    1968 Starting Issue

    It runs. Apparently, the problem was the fuel pump. Can anyone tell if this is an original fuel pump?

    For Sale GT/CS at local auction

    This is a little odd. The car has been repainted (poorly) a couple years ago. I wonder why they are using old photos. Here is the original ad. http://californiaspecial.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12539

    For Sale Another One in Massachusetts

    This car was advertised by Daniel Schmitt, in Saint Louis, a year or so ago. It apparently went from one high-priced dealer to another high-priced dealer. https://www.schmitt.com/inventory/ds-1968-ford-mustang-gtcs-california-special-2/ What's with the saddle seats and the green doors, and the...

    My new garage

    ...and the wet bar, fridge, radiant heat in the floor, recliner, TV, stereo system, hot tub, etc.? I sure wish I had room at my place for that large of the shop/garage. It may be time to follow Steve's lead and purchase 20 acres in the wilderness!!

    1968 Car randomly dies

    The yellow wire is the main feed to the switch. If you lose it you lose all power to everything.

    For Sale 1968 California Special no#2 off the assembly line/by Marti report

    Dave, The car is not listed as a GT/CS on the Marti report but it may actually be an early one. Would you be willing to check it out to see if maybe it's real? Here are some photos from the seller. As you can see the entire front end is wrong with no fog light brackets, small twist lock holes...

    1968 Starting Issue

    The car sat overnight and wouldn't start this morning until I primed it. I since adjusted the choke to close the butterfly a little more (maybe the gas is just evaporating) and purchased a new fuel pump.

    1968 Starting Issue

    Today I ran a 12V wire to the coil and the car would not start. I then dumped a little gas in the carb and it started right up. Once the car starts it will start every time, unless it sits for a long time, then no amount of pumping the throttle will get it to start. The car runs well when...

    1968 Car randomly dies

    I’m not sold on it yet. The others may want to chime in. A faulty coil can create the same issue, as can vapor lock.

    1968 Car randomly dies

    The switch doesn't need to come out. There are two prongs on the connector that need to be pressed to remove the connector. One of the prongs is visible on the photo of the connector, there's another one on the other side. All in all I think it's easier to remove the switch to gain extra...
