I think the seller is probably more ignorant of the product than deceitful. We need to remember that we know more about California Specials, and '68 Mustangs, than 99% of the car-selling population. And even with all our knowledge we still argue about things. Heck, just look at some of the...

You have just brought up one of the greatest problems with eBay. As a huge CYA the sellers always add disclaimers that the bidders should inspect the car but how many bidders ever do? My gut feeling is that some cars sell for more on eBay than they would on the normal retail market but I...

I've always considered the value of something to be what people are willing to pay for it. When you say "book value" do you mean the price guides?

I purchased a set of brackets from Delta Bay about a month ago. Attached are pictures of the brackets. The backs are painted green just as a rust preventative. I'll paint them grille color before I install them which should be next weekend. Can anyone tell if the brackets are significantly...

Thanks for the compliment Steve. I have been scouring eBay for the last year looking for deals and am always amazed at the parts people will buy and what they will pay for them. I throw away a lot of the stuff I see being auctioned and purchased. It seems that almost ANY Mustang can be parted...

Rhonda, the GT/CS was certainly inspired by Little Red, even though she was a '67, but the inspiration was looks only. Whoever designed the '68 Shelby basically designed the GT/CS, whether he or she meant to or not, since the entire back end, scoops, and fog lights are the same. That seems to...

I emailed him for the VIN. I think he's a dealer and he seems to have no idea what to look for to see if the car is real.

Here is one that was hiding under '67. Looks like a nice car. The VIN is 8R01C 142562 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4593382794&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Those are some interesting hood pin retainers. Which picture shows the frame rail damage? The car is certainly worth $3,000 since the parts are easilyworth that much.

Paul, Ifound a website a few months ago that offered leather. I'll try to find it again and post it.

Rhonda, I agree with you about the 289 vs 302 comparison but I also think he's being quite creative in his analogy. It's like saying that a 283 is the same as a 350.

Nice looking car but I think the foglights are incorrect. It'll be interesting to see what this one sells for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-FORD-MUSTANG-GT-CS_W0QQitemZ4592223033QQcategoryZ6236QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Here is the description for the blue GT/CS in Sacramento that was on eBay. The seller seemed to know what he was talking about until he got to the highlighted line. Since when did Shelbys have 289 2Vs? Mint 68 Mustang California Special – Similar to a Shelby This is one of the finest 1968...

Rhonda it means he runs the quarter mile in 12 seconds

Another possibility is that the customer asked the dealer to fill the holes and instead of doing so he just took the hood off another car in the lot. Since the customer told the dealer to fill the holes then in that person's mind the dealer must done so because the holes are gone.

Sara, I did the same type of analysis and just about drove myself crazy since there didn’t seem to be any consistency or pattern to vendor’s prices. One vendor would be high on the seat covers but low on the seat foam. I couldn't find anyone who was low on everything. Most of these...

Lucas (mounted on posts) or Marchal (mounted on the grill)? I have a few sets of Lucas lights ranging from average to outstanding and Bob Teets sells the correct posts for them.

Hi Rhonda Yes, they are both for automatics. The hole half way back on the aqua pad is for the seat belt holders. Does anyone know if it is possible to make a manual console out of an automatic one by changing the face plate?

$500 to install a headliner is insane. I had a shop here quote $150. It's probably a 2-4 hour job for a professional working alone. Both windows do need to be removed but you can do that if you want. Just remove the trim, cut the rubber, and push out the window. Of course putting the...
