    I found this GT / CS and need some help

    Based only on the 2 photos, and what I suspect to see in additional photos I would be hard-pressed to believe this car would be worth more than $10K. Worst possible scenario: 1.) Body/paint $12K minimum 2.) Mechanical (engine, suspension/brakes) $4K 3.) Interior (upholstery, carpet, headliner...

    I found this GT / CS and need some help

    1.) Ask the owner if its for sale 2.) If it is, check & record the VIN tag viewable inside the passenger side windshield. 3.) TAKE PICTURES- interior, engine compartment, ALL body panels, bottom (floorplans) if accessible. 4.) Pour a cup of water into the cowl vent (forward of the windshield)...

    1968 Power steering pump paint source? (referred to as "dark blue" or "teal")

    I was sure the NPD P/S pump color is correct. Now, if they'd only get it back in stock. IIRC, isn't the front area (where the shaft is) supposed to be Black? Neil

    1968 Trick to getting brighter dash lights

    You might want to replace the old blue diffusers. They become cloudy over the years. and fresh ones are much better. Neil

    Non factory upgrades - value or devalue??

    My first GT/CS had drum brakes. I was raised in my Dad's auto repair shop back in the day of Power Drum Brakes. They work fine for normal driving. NPD sells a Power Brake Booster for Drum Brakes P/N 2005-23AB, for $382. I installed one and was very pleased with it. (Better than paying $1,000+/-...

    1968 Correct "Ford Blue" engine color in a spray paint?

    NPD lists the correct Ford Blue p/n AP-EB @ $18.75 per aerosol. Add sales tax + shipping and you're looking at $25 per can. You'll need 2 cans. (NPD's AP-EB is SEM's #15993 listed on Amazon for $15.00) Neil
