Not mine, saw this in Denver Craigslist. This car was for sale about 6 months ago and he pulled the ad after not selling. I have talked with the owner, not seen the car though. I believe he owns a European auto repair shop. Says the car is in excellent condition...for what it is worth...

Not mine, just saw this in Craigslist. It is from April 10, not sure it is still around. Is this a good price? http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/2317141600.html

Congratulations! Hope it keeps you busy for a while. david

Go aluminum. Copper is getting expensive and aluminum is better. If you do go aluminum, pay attention to the antifreeze you use. Make sure it is compatible with aluminum. It certainly won't look stock, though. An electric fan will make a huge difference when in traffic or stopped. It...

At one point I was looking to buy an early Falcon and ran across this car. Turbo vs v8 conversion? Maybe worth a try. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ctd/2334608180.html

My HCS did not have the GT group either. david

Once you are in 4th gear, close ratio and wide ratio are both the same (i.e. 1.00) and it is the rear end ratio that impacts RPM's. 60MPH turing 3K RPM does not sound like 3:25 gears. I'd say more like 3:70's. Were you in 4th gear?

My understanding, but I am no expert, is that you need to match it up with your rear end gears. In general, wide ratio will do better with a higher geared rear end (i.e. 2.75 or 3.00) and close ratio will do better with lower gears (3:90). Close ratio the gear spacing is closer and thus the...

Check these guys out. They have done a bunch of gas to electric conversions. One was turning a cities fleet of trucks to electric. Another is a vintage Mustang Convertible. They also have a nice inventory of classic cars for sale. I love visiting them and taking a ride in an electric...

A friend just passed this site on to me. Thought it was pretty cool, so I am sharing: http://www.lov2xlr8.no/broch1.html david

The Camaro did not have to do special editions to drive up sales, they sold on their own. Sorry, could not resist. I have owned 3 first gen Camaros. Loved my 1969 Z/28. But I do miss my HCS. Looks like Mustang has outproduced Camaro over the years, though. Lifted from the internet: Since...

Looks like an interesting search engine. Here is the one I have been using for a while. Seems to be running slow some days and normal others. http://www.jaxed.com/cgi-bin/mash.cgi?cat=cp&itm=mustang&loc=&fil=california+special&ys=1968&ye=1968&ps=&pe=&pgs=100&submit=++++go++++

I got a kick out of the fuel consumption numbers (MPG). Quarter mile times seem reasonable.

This just came up yesterday on craigslist in Denver. Bob, call me next week if you want to go check it out. I believe it is at a used car dealership. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2106084777.html David

Anyone live close to Springfield, Mass? I sold my HCS last month and have an eye on another car. It is not a GT/CS, HCS, or even a Mustang. It is a relatively rare classic though. Wondering if someone is close by and can check out the car for me. I'd really appreciate it, and be happy to...

Scott, Good luck with the build, exciting times. I totally agree with the do what you like philosophy, but never was a fan of the argent tail light panel. It is interesting to me that it took 3 months for your car to sell. Sorry to go off in a tangent, and I am sure this has been discussed...

Who knows it might surprise someone and actually be a California Special!

Sold my HCS, it is now in Canada. Wondering how many HCS are there. I have been talking with Bob Teets about modernizing the HCS registry and building a data base that will allow this type of questions to be answered with minimal works. I am going to try and get it done over the next few...

Thanks for the reply guys. What about keeping the oil in the engine...any issues? Sold the car, it is heading to Canada this weekend. Might be the only HCS in Canada, not sure. David

I need to ship an engine. Looking for recommendations on how to get it ready for the shipper. I figure I need to: Get a pallet Build up a stand to support the engine and clear the oil pan Tie down the engine to the pallet Shrink wrap Couple of questions: How should I build up the pallet...
