Does anyone know if it is possible to purchase a woodgrain kit for a '68 floor console?

Paul, since you don't clarify whose post(s) your above comments reference I feel I must at least defend my position, assuming they are directed at me. I read all the posts on this subject and can't see where anyone lumped all Californians together or made off-the-cuff subjective statements...

Can and will someone explain to me why these spark plug wires are worth $235? This is a serious question. I'm not being sarcastic. Thanks http://tinyurl.com/arm6t

Just to make sure we are all talking about the same car here is the link to the one I'm referencing. It's a C-code car. Am I looking at the wrong one? http://tinyurl.com/bgxob

Mabye for the Washington, Idaho, Oregon market we could have frames that have. "1968 GT/CS" on the bottom and something like "The only good thing to come from California" on the top. Just kidding. ;D

Thanks Rhonda. I couldn't remember if we had discussed this. The old 2nd thing to go ailment.

Mark, that falls right in line with what our car+restoration prices have been. We all seem to end up spending a total of $20,000 to $25,000 before we're done. As stated before; the only way to break that cycle is to buy a car that has been mostly restored, at a good price, and then finish it...

Check out this auction on eBay. It looks like someone installed Lucas lights in the Marchal brackets. Judging by the incorrect grille I assume someone didn't understand how to put the front end back together but this car brings up an interesting question; do you think any dealers may have...

Sorry, poorly written. What I meant was that I'd be willing to pay $6000 for that car if I was going to use it as a driver but if I was going to restore it into a show car in original condition I'd be willing to pay more because the value of a perfectly restored HCS will eventually be...

Ok, I'll start the discussion. It is my belief that, in the current market, mainly due to the fact that very few people know what HCS Mustangs are, their value is only slightly higher than a normal Mustang of the same year and in the same shape, exlusive of the '68s. Now, that is a pretty...

When I was in school at Washington State University there was a cartoon in the college paper showing someone leaving school carrying 2 other people, one under each arm. The caption read, "Happiness is a Californian leaving town with a New Yorker under each arm!" That example seems to pretty...

Jason, sorry if I wrote my response incorrectly. I didn't mean to imply that the top of a black dash would fade to brown but rather that a brown dash would darken to black. From what I've seen dashes usually darken with age so an old abused chocolate brown dash pad should be brown on the...

As one who grew up in a small town in Eastern Washington I will second Steve's comment about the attitude of some people towards Californians in that part of the country. Please remember that all the towns in Eastern Washington, Norther Idaho, and Eastern Oregon are small and most of the...

It's interesting how there were 14 bids on the 656s and zero bids on the 653s. The 653s have been relisted on eBay.

One set of 656s sold for $986 plus shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4580668080&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 and a set of 653s sold for $900 plus $18 shipping...

Paul, did Ford trademark "GT/CS" or "California Special" or both?

Paul, from all the pictures I've seen I think you are correct that the steering wheel pad should be the lighter shade. It seems that the only dark items for the 2-tone interiors are the door panels, seat inserts, and dash pad. Maybe the knee and pillar pads but I'm not too sure on those...

I've never seen black stripes on a highland green car but I'll bet the combo would look good. Sort of subtle and mean.
