    1968 My GT/CS in California Auto Museum

    Few people know that the door agar light took a special flashing bulb I can't remember the number right now. But the flashing was not only to catch your attention but in case you left your door open for a long period of time the heat from the bulb would not melt the lens. Yes the Dark brown hard...

    1968 Lucas fog lights...ebay

    Ed I have a new set of lucas lights that I bought for our HCS and did not use them. As you can see in the pictures they do not say England on the glass. I paid $400 for them and would like to get close to that. The same seller is now asking $500. The pictures show one new one and one original. Marty

    Yes you are correct about the ball checks. It is hard to find parts for them. It is easer to find a different pump. Marty

    I know we are so excited. We can't wait till spring! A few years back I restored a 68 fastback for a original owner who was married in the car and wanted it restored so his son could be married in it also. I got it done in time and we were invited to the wedding. When we arrived we found the...

We traveled to Greenbay WI. and found it to be a very rust free AZ. car that had never seen a mile of nothern winter roads. It had some damage but all in...

    1968 Mini Tach

    It is not the same. To use a original tach you need a tach under dash, cluster, head light and engine harnesses. It is quite expensive. It is cheeper to buy the repop kit. The original tach get it's information from the iginition wire to the coil. So if your tach gos bad your engine will stop...

    Correct Voltage regulator?

    I belive that a non AC car would have had Blue with silver letters. AC cars had blue with yellow letters. Neils suggestion of the electronic version is a good idea on a driven car. Just be sure to replace the cap with a tubular rivit like the ones used in the grill if you wish to be concours...
