I may be interested as well but at a cost of $150 I would need to see some detailed photos of a completed model to insure I was getting my $ worth. Cory

You were in the garage legally I suspect? Just kidding. ;D Is the car for sale? If it is and you're in a postition to buy I'd certainly ask what the owner wants then post up his price here and we can at least tell you if it's in the neighborhood. Sometimes those great finds in garages and...

I noticed it looked like they tried to mask around the HCS decal when they painted and it looks pretty rough, but I guess it is a good gesture on the sellers part to show the zoomed in picture so you can at least see it.

My windshield still sports your original decal. I would say that if you plan on continuing this tradition and eventually making a 40th anniversary I wouldn't hesitate making this one for the 35th. We could always replace the 35th with the 40th when the time comes. Either way I think it will...

My two cents is that insurance companies have one thing in mind and that is get as much of your money as possible and give you as little as possible in return. If you think about it Collectors insurance should be quite a bit cheaper than regular insurance based on all the restrictions and the...

I will second the Great Job. Looks really nice and makes me want to get started on redoing mine as well. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Cory

First, if your intent is to get the car back to original then you shouldn't be putting any blowers or high performance big block engines in thus the three speed will (in my experienced opinion) be an excellent choice. If you want to turn the engine into a low ET race car then I would certainly...

Just out of curiosity have you ever owned a 3 Speed coupled up behind a V8 in a classic Mustang? If so what kind of trouble did you incur, and at what mileage did you have the problems? Just curious as to what I might expect outside of what I have already experienced. Thanks, Hook

I've had my 289 with the 3 speed for over 15 years now and I'll support the hard on clutches problem as well. I've put in a few clutches over the years, probably some what my fault. I also did a lot of sidestepping the clutch. Just get the rpm right and shove it into the next gear both up and...

My three speed is sitting directly behind a 289 V8. I purchased the car from the second owner and I know both owners and both owners had the car during their teens to early 20's prior to my purchasing the car and I would think that would be more than adequate to qualify for real world driving...

Questions on your stripes that are coming loose. Do you know why they are coming loose? Do you know the source the stripes were bought from? I'm just trying to gain as much information as I can in advance of going through the steps in my restoration and if you have stripes that are coming...

I may also be interested but I'm not sure what exactly this poster is. Do you have some kind of an example we could see maybe of a different car or something. Hook

Just wanted to chime in and say my GT/CS has the original 3 speed manual tranny and it's been tough as nails with no problems ever. Not sure what kind of problems give the impression this is a weak transmission? I haven't been dragging it at the local strip but I've smoked the tires more often...

Sure is a sweet looking car, I wouldn't kick it out of bed excuse me I mean the garage. Nicely done and and looks to be in pretty sweet condition from the pictures. $26,000 is certainly a bit much for me however. Cory the Hookedtrout

Doesn't do anything for me either. Shouldn't have to worry to much about it though. It should get ripped off the first nice dip in the road. It is your car and you should only try and make yourself happy so enjoy it how you want to. Cory

My GT/CS has the wrong rear stripe as well. When they repainted it they had all the stripes custom made rather than ordering a kit. They took pictures and then went to a local Tint and Trim place and my rear stripe does not look correct either. It is way to small all the way around. Anyway...

You are right and mine does have it, had to go look, guess I need to get more intimate with my GT/CS. Cory

So if my understanding is correct then the Mustang script is correct for a 68 mustang but not on the GT/CS?

Love the looks of your car. I too can't wait to see it striped out. I do have a question for the group, is the Mustang emblem on the front fenders as seen in this photo an option, correct, or incorrect? Mine does not have the Mustang emblem on the front fenders and my memory serves me that...

Rocky Mountains, Idaho near Yellowstone National Park for me. My Special spends its winters stored away in the garage but it gives me something to look forward to in the spring along with some great fly hatches on the Henry's Fork. Cory
