Convertible rear seat is 43" measuring side to side from the back and 46" measuring from the front. I also noticed that a convertible rear seat has a much more pronounced hump in the middle compared to a coupe seat. Hope this helps. David

I can pull and measure my convertible rear seat later tonight, if that helps. Glad to see you keeping busy Neil. David

I sold my HCS last year to a wonderful lady in Canada. Been looking for another car and found and bought this one last spring. Car had about 75% of the right conversion items. Pretty complete now thanks to a grille from Mike and Fog lights from Bob. Still got a few more fixes though (289...

Recently been through both stripped wheel stud and power steering hose problems. I bought a 68 Convertible earlier this year. Put on Shelby 10 spoke wheels and found that the rear wheel studs were all messed up. In addition to that, the car has 4 wheel disc brakes. For some reason, the old...

I like springtime yellow and black interior. With Ivy, no. Good choice on the color change. I have used Accumatch Products, 67-73 Ford Black Charcoal - Metallic (#L-4464). NPD has a similar product (Charcoal Black metallic, P/N AP-4464) . I do not think they are the same. I have seen both...

I recently bought a 68 mustang that has an AOD. Not very happy with it right now. My understanding is that they are heavy and take up power. I have someone looking at mine this week. If I can not get it running how I want, I am conteplating a convertion to a 5spd manual. Do some internet...

The same guy has posted on most of the mustang forums about this problem. Looks like he is a trouble maker for pretty much every car manufacturer. Not very credible. Check out post #30 on page 2...

Congratulations, sounds like an exciting day! You have a beautiful airport there in Franklin. Wish I was coming up this year. David

Looks like it could be closer to a 50 lbs savings with the alum intake. Those FE cast intakes are HEAVY!!! http://www.carmemories.com/cgi-bin/viewexperience.cgi?experience_id=134 I'd guess the difference between a fully fitted out (with cast iron intake and heads) small block and big block is...

With todays technology, the registry information should be sitting in a database. This would allow easy updates, public or private access to up to date information and the ability to query the information in many different and useful ways (number of red cars, deluxe interior, dso by s/n, etc).

Too bad I ordered mine last week. Probably not a bad price. I have seen original C2 (1963-1967) Corvette Knockoff wheels sell for over $10K.

Certainly the HCS is rarer, but as mentioned above, the GT/CS decal on the sides and the rear script set the Cal Special off.

No vested interest in how this unfolds, but a very interesting topic. I am kind of surprised, given its importance to these cars, that after all these years it has not been completely documented. My question is, what efforts have been made to track down someone from Ford that was involved...

I remember you posting about that, I'll bet that was quite a shock. I am pretty sure those are the Branda wheels. That was a beautiful car. I went ahead and ordered the Vintage 50's. Too good of a deal through CJ Pony parts (tire package and free shipping). The Branda set with tires and...

Neil, Are those the Vintage 50's or Branda's?

What I am trying to understand is how much of a visual difference is there between the Vintage 50 and Branda wheels. In additional to the general price difference between the two wheels, Branda charges shipping and others (mainly CJ Pony Parts) do not.

I think I will be going with 235-60-15's all around on 15-7 rims.

There looks to be a significant difference between the Vintage 50 and the 10 spoke shelby wheels from Branda. Branda's are licensed and built to original shelby specs. I need a new set of wheels and like the 10 spoke but don't really want to spend the additional $600. What do people think...

Another car that I saw in Craigslist. This could be a fun restoration. Bob Teets is aware of it, but I do not think he has spoken with the seller. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2356327001.html
