    1968 Grass Valley Car Show

    Sorry no video Robert. My sister has made a successful business of that and turned us down for someone who is actually paying her. Some loyalties are based more on needs I suppose, Go figure ;-) We missed you too! I didn't see the purple RS, but there was a green factory 440/ six-pack...

    Doug, Grass Valley is approx. 50 miles northeast of Sacramento in the Sierra Nevada foothills. It was incorperated in 1850 with the first discovery of gold embedded in quartz and eventually became surrounded by the three richest producing gold mines in all the western U.S. It's name came from...

    ...All I would add is that I hope everyone gets and achieves what they want. 'That we also accept each other's differences and continue to "grow" one another to the highest levels in the "big picture"....enjoyment and praise of some of the greatest American automobiles ever produced! Thank...

    1968 Grass Valley Car Show

    Needless to say Ron, you were a Big part of the day's magic! Sometimes after a sorte' as this, I have to pinch myself while wondering if it's just a dream. For one reason or another (years ago) we ended up with this California Special Mustang. Although many early Stangs were on the road...

    1968 Grass Valley Car Show

    Paul, no worries about "no awards". The show was put on by the Downtown Assoc. and was not affiliated with a club. The judging categories were overall: "Best antique, Best hot rod, Best '60's muscle" and etc... Had there been a "Mustang" category, then things would've been different...

    ...Right now, the driveway looks like the deck of the USS Enterprise. Tomorrow morning early, we launch five GT/CSs, two Mach's and Renee's "goldie" w/ Captain "Clubpro" on an important mission.... Renee's first GT/CS show! 'Long as everyone drives safe - we shouldn't need any "arresting...

    1968 Aftermarket a/c- keep or toss?

    ...I would agree w/ Bob & toss it if it were mine. I just did the heater core in another factory a/c car. 'Real bugger getting to those rear clips to drop the lower housing located in the upper floorpan area. The Ford shop manual was a useful and truthful resource. I'm not sure if the dealer...

    Passenger Door Lock Question

    ...No, I didn't make it up Jon ('wish I did;-) I had heard that twice from some seasoned old timers over the past 10 years or so. One was a grandfather to a friend who still has the '51 Ford PU he bought new that is set up that way. I've been on-line now for about an hour trying to find...

    Some railroad history...

    Yes Scott, it is possible to book a trip as this train routinely travels the Union Pacific system to special events. Here is the schedule: http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/excurs/schedule.shtml We went up into the mountains, then "chased" it down the hill to three different locations to get the...

    Some railroad history...

    ...rolled past here today as the U.P. #844 made it's way through Donner Pass enroute to all points central California! Although overhauled numerous times, this locomotive has never been retired from service. It was complete with 1940's vintage passenger train and heritage railroad painted...

    Passenger Door Lock Question

    My friend's old truck is the same way. The driver side door locks from the inside and passenger door with a key. It was so that a woman wearing a long dress etc... could lock her car from the inside and slide out the passenger side onto the sidewalk (and out of the muddy street), then lock the...
