Lots of questions. If it's a real GT/CS the hood and grille have been replaced, and the rear fiberglass has been worked on since the gaps are too even.

Sorry, Casey, I never did completely answer your question. The engine runs great. It just sounds like an F250 diesel at idle. The noise stays fairly constant whether it's in drive, park, or neutral and from what I've read on the internet that should rule out most possible torque converter...

Upon closer inspection it looks to me like both lights are fog lights but one seems to be hazed over. They are the proper lights but they are on the standard Lucas posts instead of the proper GT/CS posts. And of course we have the black tail light doors and the argent tail light panel. Can't...

I know we all agreed to be nicer and not pick apart the cars on eBay but this one is killing me due to the below comment made by the seller: His attention to detail and extensive mechanical Background has restored an old favorite to an unrivaled standard. Does that make it fair game for...

Put it up on stands and ran it. I swear the sound is coming out of both the front and the rear of the engine. Dropped the pan and poked, prodded, & jiggled everything. Everything looks and feels good. All the skirts are present, the thrust bearing looks fine (yes ladies there really is such...

http://tinyurl.com/2eg33z Check out the stripes on the headlight buckets. Never seen that before.

Casey, I've been out of town all week, again, and haven't done anything else to it. This weekend I'm going to put it on jack stands and run it. That way I should at least be able to tell if the noise is coming from the front or rear of the engine. I was also hoping to take it to a few more...

Well said, Paul.

I fixed it, I fixed it, I fixed it!!!!!!!! Our front-load clothes washer used to wobble so badly it would dance across the laundry room. I finally got rid of the wobble!!!!! Still have no idea what's wrong with the GT/CS.

Thanks for the kind words Paul. It's actually good that this happened because it's forced me to go out and look for a mechanic. Going to talk to a few more this weekend. Hopefully I can find one in my price range. I think one reason I'm seeing such high prices is because the mechanics see a...

It sounds as good as it looks! Thanks for the ride Joe!!!:thumb: :icon_pani :icon_pani :icon_pani

Most replacement front springs I've seen are rated at 620#. Does anyone know the rating of the original springs? Are they 480#?

Were any '68 Mustangs equippped with arm rests on the rear quarter trim panels? Were those Cougar-only?

He said it was going out the door to the owner (no engine, trans, or interior) this week.

Hey Jason, Bill and I had a long visit with Bruce yesterday. Interesting guy. Speaking of unusual....he has a beautiful Candyapple Red '68 CJ convertible sitting in his shop!

Still looking at options. As usual, price will probably be the deciding factor. Anyone used either of these companies or have any thoughts on going the internet route for an engine and transmission? Looks like a C4, torque converter, and flex-plate from TCI will run around $1,400. Bolt that...

We have a new CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) so maybe he'll be open to sponsoring a couple Pro-Stock hearses. I've already got the drivers lined up, now I just need some of the company's money!

IMHO Redfire would look great on a '68 GT/CS or HCS.............not that I would ever think of changing the color of a car.:icon_lol:

Even on a chrome valve cover?

Took the car to a few mechanics today. One said, "Someone took out your 289 and installed a diesel." That is exactly what it sounds like. 2 guys said they are pretty sure it's the torque converter and another one voted for a piston skirt problem. A bad torque converter would explain the...
