap w/GT emblem, not the running horse GT/CS version, one would presume...

Question, the placard notes a GT, but no badges on the fender. If a CS was a true GT did they not place the GT badges, and still only used the fender script? And that looks real close to the one I just bought, but it's a pretty plain jane C code in average daily driver condition. Removed...

Hey! Never noticed that before.... nice feature I never saw, as I never scrolled that far down...!! Thanks!!!

Yep, same as standard fender script used in '68.
