Don't know anything about it except the first auction ended on June 15th at a price of $16,200. Reserve not met.

Not sure, others are much better detail people.

The engine compartment can get a little tricky because of the transition from black to red oxide. I guess one way to describe the transition is to say that when looking down your should see black, but when looking up from under the car you should see red oxide, more or less. I think Richard...

CM, Can you use a deluxe parchment interior for your restoration? http://bham.craigslist.org/pts/4462252113.html

It was originally yellow with a deluxe saddle interior. That would have looked great!

Ed, It was on eBay during the middle of May in Escondido. I think the Sacramento (Lincoln) car had a black top and black stripes.

Tim, Please check your e-mail.

If the '67 289 had 9.3 compression with 53cc combustion chambers how can the '68 have the same 9.3 compression with 63cc combustion chambers??? '68 2V heads have huge combustion chambers, the largest of any Windsor engine. Large combustion chambers = low compression, small combustion chambers...

'68 289 is 8.7 http://www.geocities.com/~mustangs68/eng.html http://www.carmemories.com/cgi-bin/viewexperience.cgi?experience_id=131 http://www.mustangtek.com/engine/FordEngineAssemblyID.htm

The first known HCS seems to be 165224 and the last is 171998.

You're right. I had a senior moment and switched your issues. The exact same thing happened with my J-code with a 4300 and am pretty sure the problem was dirt that found its way to the carb. I think the dirt was so small it went through the filters. The car ran great at full throttle but it...

You may also want to check the fuel filter.

Clean the hose first!:wink:

The main problem with the 289 isn't induction, it's compression. The '68 289s have something like 8.7:1 compression, while the 302 has 10:1.

The GT/CS sales brochure shows the wire wheel covers with red centers and the horse emblem. Is that the correct center cap?

Another culprit may be dirt in the carburetor needle/seat, or a stuck needle.

An episode of Turn & Burn about a T-Bird and a Chrysler Newport shows a white GT/CS with a red stripe in the background at an auction parking lot. The program is on Velocity.
