    Strange Things Happen

    Neil. I had the same thing happen at a gas station about three weeks ago. A guy walked up and practically demanded I sell him my Highland Green 'S' for $35K. As that was what I paid for it, I hesitated... He said he wanted to convert it to a 4-spd. and basically hot rod it. He then became...

    ADMIN - Upgrading servers on Fri

    Neil, I'll Fed-X you a carb to rebuild, a set of heads to lap, a dash panel to re-wire and a radiator to re-core... Will that get you through the weekend? ;-)

    4-Speed S-Code in Sacramento

    What a great and informative thread! Thanks and keep it coming! The seller (Eric) called me this afternoon to tell me all he had learned from Mike and to say he's also listed an RS/SS Camaro. "If the Camaro goes - I may now just keep the GT/CS" he says... It was neat because he seemed...

    1968 Steering and Suspension recommendations

    ...Boy! 'reading back, I'd say you really had your work cut out for you. I was torn between the rack & pinion power steering and stock PS, but voted "stock"... Since you will be driving alot, I figured you would eventually wish you had PS if you didn't ;-) The Mustang II front end seems like...

    4-Speed S-Code in Sacramento

    I spoke w/ the seller who said he's learning all he can about the "S". He's been here reading up today and is very open to learn more. He also has a very reasonable "reserve" price IMO. Nice guy... Do give him a call if interested! I would go look if I had the space for it...

    4-Speed S-Code in Sacramento

    1968 Looking for my first GT/CS

    ...Changing plugs on a '68 is actually easy. The '69/ 70 is much harder. Maybe because you had headers?..

    ...Looks that way to me... Interesting that it's not listed as "GT " on the Marti report.

    Forming GT/CS Chapter in SVT Owner's Assoc.

    ...I don't see where we're being asked to merge or for late-model folks to leave here, rather an invitation to individuals who want to expand to do so. A person can do both... I do see it as an expansion for Paul however, to sell more stuff. So be it, but I'm staying here...

    When a restoration shop just won't finish...

    Dan, PM sent... I will be in Sac on Tuesday if you need. 'Far as I'm concerned - your options are wide open. We can also be among those who "go in weekly and demand progress."

    1968 How do you compare?

    Doug, whatever you decide to do will be fine, but I believe that the only way to insure it will be an investment would be to gather as many original, NOS and correct parts as possible over the long run. That way - when you do go to "cash in" you will be in the best possible shape. These cars...

    ...Easy Amy - Dan already has some rapport here... Diplomacy on his behalf first - Biker buds & big boots if that doesn't work. ;-) No need to cost him alot of extra $$ by jumping to conclusions. Ron is knowledgeable, Rob is decisive, Steve is logical, Jason is armed and I will just do...

    When a restoration shop just won't finish...

    ...Depending on where in Sacramento this shop is - you're in deep shit if all you have is a pistol. I'm for (first) finding out where the project stands and arming Dan w/ enough info to make a decision. I would then be willing to assist him and/or anyone here to help him get his desired...

    Gargage Flooring

    ...Yeah, but if you're anything like me - those little screws, washers & nuts will play holy hell with your vacuum impeller. I would need a magnetic roller like the roofers use ;-))
