Right now I'm looking to buy a restored GT/CS but this car really is better than it sounds and it wouldn't take much to get it nice. I can do my own bodywork so that saves a lot of money. Running an analysis on the cost of a restored car and this car plus parts and labor they work out to be...

Anyone want to give me a hand deciding what I should pay for this one if I decide to purchase it? Strong 289 4V (not original) Gulfstream Aqua with white stripes Aqua Standard Interior 2.79 rear Automatic rebuilt 12 years ago Had front end accident a few years ago. Hood pins not placed in...

Count all the ones that you remember-NOT the ones you were told about! 1. Blackjack chewing gum 2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water 3. Candy cigarettes 4. Soda pop machines that dispensed bottle 5. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes 6. Home milk delivery in glass...

Ok Don, now we know why you are listed as a "Sr Member".!! :D

This guy is in for a shock. I already send him a note that his car is not a GT/CS. Check the VIN. Not too sure about it being an easy restoration project either. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554468941&fromMakeTrack=true

Another way to go might be to offer 3 or 4 packages. Red - just the book Blue - Book and DVD Gold - Book and Shirt Green - Book, DVD, Shirt

Great idea. I had forgotten all about the return holes in the heads. That will heat up an engine real fast.fd The same thing seems to happen often to the oil retun holes on Ford small blocks. People forget to clean out those holes when they have the valve covers off. It's usually little...

Have you removed the radiator cap and stuck your finger, or a thermometer, in there to see if it's hot or are you relying strictly on the temperature gauge? If the engine water is hot but the radiator water is just warm I've vote for a bad pump. You should also be able to just look at the...

Even though we all agree the car is not a GT/CS or HCS it might be interesting to see some of the details to see if an individual built the car or if a dealer might have built it. For example: How is the hood pin retainer attached to the radiator support? Are there metal caps behind the...

There is what appears to be a fairly nice lower console pad on ebay for any of you who need such a pad. It is from a Cougar but I think it will work for a Mustang. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34206&item=4553285856&rd=1

Well said Rhonda. After our little incident last week it's difficult to know who's being serious and who's messing with us.

Jason, are you and Tim driving the 500 or towing it?

A perfect clone is very, very difficult to make. The hood pin attachment hardware alone would be a nightmare to reproduce and the trunk wiring harness would be nearly impossible. On the flip side it is easy to make a clone that will fool most non-experts. That said, I agree with Sara in that...

This car has had an interesting history recently. It was on ebay a month ago. The high bid was $9,600 and the reserve was not met. The high bidder was Phil Newey. Now it is on ebay again and the high bid so far is only $7,600. The seller is Phil Newey so Phil must have paid somewhere around...

This is on ebay right now. The guy is offering to turn a purple GT/CS, with round fog lights, with a buy-it-now of $20,000 into an Eleanor clone for an extra $8,500. Hook I think you missed a rodent on your last hunt! THANKS FOR CHECKING OUT THE MUSTANG. THIS IS A 1968 CALIFORNIA SPECIAL...

Almost all the GT/CS decklids seem to have a little too much bend to them. Doug is right that placing a weight on the lid will eventually bend it back into shape, Corvette guys do that all the time. Also check to see it the panel has pulled loose from the frame. If it has then you may just...

I'll be the first to admit that I don't know much about "R" models but I was shocked by the 3-speed. But in retrospect, with that much torque a 3-speed might be the way to go.

Ok Jason I'll throw out a number just to start the conversation. Garage addition $25,000.....oops, sorry wrong numbers. Is it a S-code car or a C or J code car with a 390 installed? That will make a big difference. Let's assume it is an S-code with a different 390. With nothing else...

Nice car but I'm not too sure about the rosewood panels. Has anyone seen those before?

Is it Highland Green? If so add 20%. ;D
